A Vision of Beauty

This picture was taken outside the temple by the castle. I think the girl is a Shinto nun, but dont trust me on this because my knowledge of All Things Japanese is appalling, even though Im living here. It sounds strange saying that out loud, but I guess I am. She was so beautiful and poised, with the shiniest hair I've seen outside a L'Oreal commercial. I love the contrast between the dazzling white and the blood red of her robe, and her composer as she sits facing the worshippers.
