Yatagarasu - 八咫烏

Mythical three-legged crow known as a Shinto guide-god. It is said to have guided the emperor Jinmu during his eastern expedition.

 

Nowadays, it is considered a divine intervention in the mortal world. It was even chosen as the symbol of the Japanese soccer team !

 

This bird, although it was staring at me with a strange insistence, seemed quite normal. I guess the Gods had nothing for me that day... Except maybe this nice shot.
