Why is it that snow in Japan looks so darn meditative, poetic, and beautiful? I actually saw a couple of geishas pass by while sitting in a cafe in Kyoto. There was an aura to them, especially since I’d just read Memoir of a Geisha. Thanks for posting this.

apparently the snow on this particular photograph comes from carefully scratching the film. i wonder whether that contributes to the 3D effect of the image, which, i think, again contributes to the serene, peaceful feeling of it all.
