One advantage of paying my respects at Shirahata Hachiman Daijin every day is that I do not miss the days when the cherry blossoms are at their best. Here are some photographs.
Unfortunately, we also had some very rainy days, so the snake is looking a bit sad.
I have a Patreon, where people join as paid members to receive an in-depth essay on some aspect of Shinto every month, or as free members to receive notifications of updates to this blog. If that sounds interesting to you, please take a look.
