WELL THAT’S IT FOR ASAKUSA SHRINE PICTURES, got a few miscellaneous pictures left of the surrounding area, the tourist market and some pigeons and stuff, but that’s for tomorrow!

Inside the huge main temple.

clap clap bow

This was an especially awesome purifying station.

More purifying stations.

These dudes had it down.

This big ol thing was directly in front of the MASSIVE main temple (which was unfortunately under construction while I was there, so I couldn’t get any pictures of the outside :’I)

There was a whole lotta incense in there, and you were supposed to waft yourself with the smoke

As far as I know, the correct procedure is

throw a coin

clap twice

bow

These are little prayer plaques that we will be seeing A WHOLE LOT MORE OF when I start posting pictures from the Meiji Shrine.

They all have nice prayers and cute pictures written/drawn on them.

Hello Buddha.

Bibs are very fashionable.

I want these all over my yard.
