Here are a few (non-digital, scanned) photos I took of Hoboji Temple in Niiza, Saitama.
I home-stayed in Niiza (a suburb of Tokyo) for a while and had the the *rare* honor (for a gaijin) of ringing the Hoboji Temple Bell. Yes, I am the blurred soul in the pic below. (Alas. This is what inevitably happens when you hand your camera to a stranger when you wish to capture a key moment.) The resulting sound, of course, was greater than any visual depiction.
Forgive me for the quality of these pics, but I (and my friends) took these with a disposal camera purchased on locale.
