One of my favorite pictures i took on the trip is this one, which i took in the kitchen whose traditional name is escaping me. It shows the light from the Shoji giving some of the shadow on the woven basket. The really cool part is that even though you see the light coming through the Shoji in the background, the doorway behind the camera is giving off enough light to create shadows on the cups. This is a great testament to Tanizaki's In Praise of Shadows. I did not know the feeling he portrayed in his text until i sat in the Shoin and i really saw how impressive the shadows created were.
