Kyoto

"Kyoto"

I read an internet site about sightseeing in Kyoto. I went to Kyoto several times mainly for business. After I read the article, I wanted to go there again. Usually, I did not have time to go around Kyoto and always went to the meeting room and hotel room only. When I was a student, I walked around Kyoto and Nara with a book named "Koji Junrei" by Tetsuro Watsuji. Tetsuro Watsuji was a famous Japanese philosopher at the Kyoto University, who originally studied German philosophy such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. "Koji Junrei" is a pedantic note when he visited some Buddhist temples in Nara, in which he described his opinion about art works in the temples and reflected the history of Japanese cultures and its relationship with Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese ones. We can understand that Japanese culture is not only a mixture of many cultures but also a result by transformation and extraction of them.
