An April day in Zōshigaya


Kodomo no hi 子供の日 (Children's Day) is celebrated on the fifth of May, but the carp-shaped windsocks (鯉幟 koinobori) were already hanging in the wind in April.



A Buddha statue with a hishaku 柄杓 (ladle) and some flower offerings near the Hōmyō-ji 法明寺. I am not sure what the purpose of the hishaku is in this particular instance, but I have seen other similar statues were visitors were expected to poor some water on the statue before praying.



A small hokora in a residential area.
