return to japan gallery japan older woman smiling Nikko Yomei-Mon photo

I couldn't draw a sweeter face if my life depended on it. (Actually I couldn't draw any face if my life depended on it, I can't draw). In the shoe-removal area of Yomei-Mon temple in Nikko, this distinguished lady took a moment to shoot me a glance. The Japanese are so enamoured with all things photographic, they're usually quite honored to pose for you. If only they could teach this to the French.
