Award-winning ecologist, writer, photographer, and Writers in Kyoto member Jann Williams was a contributor to Structures in Kyoto (WiK Anthology 4) but unable to attend our virtual book launch on August 22nd. Having missed that opportunity to introduce her essay “Beyond Zen – Kyoto’s Gorinto Connections” about the essence and evolution of the five-ring pagoda, she has created the short video below. In addition to attaining your copy of the anthology to read more, Jann’s intriguing explorations of the elements in Japanese culture can be found on her blog Elemental Japan.
