Spring in Kyoto

Kimono clad women at Kiyomizu-dera temple

Shrine adjacent to Kiyomizu-dera temple

If we could just take away the modern crowds and concentrate on the traditionally garbed tourists to Kyoto temples, we would be transported back four hundred years.  By chance I captured a few such kimono-clad visitors separated from the crowd.  (And for those spoil sports who might notice the 21st-century camera in the second picture, just keep that to yourself.)
