At Hie Shrine in Minami Ward, Yokohama, visitors are greeted by a guardian dog holding a bomb. I thought that the fact that they were not removed and left like this made the komainu valuable in understanding the national movement to raise war spirits and the atmosphere of the time.
When I go for a walk, I encounter surprises like this one. I thought that there are things in the scenery that we overlook, things that we don't even notice, that are a surprise.
