Coming home by a detour route from football on Sunday morning, we ended up finding a totem pole, an antiques market, a stunning temple, a memorial in stone to sumo's yokuzuna (grand champions), two temples to the poet Basho, a turtle and carp-filled pond in a beautiful Japanese garden, and the last of the cherry blossoms—yaezakura, which is literally translated as "double flowered cherry blossoms."
Just another street in this amazing city.
