Every year in March, just before cherry-blossom season, the Higashiyama area of Kyoto has a light<\/span>-up\nevent. I first<\/span> blogged about it nine years ago<\/a>, and\nagain three years ago<\/a>. This year I took<\/span> a lazy<\/span> stroll with some friends and a tripod,<\/span> snapping some photos along the\nway.<\/p>\n\n
