James and I went on a little day trip to Fukushima. He had mentioned this nice shrine there forever ago (maybe my first year) but we had never got our act together. It was a beautiful fall day and a beautiful shrine.
The shrine was covered in beautiful woodwork carving- this is the native dragon elephant!
Inside it also had many interesting older paintings. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese traditional style but I enjoyed these paintings and they livened up the dark interior.
The shrine is on the bank of a river and affords a stunning view.
This the mascot of Fukushima and if you can believe it, is a cow. Not only is it a black and red cow but it is a bobble head black and red cow. The first thing I though of was the bright red Swedish horses though I think it looks more like a pig.
