Toshogu Shrine, Ueno, Tokyo, May 2023
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

And always happy to meet up for a coffee if you want some travel inspiration, or travel practicalities 🙂

I like seeing the lanterns, and they kind of look like bird houses, too.

I love the perspective on this and the texture of the lanterns! I found myself wondering how it might look in monochrome?

Yes, I think that could work well. I’ll have to have a go.

They are very amazing indeed. Still functional?

Yes. Though they have never been just for light – they are for use during ceremonies

Oh yes, for me it somehow adds a feeling off homeliness, a sort of natural welcome

It was indeed. The weather could have been kinder and I could have done with more time there as the first week was a photography workshop that kept me very busy.

Yes, I needed longer to be honest. Tokyo is huge and there is so much to see and do.

They look old and weathered.

Yes, I believe they date back to 1627 when the original shrine was built (the current building is the 1651 version)
And I love the gentle and beautiful image you have shared
