We saw some strange things in the mountains. This was one of those jetskiers, I think that they are called, that was being used to store branches that had been trimmed off the plum trees. I have now idea what they might have done with them later.
We again had some long walks through bamboo thickets. I am glad we did not do the trip in warm weather because mosquitos love this kind of place.
Here we were walking along a ridge line and the left side was all trees but the right was bamboo.
We arrive at the next temple and were able to see the ceiling in one of the buildings. Each of the squares is about a foot on each side and the entire ceiling is made up of individual drawings. It was quite impressive.
The veranda on which we did the chanting was very gaudy. Much more so than most of the other temples. Some of the hangings are just colored paper but a few of them are origami cranes. In Japan people make 1,000 cranes for good luck. In high schools the students will make them and take them to the schools athletic meets.
