A large vermilion gate stands in the precincts of Nezu Shrine. It is a tower gate built in the mid-Edo period. Above the gate was a flat plaque with the name of the shrine written on it.
A young man was painting a picture when I came to the gate. He had an easel up and was painting the gate. He seemed to be just painting a detail.
According to the omens, the shrine was founded 1900 years ago; 1900 years ago, the historical division was still in the Yayoi period and no burial mounds had yet been built. Is it just me or does it seem a bit false?
