something fishy

The particular sect of Buddhism that was historically practiced in Kanazawa was fascinated with the 6 aesthetic virtues. Their values were so strong that the Togugawa general fell in love with it and allowed a kind of self rule, instead of enforcing the Edo government's law. Still to this day you will see art all over the city.

Two weeks a year there are special art weeks in Kanazawa. In these weeks artist take to the city and set up fantastic installations everywhere. The big ones are well known locations, but more likely you will just be walking around and discover them.

While walking home, I saw these fish swimming in the canal.
One fish! Two fish!

Red fish! Blue fish!
