![Not your average #Starbucks entrance. Spotted in Gion [祇園], Kyoto's most famous geisha district. On Shijo Avenue between Yasaka Shrine and the Kamo River, it's like taking a walk back to old Japan... with lattes. Modern meets traditional and east meets west, all at once.

![Ichi go ichi e [一期一会] is a Japanese idiom that that literally translates to 'one time, one meeting.' It expresses a philosophy that each moment can only be experienced once exactly as it is. It encourages us to treasure and be present in our meetings with people and places, because they'll never occur again exactly the same. During my time here, I'm trying to be present and appreciate every moment.

I loved visiting Rurikō-ji with our group of exchange friends, but I wanted to come back to the temple by myself so I could focus on making some more photographs without them having to wait up for me while I spent 30 minutes making different exposures and such. It was good though, there were actually some other photographers there when I showed up, and we exchanged nods of solidarity. They were both older Japanese men, so a bit more reserved. I wish I had taken their photo!
Can you spot the graveyard kitty?
