winter solitude-
in a world of one color
the sound of wind
冬枯れや 世は一色に 風の音
-Matsuo Bashō (松尾芭蕉 1644-94).

Snow on To-ji's famous pagoda, the tallest in Japan.
Monks hurry through the cold to a religious service at To-ji.
A warm snack of taiyaki to hold off the cold.
A statue of Kukai at To-ji gathering snow.
This time last year snow sprinkled a little bit of magic on the market✨🌨️
It seems far too warm for snow this year😔
