And a bunch from the tour of the Tokyo Imperial Palace grounds this morning.
A seventeenth century keep/watch-tower (from the roof of which one can see Mt Fuji).


Our guide, with loudhailer.

A sculpture representing a pine tree, outside the main palace complex.

A carefully sculpted tree.

Me, reflected in a palace window.

A lotus blossom in a moat (which is entirely choked with lotus).

No photos of the main palace complex because it was built in the '60s from reinforced concrete.
