Do people use boats on the water and/or do they swim in the lake? <br /><br />Your photos, as usual, are extraordinary. And your historical commentary is extremely helpful to someone without knowledge of Japan's history.<br /><br />I cannot help but feel sad at all those who died in useless battles for territorial gain or power or riches. And I wonder if there will ever come a time when human beings see everyone as their neighbor and themselves in their neighbors? <br /><br />Best wishes to you!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-9559549316810859762012-07-03T03:59:17.996+09:002012-07-03T03:59:17.996+09:00Pleasurable insight into Japanese geography and hi...Pleasurable insight into Japanese geography and history, riddled with a discourse between botany and ancient warrior's world of thought. <br />Markedly well done, Yoko!<br /><br />Uwe.you-wee becausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13047534075417228528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-82228681374873917872012-07-02T18:21:42.724+09:002012-07-02T18:21:42.724+09:00Lovely ppost :) !!!Lovely ppost :) !!!Mażenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448101202245619641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324653069160902634.post-87310577344183155582012-07-02T16:37:53.333+09:002012-07-02T16:37:53.333+09:00How ironic, hydrangeas growing abundantly on the a...How ironic, hydrangeas growing abundantly on the ancient battle field, feeding from the warriors remains! I can't imagine a more beautiful metaphor for finally accepting the change, the development. <br />I believe nothing is immoral or perverse in nature, but sometimes we make things seem that way by projecting on the outside world our own limitations and frustrations due to unnatural self-retrains. <br />Still I truly admired the samurai way and their code of honor Bushido (though there are aspects I can't understand), especially if we consider the historical epoch they lived in and the significant differences between them and the european civilization... <br /><br />Lake Yogo and its surroundings are very beautiful and judging by your wonderful pictures it must have been a good trip, Yoko! <br /><br />PS I didn't know hydrangeas change color according to PH level of the soil.
