Grasscutters - before they even finished once they had to start again.

Bush meat (hunted and caught in local fields) is often sold by the side of the road. This photo was taken by one of our girls, coming back from fieldwork. It looks like grasscutter, which is considered a delicacy for its tender meat. After posing for a few pictures, this guy demanded money for the photo op. They refused and sped away.

This guy found an eight foot long snake while we were there and chopped it into pieces with a machete.

(these animals are called grasscutters)

Not a sight you expect to see in a quiet avenue in East Belfast. A tractor parked up at our neighbour's house!

 

In other news, I took a wee run into town this evening to get a fancy burger from the Continental Market before it leaves Belfast, but the burger stall had stopped serving by 5.20pm even though the Market is open until 8pm! Very disappointing!

I had a few areas that it was hard to get to with my power lawn mower and to maneuver around corners and rose bushes, etc.; so I purchased this manual push mower. I had not used one of these in probably 40 years - it was actually a lot of fun and easy to use in tight areas.

This grass cutter was hunted in the wild as bush meat.

Here, Adu has just taken him from the freezer and is preparing him for dinner.

Later that day the boys proudly display a "grasscutter" which looks like a huge hairy rat. Luckily... we'd already decided to stop eating by this point, despite the fact we were assured it tasted "just like chicken!"

We traveled by road from Accra to Axim. The "bushmeat" was plentiful. By far the most common offering was "grasscutter," considered by most West Africans to be a great delicacy (Wikipedia calls it Greater Cane Rat). It can often be purchased smoked, as in the picture above.

Atsuta Shrine is one of the most important and sacred shrines in Japan, and is the site where Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the "Grasscutter Sword", one of the Three Imperial Treasures, is supposedly held.

 

This very plain wooden torii, in a particularly old, basic style is something of an indication of the importance of the shrine. Though extremely plain and basic in design, conversely, this reflects the age of the shrine, or at least its connection to the earliest ages of Shinto tradition. Ise Shrine, the top shrine in the country, is said to have been first established around the first or second century CE.... Torii and other architectural design elements only grew more elaborate since then.

 

I might have had a vague idea that Atsuta was located in this part of the country - or perhaps I had forgotten - but I never imagined it was in Nagoya City proper and was so accessible, so many of the most sacred shrines (e.g. Ise Shrine especially) being so far out in the boonies.

 

Yet, when I asked at the tourist information booth (yes, I'm that lame) at Nagoya Castle about other cultural historical places to visit in the city, they suggested here, and I am very glad for it.

 

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Man from Estates on a ride-on grass cutter. Shutter speed on my phone camera not fast enough for his sheer velocity. I need to take a proper camera around with me.

Massive dragon snake defeated by Yamato Takeru, who pulled the Kusanagi (Grasscutter) out of it. I think.

 

Apparently, this is a prominent part of festivals in certain regions. I just saw (Feb 4 2015) a Kodô show incorporating such dragons - with one person in the center holding the head, and manipulating the rest simply by turning, to coil and uncoil the body.

"Thank goodness for shade, what are the others thinking ... ..."
