fig 7.0: Kenroku'en garden. It's one of Japan's three most beautiful gardens. This lantern is the symbol of Kanazawa. 
fig 7.1: Ishikawa-mon, the original gate to Kanazawa Castle. 
fig 7.2: Higashi Chaya, the western tea-house district. This is still where most of Kanazawa's Geisha live and work. It's touristy during the day, but at night time, you can hear the sounds of koto and shamisen floating on the wind.

The boy lottering was once pursueing a number of women and I said to him 'Focus Graeme, the eagle the chases to rabbits catches neither.' He thought for a moment before replying 'The eagle that chases two rabbits has a feast! What about that?' What about that, indeed.
well well well....touché!
What's koto and shamisen? I like shamisen, sounds like a character out of an RPG.
koto is a stringed instrument that lies flat on the ground. Like a keyboard without keys — just strings.
Shamisen is a lute. Like a 3-stringed guitar, and it's special ability is to do a magic attack that damages the enemy and heals your party.
