Oikeniwa garden in Imperial Palace, Kyoto (Japan)

The Kyōto Imperial Palace is the latest of the imperial palaces built at or near its site in the north-eastern part of the old capital on Heiankyō after the abandonment of the larger original Heian Palace (大内裏 daidairi) that was located to the west of the current palace during the Heian Period. The Palace lost much of its function at the time of the Meiji Restoration, when the capital functions were moved to Tōkyō in 1869. However, the Taishō and Shōwa Emperors still had their coronation ceremonies at Kyōto Gosho.Wikipedia

  • Like how it has a pseudo tilt-shift look because of the shallow DOF.
  • ah! At first I didn't even notice the pseudo tilt-shift effect... You're the second one pointing it out (the other was on twitter or FB I think).
  • Brings back fond memories for me. Used to explore these grounds and Japanese gardens across the country while living there more than 25 years ago.
    Would have loved to have the web for sharing at that time! Great photography.
  • This photo really pops!
