Yeah, it does come pretty close to perfection. It is quite impactful in a deeper sense, while being amusing as well

Don't you worry. I love pictures. I love Japanese religion. More will come, I just try not to spam them and let others post in between XD

So disappointed that I never go to see this while I was in Japan. I planned a few trips there and they always fell through >_<. I did get to see Enoshima Island though, and that was amazing.

Great pics btw, all of them.

All of your pics are amazing... Including this one, the guy isn't even flinching from his meditation...

One thing that does pop into my mind, is is she wearing anything? She looks like she's flashing to anyone that happens to be behind her.

Tsk tsk. If he doesn't want her, I'll take her.

Shhhhhhh. He's concentrating hard and thinking, "which should it be, the witch or the one that rhymes with witch behind, Viker it is!"

Quan Yin, the Bodhisattva of compassion.

Ahhh Quan Yin! She is usually my deity of choice, very lovely artwork of her

I do love Guanyin too, I thought of having an image of her for my future altar.

I still have to decide what to do but I'm starting to have some ideas flow in.

I am no adherent of Shinto, but your offered pics remind me of my days of youth spent in Japan. I was much too young to either appreciate or even care about religion then, but I knew many that did, and all were most kind and generous to me.

Very nice, thank you.
