You only live twice on a Roman holiday

I am sitting in my Roman hotel room full of pizza and fatigued from spending the day gawking at ancient ruins around the Colosseum. I have taken many photos of rocks and stones today, but those are for another post. This post is a revisit of Japan from my Roman perspective and here are some more visual discoveries I made during my stay in Tokyo and second visit to Osaka. From this distance there are more similarities between the east and west than I had thought.
