Hello Koyama-san.
I have one thing to say about rhis photo: STEEP!
I like your choice of location for this photo, the way the lighting makes for a well light flight of strairs and shrouded forest and vegetation around gives a very old imagery, shrouded in unknown history.
Good size comparison as well, by adding the person in this photo is gives a more direct knowlege on how big and how steep these stairs really are.
I see these kind of stairs around in all countries, the reasons for them being so steep has always baffled me, but it is good to see that the design is the same all over the world.
I am no expert on Japanese history, but might you note refer to the three attemts that the Mongols made to Invade Japan?
