Tochoji’s Buddharupas (Fukuoka, Japan)

The sign at my feet as I took today’s photo said, in English, “Do Not Enter. Buddhists Only.”, as if the ability to read English automatically makes a person not a Buddhist.

Something from six years ago in Fukuoka today…

Today’s photo comes from the Sadaharu Oh Baseball Museum inside the Fukuoka Dome. This display is of a Japanese home in the late 1970s. It reminds me of many homes I visited in Japan in the 1980s.
