kamakura two



The woodwork here is truly amazing. The carvings under the eaves look like a complicated jenga tower to me.




Prayer cards, 700yen.




This prayer card is asking for good fortune in upcoming college test results (Ayumu).




My postcard to you, my readers. A massive 700-year old metal buddha, or daibutsu. He looks a little irritated from this angle. Maybe a 350-year old itch he hasn't been able to scratch?
