Postcard from Japan!

Today I got a nice postcard from Japan! The postcard shows a great view of Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto.  It is located in eastern Kyoto and is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an independent Buddhist temple that was originally founded in 798. Its current structure was made in the 17th century and is unique because no nails were used in its construction. Its name translates to "clear water." The card was sent by my dad who was on vacation in Japan. Thanks Dad!
