Kamakura Meditations 2009 from Chris Wells on Vimeo.
Video clips and stills montage shot at Kotoku-In (高徳院) and Hasedera (長谷寺) Temples and Tsurugaoku Hachimangu (鶴岡八幡宮) Shrine, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan in March and October of 2008.
Kamakura is ancient Japanese city that was became the capital of Japan during the Kamakura Shogunate (1185 to 1333) founded by Minamoto Yoritomo following his defeat of the Fujiwara clan.
The city is the largest ancient cultural attraction within 50 kilometers of Tokyo (others include Nikko and Hakone) hosting millions of tourists a year. It is well worth a day trip from Tokyo if you are stopping over in Japan and while not as extensive in historic cultural attractions as Kyoto, Kamakura can often feel less "touristy".
