The Philosopher’s Path in Kyoto. The famous Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitaro would walk this path and meditate as he headed to work. The locals have preserved the area to keep its authentic historical aesthetic.
While walking along this path I came across a local man constructing small boats out of leaves, grasses, and flowers. He gave one to me and said that if I could drop it into the river without it sinking I would feel a weight lifted off my spirit.
The boat didn’t sink, so that’s a relief.
