Hello From The Land of the Rising Sun (and more importantly the land of the setting sun) Part 2

More pic from our first day.

Rickshaw ride the morning of our first day was great.


Visited the home of a local man. Very interesting.  I wonder how much he gets paid to let people roam through his house.

This is his courtyard.  Each side faces N/S/E/W.  Traditionally parents get North, brother gets east, sister gets west.

The number of beams on top and size of statues at the bottom of a house indicate the owner's social status.

Silk factory.
