Dragon

This fountain was just too sweet. I couldn't stop taking pictures of it! This was in Kyoto at at Honganji temple. The largest wooden structure is the main hall here, though it was under construction and you couldn't go on. This fountain is one where you cleanse yourself with spring water before entering the temple. This has to be my favorite of all the little fountains. The dragon looked so cool, no matter what angle you look at him from!




Above and below you will see another nice dragon fountain. This one was in Nara. While must smaller it serves the same function. Here you can see the ladles that you get the spring water with.
