Oideyasu! Please take off your shoes.
Again, taken Saturday on my whirlwind Kyoto tour. It was the first time I had been there since 1996 with my Mom. click the image for 800 X 600 dektop background and marvel to yourself, "It looks just like the postcards!" Kinkakuji was built in 1397, but it was completely burned in 1950 by an obsessed monk, and this one dates from 1955.
Nice kabegami for me to use - thanks!

I am currently taking a course on Japanese Manga and Anime at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
I have a task to write a book report on a personally selected Japanese book. I have choosen Yukio Mishima's novel "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion". In a recent book by Paul Gravett called "Manga - Sixty Years of Japanese Comics" he mentions that Mishima was very interested in the the historical manga books that were around in the 1960s. However, I am trying to find out if any of the Mishima novels, in particular "The Temple of Golden Pavilion", has been published in manga or anime format, be it in Japanese or English translation. Or, maybe there are some other manga or anime about the Golden Pavilion which is not based directly on Mishima's novel? I have a vague memory of having seen something like this during an earlier visit to Japan.
Thankful for any information or pointers on this subject.

I'm not interested in anime or manga, so I can't help you with that, sorry.
