New Year's visit to a shrine

2006-01-03 | shrine and temple

This is 'a turning over calendar at day' that I bought at a shop of the shrine.

I went to New Year's visit to a shrine yesterday afternoon.
There were great many people praying for a good luck, good health or well-being of the family of this year.

'Ta-ka-ma-tsu Sa-i-jyo I-na-ri'


They are burning incense and it is said  the smoke is also good for our health.


These are votive pictures called 'E-ma' in Japanese.
We write our wishes on the board, for example, passing prayer for entrance examination, marriage prayer or praying for sick recovery and so on.


This  is a  written fortune  I consulted and I was satisfied with the result. 
It says I will be
 the best  luck ; 'Da-i-ki-chi' this year.
I am looking forward to the coming of  good  lucks!
