KUMONO SHRINE: BAA SAKURA

Kumano Shrine ~

baa sakura

lonely national treasure

no one strokes her hair

FIELD OF FLOWERS: Kumano Shrine

FIELD OF FLOWERS

All the brightness and color of youth now fades,

turns brown and withers away.

Autumn approaches quickly...too quickly.

So, I suppose, it is with all of us

KUMANO SHRINE: The first of a series

KUMANO SHRINE. (Based on a photograph by Aoi Tokugawa). 

No one comes here any longer. 

The shrine slowly weathers and crumbles into dust.

 Are we so advanced that we can forget the kami?
