This photo was taken on the day I attended a kyudo examination at the Kyoto Budo Center just around the corner from the Heain Jingu Shrine. Episode 5 of the Savage Japan Podcast, the racism episode, was recorded at the nearby Kyoto International Community Center shortly after this photo was taken. Episode 5 with its difficult subject matter is proving to be a tough episode to crank out. The current target date for availability is Friday, September 10th. You can hear previous episodes of the Savage Japan Podcast at SavageJapan.com or SavageSnowPodcast.com.

After catching the rickshaw driver coming my way with the giant Heian Jingu torii gate in the background, I turned around and snapped this quick photo of the entrance to Heian Jingu shrine before heading back towards the torii gate and my eventual destination, the Kyoto International Community House.
