Japan is beautiful. It is the bright blue skies that compete against the majestic mountains. It is the smooth flowing rivers that trickle over the perfectly rounded rocks. It is the swaying of bamboo trees as crows that shine violet fly through ephemeral openings. This is Japan.

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord from the heavens;
    praise him in the heights above.

Praise him, all his angels;
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you highest heavens
    and you waters above the skies.

Let them praise the name of the Lord

       for at his command they were created,

and he established them for ever and ever—               Psalm 148:1-6
