Work in Progress: The Alchemist

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

The Reclining Buddha at Nanzōin, which is the first stop in the 88 temple pilgrimage of Sasaguri & Shikoku. This is the largest bronze reclining Buddha in the world (August 2010)

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated "Pray freely" to "Pray it freely", which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)
