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 subscribe to receive in-depth essays on various aspects of Shinto, about once per month. If that sounds interesting to you, please take a look.
