Worship in the darkness!


by Kazu

Basically, we should have done the worship until around two o'clock in the afternoon. Most of Japanese people do that.But during the season of cherry blossoms, the visitors to the shrine tend to worship in front of the closed gate of the shrine as if they ask for the permission to enter the premises to see the cherry blossoms.  
The cherry blossoms started to turn its color with the blue color of the sky and darkness. But the visitors were still savoring the aroma and beautiful colors of the cherry blossoms as well as the backdrop of  dark green and brown of spruces.
Near the west gate of the shrine, we found a corridor of Magnolia Kobus and cherry blossoms. The pale colors were like what we see in the dream. The weak sunshine from the backside of the mountains gave so nice effect to the scenery.
