#Japan ‘becoming very angry’ with misbehaving #socialmedia #influencers
"Westerners may “hv a sense of superiority over Asians & don't feel they need to follow our laws/customs, but there's growing anger here & ordinary people want #police to be stronger”. Japan has long wrestled w #tourists who ignore #etiquette & regulations. “If they tried to do any of tis in #PRC or Russia, there wld be swift consequences.. But they come to #takeadvantage of #tolerance of #Japanese”"

A basic walk in Kyoto is from the Kawaramachi Station area along shops to Yasaka Shrine, then Maruyama Park (first photo). But instead of turning right toward the traditional shops along the slope and reaching the world heritage temple Kiyomizudera, I sometimes turn left and go along the slope to Chion-In (other three photos), the national head temple of a Pure Land Buddhist sect. Pure Land Buddhism has the most adherents in Japan, and this is a very large-scale temple for parishioners and members nationwide, rather than a sort of outdoor museum or monument like Kiyomizudera and most other major tourist attractions.

Everywhere in Kyoto and other prefectures is gorgeous during the fleeting cherry blossom viewing season, so any walking route with a lot of cultivated nature is rewarding to experience now.

Æsthetics turned up to 11.

Japanese CP/M handbook visuals were peak future.

My brain feels Gundam, Bladerunner, Tetsuo and Retrocomputing in one go.

Some highlights for your timeline...
