The Meiji shrine in Tokyo is a popular spot for Shinto weddings - so popular in fact you can take a seat in the courtyard for an hour and see four or five wedding parties marching past :-)
We left a message on an "Ema" at a Shinto shrine in Kamakura. There were quite a few of them hanging up on boards all around the shrine, and every other Shinto shrine around.

The Inner Shrine (内宮, Naikū) is one of the two main shrines making up the Ise Shrines in Ise City. Formally known as Kotai Jingu, the Inner Shrine enshrines Shinto's most venerated deity, the Sun Goddess (Amaterasu Omikami), and is considered Japan's most sacred shrine.
The Inner Shrine is believed to have been established over 2000 years ago. Its main buildings resemble ancient rice granaries and are built in an architectural style that shows almost no influence from the Asian mainland because they predate the introduction of Buddhism. Both, the Inner and Outer Shrine, are rebuilt from scratch every 20 years according to an ancient Shinto tradition. The 62nd rebuilding was completed in 2013. The 63rd rebuilding will take place in 2033.

To infinity... and beyond! A lens test after an helicoid reset.

Some test shots after resetting the helicoid of the lens. I do love this Sankyo Koki Tokyo Komura- 105mm f2.8 and its rendering. Great light transition in the blur, sweet colors, human sharpness in the center, with those nice soft almonds in background. Two days ago I noticed that the metric scale on the barrel did not match with the distances, particularly the minimum focus - about 30-40 cm longer than the specs. Nothing tragic, but it just seemed weird. So I opened it up and saw to it. Regrettably a task that seemed easy (done on other copies) turned out more complicated than expected. On this model it showed that the lens had been serviced and fit (to what I do not know) a few times earlier (multiple screw holes un the inside-barrel). Long story made short: it took time to reassemble it; I had to move the focus stopper; the distance issue got solved, but... now the lens focus abundantly goes beyond infinity and closer than its factory minimum focus, but it still doesn't matches the metrics...! Grrrrrrr.... :-/
This is a precession of shinto priestesses off to be sacrified to the ponytail god. She must be an angry goddess today.

Traditional Japanese wedding customs (shinzen shiki) involve an elaborate ceremony held at a Shinto shrine.
Found this in an old family photograph album. Dating back to approx: 1933, it shows a Pilgrim on his/her walk to a Shinto Temple.Given it was probably taken with a box Brownie, it really would do justice to a modern DLSR camera.
Not only is DJ Rapa one of the best DJ's you will find in Second life, she is a terrific person. She has been sharing some of the basics of Shinto with me, so I made this.
