Photos of the Week: Best of Japan

Photos of the Week: Best of Japan (Preview)

While in Japan, Shen Yun’s New York Company members went all out not only on stage but with their cameras. We decided these photos warranted their own special collection.

This year, Shen Yun performed in Nagoya, Kyoto, and Tokyo. (Photo by dancer Kenji Kobayashi)

Moments of calm amidst a busy performance schedule, which included, for the first times, shows in Kyoto. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)

One last photo of Kyoto’s Kinkaku-ji Temple, built following principles of Tang Dynasty architecture. (Photo by Kenji Kobayashi)

And what photo collection from Japan would be complete without glamorous shots of Mt. Fuji, pictured here at dawn. (Photo by dancer Felix Sun)

The beautiful scenery and temples surrounding Mt. Fuji inspire serenity and self-examination. Our dancer Alex Chun took the opportunity for a tranquil meditation with the great Sacred Mountain as a perfect background.
