Futarasan
My random, desktop image of the day reminds me that six years and two months ago I had an incredible day in snowy Nikko.

torii tunnel of love (Inuyama, Japan)
At the end of this series of torii are hundreds of heart-shaped ema. You can see them a bit better in my photo from last year’s Valentine’s Day (バレンタインデー) post.
I’m hoping for some 本命チョコ but not counting on it this year (or any year). 😉
Shrinking areas of Japanese shrines
Kushida Jinja (Fukuoka, Japan) cement torii blocks from central shrine
The acreage under many of Japan’s Shinto shrines has decreased over the years. The torii gate in today’s photo welcomes you to Kushida Jinja, yet you have to walk a while to get from this gate to the modern shrine grounds these days. Does the shrine still own all of the land between its historic perimeter and its current location? I don’t know.
