Visiting Japan #8 (Description Below)

            I composed this image of a woman praying when I visited the Nishi Hongan-ji Temple in central Kyoto. The Main Hall (Goei-do) of the temple is the second largest wood building in Japan.
There are two main religions in Japan, Shintoism and Buddhism, but over the centuries they have become somewhat blended. Japanese people are very devout, and there is everywhere evidence of the importance of faith and mysticism to the Japanese.
