Another glorious sunny day.
There is an exhibition at the Kyoto Museum about Japanese art throughout its history. Interesting to see that the style took influence from China and Asia before the western techniques arrived.
It also showed how Buddhism made a huge impact in developing this unique style. There were statues of Buddha and influential monks. One shows the monk opening up his chest to review Buddha within.
From there we headed to Uji, known for sencha and matcha tea. There is a museum showing how the tea is made, with the old machines on display.
We had a look around the tea shops in the area before heading back to Kyoto for dinner. I found a Japanese curry house tucked down a small alleyway, while Pete and Ellina went for Kobe beef.
Afterwards we met up for drinks at a couple bars before heading back to the hotel.
