Wednesday July 20, 2016After lunch, we went to a Bamboo forest in Kamakura at the Hokokuji temple. There is something very soothing and relaxing about a bamboo grove, this one even had a Zen Garden. I couldn’t help but think of “Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon” as I walked through.
When we arrived in Kamakura in the morning, I noticed that there are a lot of young people walking around town in traditional clothing. While at the Bamboo forest, there were several groups of young girls in traditional clothing posing for pictures. I noticed that some of them were even wearing the traditional wooden sandals. They were having a hard time walking. One couple had stopped and were band-aids on their feet. I bet they will rethink the footwear on future outings.
