Unoki Otsuka Tomb 14-13 Yukiya Otsuka-cho, Ota-ku<br /><br />When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you are often surprised by the sacred places that have been protected by people.<br />Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.<br />Small shrines, shrines on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly under the highway.<br />Sacred places that are there for people in any form, and the guardians that protect them.<br />I made this video because I wanted to share these beautiful images.<br />Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.<br />There is a Japan that seems to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget the forgotten Japan.<br />The photographs are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.<br />Please feel the connection with people from the past.<br /><br />Sources<br />Photo owned by a teacher at Hirosaki Girls' School, 3 children, Meiji period, Aomori Prefecture, Prefectural History Compilation Materials<br />https://kenshi-archives.pref.aomori.lg.jp/il/meta_pub/G0000004pic_08881-23<br />Stone Buddha of Manji, Shimohara Nembutsu Ko, Taisho 15, Shimosuwa Town Library<br />https://d-commons.net/shimosuwa/?c=&p=558<br />'Japanese Commisioners'.ca. 1858 (made).
