Blick vom Bahnhof Takasaki in die Stadt. – View from the train station Takasaki towards town.
An der Stadt (im Winter) interessierte mich der Tempel des „blau-äugigen Barbars“ Bodhidharma und der Aufenthalt des bedeutenden deutschen Architekten Bruno Taut (1880-1938).
Bis zur Abfahrt des Busses zum Tempel war Zeit für eine Erkundung der nahen Umgebung. Etwa 300 Meter im Quadrat bewegte ich mich um die Bustation.
I was interested in the temple of the „blue-eyed barbar“ Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen Buddhism and the Schaolin fighting. And in the three years stay of the important German architect Bruno Taut (1880 – 1938).
Waiting for the bus I strolled around the neighborhood for about 300 m in square.
Here is what I detected – hier ist, was mir ins Auge stach:
living and sleeping place of a homeless – may be busy in shopping
tradition baked into concret
no good but god for feminin beauty
a gynecological clinic with a sticker: pray for Japan
A second part will follow with Bodhidharma and Bruno Taut – Bodhidharma and Bruno bTaut you will see in a following part.
