Description
More from the Emperor's residence in Kyoto, Japan. Of note, the design you see on the end of the roof tiles are chrysanthemums, which are the flower and seal of the Emperor of Japan. I commented in an earlier picture about the simple beauty of many things in Japan, especially the old architecture, so I won't elaborate too much here.
The Emperor of Japan is still the figurehead of the government, but he has no real power. In a way, he is sort of like the Queen of England in that he makes no policy but can serve as a representative of the country. And hey, he gets a very nice vacation residence in Kyoto to boot...
