Kyoto is one of the world's most historical and beautiful cities. As Japan's capital city for nearly one thousand years, Kyoto is rich in all sorts of cultural ways. In "Daydreaming in Kyoto", one perfect day is detailed in this magical city through evocative and provocative haiku and photographs. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a haiku may be worth a thousand pictures. The possibilities are endless.

Human beings are a storytelling species and the primary way we tell stories and convey culture is with words. Besides being the building blocks of thought, communication, and civilization, words can be fun, intriguing, informative, and so much more. They can teach us about language, linguistics, culture, history, emotions, people, places, concepts - and ourselves. When we have a word for something, we can better understand, think, feel, and express that something, thus revealing that reality to ourselves and others. Words are windows to the world, whether real or imagined, and there are an infinite number of windows.
