Hello sensible,

We should not carry water for stupid people. If they insist on building walls around themselves, then they have to accept the consequences. The consequence is being dissociated from the rest of the world and that will cause you to go out of business.

This is completely in line with the Japanese concept of responsibility (sekinin 責任). Accepting the consequences of your own actions is mature and adult.

My statement doesn’t have anything to do with the photo policy, that is just a symptom of a much larger problem in Kyoto.

You can’t take photos at a museum, so you conclude that Japanese traditional crafts deserves to be lost? Wow, overreact much?

I was hoping to find some useful information on this place, but all that’s here is some noise about their photo policy. Thanks.

I went to something similar near Nijo castle, they were showing their shibori crafts, I was bummed that I couldn’t take a photo of it to post on my blog, I wasn’t using a flash nor trying to make money off of it, but trying to spread a little culture.
