A person holding a black umbrella walks along a rain-soaked path beneath a large red torii gate, surrounded by green trees at Kirishima Jingu in Kagoshima, Japan.

A folk art shop by the #KirishimaJingu has a great display of traditional masks by the entrance. Under one of the masks was a list of poem llines by cultural figures about Kirishima. I should have got a better picture of the poetry because later I saw each of these lines displayed on wood along a forest walk.

Just over the border from #Miyazaki into #Kagoshima and here is #KirishimaJingu with a little restaurant with a nice collection of #Tanuki #RaccoonDog ceramic figures. They all seem to have both boobs and balls. Maybe they are ancient non-binary fertility spirits.
