A thousand torii — Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto, Japan · 14 – 18 November 2024

Temples and rain in Kyoto

Torii gates, bamboo and autumn temples: five days in Kyoto among red leaves and rain.

The story

How it went

Kyoto in November is an invitation to slow down. I photographed Fushimi Inari at dawn, when the torii are still all yours; I waited for the sun in the Arashiyama bamboo grove; I went back to Gion in the rain, where a woman in a kimono was crossing an alley under a red umbrella. I took a single frame: it was the right one.
