Sophie Vranian's photos from Japan

Photo Title: Momiji Season-
Description: This photo was taken at Eigen-ji, or Temple of Eternal Source, on Mt. Zuiseki in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The Japanese are crazy about the seasons, and in the fall when the maple leaves turn brilliant reds and yellows, people flock to the mountains, temples, and other spots to view the leaves.

Photo Title: A Head Above the Rest-
Description: This photo was taken during the Mikoshi matsuri, or festival near Ginkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Two students, Michael and Howard, are shown here returning to the main temple with the men’s group after carrying a heavy shrine around the city for 3 hours.
