Castle

by Stephen Nesbitt – offered as a print or canvas

Himeji is home to Japan’s most beautiful surviving feudal castle; Himeji Castle which is both a national treasure and a UNESCO world heritage site. In the 14th Century, a fort was first built on the current site. Over the centuries, various clans who ruled the region, gradually enlarged it. The castle as it stands today, was completed in 1609. Himeji Castle has never been destroyed either by war, fire or earthquakes. The great samurai Miyamoto Musashi also made his residence here for some time. Himeji has around half a million inhabitants and is the second largest city in Hyogo Prefecture after Kobe.

I was fortunate to live in Japan during 2007 and my residence was just behind this mighty castle. Each day as I went to work, I would ride along the footpaths which ran beside the moat of the castle. There was never a day in which I would not stop and look up at this ancient beauty. More often than not, I would pull out my camera and fire off a few shots. This photo has remained one of my favourite photos of Himeji Castle and I often look at it and remember my experiences in Japan. I truly hope I can get back there soon.

Gates

by Stephen Nesbitt – offered as a print or canvas

Kyoto is the old capital of Japan and the residence for the Emperor from 794 until 1868. It is now the country’s seventh largest city with a population of 1.4 million people. Over the years, Kyoto has been destroyed by many wars and fires, but escaped the air raids of World War II due to it’s historic value. Countless beautiful temples, shrines and historic locations survive throughout the city today. The people here are more conservative than others in Japan and they are well aware of the attraction that Kyoto has on foreigners.

This image was taken at Fushimi Inari in Kyoto. The Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines. These trails are lined with Torii (red gates). Inari is the god of rice and is also seen as the patron of business. As such, each of the gates that line the trails have been donated by local Japanese businesses. While merchants and manufacturers worship Inari for wealth, most travellers enjoy the scenic paths up the mountain that the gates provide.

I visited Kyoto many times during the year I was in Japan and Fushimi Inari became one of my favourite places. I would often bring friends and family here when they visited and no one was disappointed by the scenic views.

Bridge

by Stephen Nesbitt – offered as a print or canvas

Nikko is a small city famous for the Toshogu, Japan’s most lavishly decorated shrine complex and mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Nikko is also a centre for Shinto and Buddhist mountain worship for many centuries. Nikko is also home to this beautiful bridge at the base of the shrine complex.

I was only able to visit Nikko twice during my time in Japan, but I am still surprised that I only took two shots of this bridge. You may not cross the bridge, but you don’t need to walk on it to appreciate it. Another thing that surprised and delighted me, is that in Japan, nobody graffiti’s or damages their heritage. Structures such as this bridge, Himeji castle and other wonders are always accessible. You can walk up to them and touch them and nobody harms them.

Miyajima

by Stephen Nesbitt – offered as a print or canvas

Miyajima is just a ten minute ferry ride from the shores of Hiroshima. It’s name means “Shrine Island” and is one of Japan’s three most scenic viewing locations. The Itsukushima Shrine and the large wooden torii stand in the ocean during high tide and make for a spectacular view especially at sunset. Deer and monkeys freely walk around this island and it is said that no person may die or be born on the island.

I have visited Miyajima many times, and have taken friends who visited me from Australia to this location as well. It is one of the most popular places to have a relaxing walk around the picturesque surroundings. At low tide, you can walk out to this Torii and touch it. The size of this particular Torii is huge and it is not until low tide when people go out to touch that you really appreciate the massive size of this structure. Of course, it is most impressive when surrounded by water at high tide, and at dusk, it provides a spectacular view for locals and tourists alike.

Night Light

by Stephen Nesbitt – offered as a print or canvas

Osaka is the third largest city with a population close to 3 million and is the economic powerhouse of the Kansai region. Osaka was heavily bombed during World War II and most of the important structures and treasures were destroyed. Now, Osaka is a bustling tourist friendly city. Osaka is filled with great shopping and dinning areas. I grabbed this shot while walking through some of the old lane-ways around Osaka.
