This photograph is part of a collection from a recent Evisu photo shoot in Kyoto, Japan. It was taken at the Toji temple, one of the two guardian temples protecting both sides of Rajo-mon (Rajo gate). The massive structure was constructed in 794 when Emperor Danmu renamed the capital of Japan to Kyoto. It is well known that during the construction the Prist Kukai (Koho-taishi) used this place as a school at which to teach Singon-shu tartaric Buddhism. Therefore, the religious name of this temple bacame “Kyo-oh Kokoku-ji”. The models are sipping green tea, a popular past-time in Japan.
