Lucky Timing

Torii Gate, Japan
“The true vocation of man is to find his way to himself.”
– Hermann Hesse

Behind the scene:

In the spring of 2003 I visited Japan and our tour stopped here. We were so fortunate to have the chance to take pictures of this Torii Gate. It had been repainted and the covering was just removed the day before we arrived! No one could see it until then. What lucky timing!
