Cute Temple


Talk about taking our time...^^,
So on the 8th of October we decided to go ahead and finish our health insurance, only to end up not being able to finish it.... since the 8th was some kind of an national holiday, and even though I, Lea, had known beforehand I COMPLETELY forgot about it! :<



But, we needed to do some homework, so we went searching for a library and on the way we found a really cute temple, and a Totoro shaped tree^^
We saw some other cute stuff on the way, but didn't take pictures of it all>.<

Just how cute is this!!!? Found this at a elementary school^^


Here below are then some pictures from the temple, we do not know what purpose this temple serves, but judging from the weird looks we got when we got out, our guess is that it is for something strabge :P That or just the fact that we are foreigners....xD



These pictures really make us miss summer, though we do not miss the humidity from it, but everything was so beautiful in the summer<3
Now it is just cold</3
But we hope you found this as beautiful as we found it and enjoyed seeing these pictures :0

Thanks for looking!^^

    in case you are wondering, what the statue on the second picture is. the one of the monk with the staff. It's a Jizō Statue. Jizō is a Bodhisattva (someone who is lighted, but stays to teach Buddhism). He guides the soules to the nether world and in the japansese mythologie he helps children to cross the river in the nether world (that's why you mostly see the statue wear some bibs of died children) :3

    It was really beautiful, and it was awesome finding it there while just walking around! :3

    oooh~ thank you! We have learned a bit about them in class, but nothing close to being able to tell them apart, so thank you for telling us :)
    But I guess that means we kind of get an answer to why we got strange stares when coming out of there, maybe people thought either of us had lost a baby...:( well, you never know though^^

    Thanks for the comments! :3
