August 10 (Wed.)

I woke up at six as usual but got up around eight since it was my day off.
I was watching TV and drinking coffee when a program about Shukubo(宿坊)
caught my attention.
Shukubo is to stay at a temple and to experience Zazen(座禅) and Shakyo(写経)

* Zazen is to practice Zen meditation sitting cross legs.
* Shakyo is to write the sutras.

I’ve been interested in Shukubou for ages but I felt a little uneasy about
traveling alone. However, no one wants to go…..
I think it’s nice only to watch a garden and eat vegetarian cooking in a temple…
After lunch, I visited an exhibition of Serge Lutens in Ginza.
I’ve known of him since I was around twenty. I saw his work for the first time
when he was an image creator for Christian Dior’s cosmetics
His commercial films for Shiseido were very well known in Japan.
It was a very mysterious exhibition.

I was left in the dark with his works

and I had forgotten the time and the place...

I would like to go there once more!
