Myorenji Temple in the Nishijin section of Kyoto has been on this site for over 650 years. Every day the monks conduct the morning ceremony with the beating of the drum and chanting.

Often time the monks are alone but today we are there with our camera, recording the sound and then adding the images of Kyoto as a counterpoint to the deep beat of the wooden drum.
