Ginza Begging MonkI had left the Tokyo train station and was walking in Ginza to see Kabuki when I found this begging monk.
Olga Wilson was inspired to draw this from my photograph.

I am happy you like this. I tried to get him to talk, but he wouldn't. I tried Japanese and English, but nothing. Thank you for the fave.

I'm currently cleaning up a bridge photo that has 10 people in it and construction. After I upload it, (Hopefully today!) Maybe I'll begin working transforming "Begging Monk"

Another great capture! This photo totally makes me think of Inuyasha, as many of the monks in the show wear similar garb.

Inuyasha has become much more interesting now that I have visited Japan. It all makes sense.

Oh, I bet it does! Alot of times when I'm watching the episodes, I get the impression that if I had been to Japan before, some of the subtle things would make more sense to me.

That's why I have to go back to Japan. I have much more to learn

I am sure he was interesting, but he apparently had some kind of vow of silence and refused to speak. Well, I guess that makes him even more interesting.
