  1. Got annoyed by other apps I used for posting my photographs and artworks, so I'll finally give Mastodon a try :)

    This photo was taken by me in Osaka, Japan - the Shitennōji to be exact (one of Japan's oldest temples).
    More photos of this Japan trip will soon follow!

  2. It may seem strange that such a relatively small shrine rivaled the famed Fushimi Inari for gates, but it should be remembered that gates as votive offerings only appeared in significant numbers at Fushimi after 1804 (at which time Takenaka-jinja was already in decline).

  4. Keyring, made from scratch, to replace a previous keyring that all the paint chipped off.

    To prevent paint chipping from this one, I embedded the only paint in an insert that is covered with clear plastic. the outside is plain MDF and some milliput to fix the ring in a slot.

    I chose a Torii gate for the subject as they are described as "the transition from the mundane to the sacred", so what better for a keyring that carries keys to open the way...

  5. ⛩️👻Hasshaku-sama was originally contained by blessed jizo statues. But as things will, one eventually broke and she escaped. No one knows where. But I will tell you. I came to the US. No one here believes in youkai and very few people have heard of me. We are having fun!

  6. Hasshaku-sama: The eight-foot lady youkai. Noted for her man hunger. She always gets her man. At least that was how the original story went. Later films and stories revealed she was not opposed to the diet of an occasional female.

  7. Made a trip to the Torii Gate om Seward Park to do this years Hasshaku-sama cosplay.

    Approaching the gate (left) and then entering our reality (right).

    Someday I will write the story of how I got from Japan to Seattle.

  8. During the pandemic I decided to build a #toriigate - a traditional bit of #Japanese #Shinto architecture. Here’s a video about how I did it.
