Osaka people visit this shrine as soon after New Year as possible, as touching, or rubbing it is meant to bring you prosperity for the coming year.

What a fun photo. Don't suppose you can just buy one of those and sit it at the bedside and touch him every morning could ya? ;o) (just teasing but, if it helped...)

Excellent take. Money makes the world go...........? Do the little pieces of paper relate to this as well? Certain birds and other non human animals have been known to steal nests and other things. I wonder if they have any trade agreements and hope for better days to come? ;-)
A fine photo here Ray.

You can almost feel the hnds soaking in the energy. Good light and color throughout. Very nicely done, Ray!
