2018/1/11 Changing color of Japanese shrine

 神田神社/Kanda Jinja is a Shinto shrine located in Tokyo, near Akihabara.2

The shrine dates back about 1,270 years and officially worships 3 deities.

During the new year's day, many people visit the shrine for praying their wishes for the year. Als,o the shrine has been said that you would receive good luck for business and relationships.

However, positively, the shrine's color nowadays has been changed by visitors who are influencedbyh by a famous Japanese Anime "LOVE LIVE!".

Takano Ema(絵馬/wooden votive tablet) for example, many of them write their prayers with lovely nice pictures.

I love these Ema pictures. I'm sure these subcultures would create Japan more attractive for the  2020 Tokyo Olympics(^O^)
