Wonderful Oriental Wednesday!

Banner

Welcome to Wonderful Oriental Wednesday (WOW)!  This week we’re waxing oriental with Asian beauty and culture as our theme.

Recommended style is the Haiku, a Japanese format of three lines of 5-7-5 syllables used primarily for nature topics.  When used for subjects involving people the same format is called the Senryu.

Here are some pics, quotes and Haikus to inspire you!

Please also to read and comment on the other posts, and to bring a friend to share our modest blog challenge!

Also, if this blog pleases you, click on the heart at the top to indicate your feeling.-Bob/Scotorum

    Welcome everyone to Wonderful Oriental Wednesday celebrating the beauty and culture of the Asian continent! Try an Haiku – or two – or a Senryu! They’re short and sweet! Thanks again to Piper Ellie for this theme and all the images in the introduction above!

    This beautiful Buddhist temple is a replica of the 900-year-old Byodo-In located in Uji, Japan. It is located in one of the most peaceful locations in O’ahu – the Valley of the Temples.The valley is situated against a back-drop of tall cliffs and is landscaped with traditional lush Japanese gardens and koi ponds. Inside the Byodo-In Temple is a nine-foot Lotus Buddha. Outside is a three-ton, brass Peace Bell.

    What a beautiful way to begin my day. Gorgeous blog, theme and challenge! Such beautiful pieces posted. The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library has been closed for renovation for a year and just recently reopened in celebration of its 100th year.
