A Very Large Souvenir

Once upon a time, a writer and his wife loved Kyoto so much that they bought a very large souvenir; a house.

No, that’s Tofukuji Temple, we’re in a modest 120-year-old machiya, which is the name for a traditional Kyoto townhouse.  It is very small, but comfortable—except in winter when it’s frickin’ cold.

Slowly, our house is coming into shape. Especially with the addition of this traditional inuyarai.
