"The Rabbit Invasion" Photo By Torre Johnson, Oberlin College, Europe in Transition Program235 viewsWhile I was in Germany I had the opportunity to see the carnival known as Fasching. The carnival consisted of a parade with some of the most imaginative costumes I have ever seen. There were many groups of people all wearing very elaborately carved masks and wonderful costumes. The themes ranged from the rabbits pictured here to costumes celebrating the World Cup in Germany and even to pink Native American costumes. They would run up to the adults, rub confetti in their hair and throw candy to the children. The whole experience was fully surreal and truly incredible.

"Meditation" Photo By Emily Schlickman, Washington University in St. Louis, Japan Program119 viewsPhoto Location: Koshoji Temple, Kyoto
This is a photo of Jaime Honkawa during a morning session of
meditation in the "zendo" of our home temple. Every morning we would wake
up at 4:30 and would sit for 40 minutes. Initially, it was completely
dark in the zendo but as the sun would come up, light would begin
filtering in through the "shoji" screens. This picture captures this
moment.

This is a photo of Ermine Algaier performing a purification
ritual underneath a waterfall in Tenkawa Village during the month of
November. This is one of the first rituals performed by "Shugendo"
practitioners--mountain ascetics--before entering the mountains. It

practice.
