Flailed a bit on the Kintetsu lines, got to Nara. Went and saw the post marking the remains of Tamon Castle. Said castle was important because it incorporated many advances in castle building technology (a certain type of common wall structure is called "Tamon-tsukuri" after this castle), and because Toudai-ji's Daibutsu-den was burned because Matsunaga Hisahide didn't want any other buildings near his castle. Bastard.
Got wet. It rained a lot.
Walked past deer in Nara Park. Went to Koufuku-ji, saw some really old, nifty statues. Went to pilgrimage temple near-by, acquired special Saigoku 33 Kanon pilgrimage book. Cursed that we didn't have it yesterday so we could avoid doing the two hour climb to Kami-Daigo again. Got it signed. Went home.
Was going to go out to Teramachi to pick up Teppei book for
Freezing and damp. Must go collapse now.
