WESTERN VIEWS OF JAPAN

Many times, initial western thoughts of Japan are limited to technology, sushi, sumo, karate, geisha girls, cherry blossoms, and Mt. Fuji. I show some of these images here in the beginning so as to share that idea of Japan that exists in many minds but I hope to introduce you to a "new" Japan through pictures and articles of my journey.
