I agree, it is often on the way to or from a place that we see something really interesting. Fudo Myo temples are sometimes grand, like Narita-san or Kawasaki-Daishi near Tokyo. There are some small mountainous huts where Fudo Myo dwells and keeps an eye on the local community. What you found must be such a little sacred place.

Hi Linda, In Shinto, purple cloth, or items dyed purple, can symbolize nobility, strength, or wisdom, and is often associated with high-ranking priests. Historically, purple was a difficult and expensive color to produce, leading to its association with royalty and high-ranking officials.

Fascinating to see that the rice is mechanically planted in the water.
ReplyDeleteI"'m curious to find out the significance of the purple color in that shrine cloth?
