In Kyoto, we see Kiyomizu and Fushimi temples (the latter containing a shrine to Inari, the god of grain and abundance, symbolized by a fox), the stately Nijo Castle, and Gion -- green tea and geisha, including a pretty maiko named Fumisono. Lastly, we visit thatched-roof houses and meet traditional indigo dyer Hiroyuki practicing his art in the rural village of Miyama. (Video courtesy of USP-Ananda-Ampersand.)
