From New Year's visit to Honmon-ji shrine

[David Paterson]

Akemashita, omodeto gozaimasu!

Nice series, Akira, and as usual you make me homesick for Tokyo and Japan.

[Ron Scubadiver]

Nice.  I prefer photos of shrines and churches with worship going on.  These places are not just buildings, they are alive with people.

Armando, I'm always interested in different cultures and thought it was worthwhile.  I don't have any in-depth knowledge about the classical VW, but was attracted to its wheels, flat front window and the overall look.

Well I'm wrong about the blinkers, the 1955 model had the blinkers in that position

Ouch! Having just been diagnosed with spondyloarthritis in my neck, turning my head very far means pain. I just started a 2 week trial of an anti-inflammatory  drug to combat that pain, and your photo made me wince! 

Carl, hope your pain will be eased.

Thank you for posting Akira!
I miss Japan a lot.
I wish you all the best.

Thanks, Aguinaldo!  Glad you have good memories about Japan.

Dave, kotoshimo yoroshiku onegai shimasu.  Hope to see you in Japan again!

Nice.  I prefer photos of shrines and churches with worship going on.  These places are not just buildings, they are alive with people.

Ron, thanks.  Glad there are some images you like.  I agree with your comment on the religious institutions of any kind.

Armando, right or wrong, I'm sure that the owner of the VW will enjoy chatting with you.
