Japan Pt. 3

Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage
Day 2
Nakahechi Trail + Akagi-goe Trail

----------

hours of walking
melt into seconds of bliss;
dance across the earth
-
dark cedar forest,
the mother and father slopes,
passing through the womb

-----------



*roof made entirely of straw!





wooden dick in a shrine!







descent into Yunomine


Over 800 year old tree;
may you out outlive us all!

The Creatures of Kumano Kodo!
