The sun was working with me in this direction. No photoshop tricks on the color, I just lowered the brightness a bit. We really did have great weather.
Many Taisho-era buildings seem to be square in aspect ratio and have painted clapboard. But this one with the original owner's dentistry name on the gatepost is stone, instead.

The sign attached to the right-hand gatepost says "jingu dojo." The meaning of dojo can be a training facility for martial arts, but also for other forms of skilled exercise, such as "soba dojo" for mixing, kneading, cutting, cooking (and then eating) buckwheat noodles. Since this location says "jingu" it could be that the Ise shrine authority is the owner and directs its used, but that the subject of exercise is not archery or wrestling (judo), but instead it is about learning to prepare food offerings or how to dress in old-style clothing used during ceremonies, or possibly a place to recite the old-time form of prayers that are used both for public and private ceremonies.

Megacoelum infusum plant bug found dead on a gatepost at the edge of a block of broadleaf woodland at Low Ploughlands near Finglandrigg Wood, 3 October 17.
This adult was found by the same gate (shown in the background shot) as the Megacoelum infusum late-instar nymph photographed on 22 August! Whether it's the same individual is a matter of conjecture, but the only other adult I've found here previously was about 70m distant. The specimen was collected with the intention of taking some close-up shots at a later date.
Although this was a disappointing discovery, I did find another one later in the day in Finglandrigg Wood - and this one was alive!
