Healing Sights and Sounds of Japan 1 (HD)



Nature at it's best. Spiritual and zen-like sights and sounds. This video was recorded on a cold and snowy winter afternoon in Iwate prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Japan near Ishidoriya and Hanamaki.

July 29


Saw this amazing site today riding along in the bus from Tokyo to Karuizawa. Fortunately, I had my camera on the seat beside me and was able to grab a quick shot of this beautiful green valley.

I had been feeling really stressed for days before this trip. As soon as I saw this site and was able to get a photo, all of the tension and stress left my body. Amazing. It was such a simple thing that brought transformation. and it happened so quickly and effortlessly.

As I dig deeper into this "creative process" project, the more I find it's really the uncomplicated, effortless things that seem to create and/or bring me back to a state of "flow."

June 27

Started out today with a good work-out and a productive session on the trumpet.

Art/Photography
Went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography to see the "To the East - Travel and Photography in the 19th Century" exhibition. Saw some amazing photos.


Yebisu Beer Museum
An interesting way to finish off a trip to the Museum of Photography is with a little trip into the Yebisu Beer Museum. It's in the same complex as the Photography Museum. It's actually quite a good museum showing the history of beer-making in Japan. I noticed that most of the people didn't seem to want to look at the displays and video monitors showing the beer-making process. When I got to the end of the tour, I found out why. There is a nice size beer tasting room with "samples" for ¥300 and free munchies. Might have to stop in there a couple more times this summer.


Photography
Had my camera with me so while I relaxed in the big open spaces outside at Yebisu Garden Place, decided to try to get a few shots. There were tons of small children there and I realized how fun it can be to try and capture their unique moments.
