Japan: Kiyomizu

This travel footage by Mort and Millie Goldsholl documents their trip to Japan around 1964, when they visited Kiyomizu, a Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. At Kiyomizu, the Goldsholls filmed the other tourists and pilgrims around them, including schoolchildren in their uniforms, the architecture, and the view from the top of the mountain. The footage ends with views of a town and crowded buses taken from a moving car. Other titles in the Goldsholl collection at the Chicago Film Archives were taken during that same trip, including Hiroshima (at the “Atomic Bomb Dome”) and Japan: Osaka.
