Island of Okinoshima

Yesterday, Mrs. M and I went to Takashimaya,
Nihonbashi store, 日本橋高島屋.

We enjoyed
the photographic exhibition
“Island of Okinoshima”
by Shinya Fujiwara 藤原新也.

On July 9, “Sacred Island of Okinoshima and
Associated Sites in the Munakata Region”
was inscribed on the World Heritage List.

The exhibition hall on the 8th floor was crowded
and all people there seemed to be overwhelmed
by something sacred.

The “Island of Okinoshima” itself is said to be
ご神体.

I am moved by 藤原新也’s photographs
which express how sacred “Island of Okinoshima” is.

It was a wonderful Saturday
for Mrs. M and me.
Thank you so much, Mrs. M.
