Keep em coming Terry.

My misso and I were going through these last night and in regards to the Temples then and now there are only very subtle differences to then and now.

New paving/paths a coat of paint and the tent stalls at Asakusa are now permanent fixtures and where the homeless go to sleep at night.

When you look at the difference in time from then to now in comparison to the hundreds of years those temples have been around , 30 odd years is just a blink of an eye.
