In the covered area between JR Kyobashi and Keihan Stations, a priest begged for alms.
Unlike Kyoto, where such a scene is common, in Osaka one rarely sees priests out and about.
This young man was stone still, hands clasped, as commuters on bikes and foot rushed past him.
Back in Kyoto, the priests from Myoshinji wander the neighborhood, once a month or so. chanting powerfully to announce their arrival.
This priest was completely silent. Few donated.
