Flowers in Tokyo(Part3)




This is Yabo Tenmangu Shrine.
谷保(Yabo)  天満宮(Tenmangu)      

天満宮 is a name of the kinds of the Shinto shrine.

The Shinto shrine is a holy place dedicated to Japanese God.(like church or Mosque)
This shrine is near my house,and I sometimes go for a walk there.











This is the main shrine of the Yabo Tenmangu.   Holy of holies.
I donate  a small amounts of money and pray to God for help.

God,
I want to become rich.
I want to be popular with women.
I want to eat a lot of delicious things.
I want to drink a lot of beer.
I do not want to work.
I want to spend the time in the bed all day long.
etc etc  etc…….

My wish does not yet come true.(T_T)
Will not donation be enough?











 And now Many beautiful hydrangeas bloom in the backside of the main shrine.

hydrangeas = あじさい=紫陽花 (a ji sa i)

Japan is the season of hydrangeas in june.























Beside the heap of hydrangeas, there is a pond, and a carp swims.





This duck doesn't move at all. 







The tortoise is in the pond, too.
The tortoise is in the Shinto shrine as a lucky creature living more than 10,000 years.

How would they confirm that a tortoise lived for 10,000 years ?
It is trade secrets of the Shinto shrine…















In June, much rain falls in Japan.
A lot of beautiful hydrangeas bloom at this time.


The dog seems not to be interested in the hydrangea that cannot be eaten. 
In addition, the hydrangea has poison. Therefore, the person cannot eat a hydrangea.
Is there a person who eats the hydrangea?



It was night when I noticed.
Let's go home......

I made two kinds of T-shirts.

Only a part of 50 states can be written. (^^;)
I noticed that It was hard work after i began to write them.(^_^;)
I am going to write the state name a little from now on….(How stupid I am)



卓爾治亜 means 'Georgia'.   卓爾= Geor   治亜 = gia
