Edo/Tokugawa Period

I relived the Edo/Tokugawa period last Friday. After learning how to put on kimono myself, with multiple re-adjustments from the kimono teachers, I took tiny but quick steps toward the Nijo Castle. A world heritage site, the Nijo castle was completed in 1626. The joy from the experience of taking small steps on the wooden floor within the castle, admiring large wonderful door-and-window paintings, and feeling the natural light coming into the building was breathtaking. I only wished most of the other students had taken more time to enjoy the visual and auditory experiences that Nijo-castle had to offer.
