The Sacred Verticality of Nachi Falls This photograph captures the breathtaking confluence of architectural precision and natural power at the Seiganto-ji temple complex in Wakayama, Japan. The composition is dominated by the vibrant vermilion Sanjūdō Pagoda, its three tiers of sweeping roofs leading the eye toward the misty backdrop. To the right, Nachi Falls—Japan’s tallest single-drop waterfall—plummets down a sheer rock face, its white, ethereal curtain of water creating a vertical counterpoint to the horizontal lines of the pagoda's balconies. The integration of the man-made structure with the waterfall illustrates the Shinto and Buddhist belief in the sanctity of the natural landscape.
Nachi falls, Wakayama, Japan.

Kinoshita’s careful consideration of Yoshiko Kuga’s adorable high elven ears: both, right, left, none. Such a fabulous actress — my fave after Tanaka, Hara, Takamine
