Holy snails in Miyajima
Torii of Miyajima
Well and this is opposite the great holi Torii of Miyajima at low tide. You can walk there, touch the torii or just play in the mud as these kids did after being fed up with "holy,holy". They were into something more solid like real living little snails.
As you can see from the face of this little girl, they were having a lot of fun on the holy compound.

Back to Ethno
After a little trip into the world of snow and mountains I am back here at my travel photos from around far away.
When in Kyoto last year we visited many shrines and on a fine Sunday we saw this beautiful young lady who posed for us like they very often do but afterwards I took this secret shot.
kiyomizu no butai kara tobioriru
清水の舞台から飛び降りる, this means to make a decision. There are 18 lovestones in this compound. It is said that those who find the way with closed eyes will make this decision.
I hope this young lady found her love.

NipponSweat - bottled sweat made in Japan
If your armpits don't produce enough sweat you can buy some here from a machine. .... this is to make sure to get a seat in the crowded trains in Japan without ruining your clothes .....
This was seen in the main train station in Beppu, Japan, a town known for their onsen their public baths were they bathe in hot, very hot mineral water. And of course they sweat a lot there - so they collect the sweat
and sell it right away ... as is seen in this picture. Who wouldn't like to get a seat in thes nice trains ....To those of you in doubt: NO, this is NOT true!!! It is a joke. Of course the Japanese do NOT drink sweat. This is just a brand !!!!!!!!!
