Wow, fascinating topic! Thank you for the images, too. I liked the comment about Ise; so many “ancient” structures in Japan have been rebuilt regularly. I can’t do Ise this time, I think it’s a little too out of the way this time, but we’ll see. You always write such fascinating essays!
I’m on my way there right now! I’ll be in Japan until mid-April. So many wrinkles to this trip, I’m not alone this time LOL. I’m glad, it’s nice to let other people decide what to do/see/eat every day. But my novel is shaping part of the trip! Going to spend some time in Izu! But I’m becoming obsessed with both Shikoku and Wakayama, and I’d really like to go to both Ise and Izumo Taisha! I don’t have enough time in my life to do everything I want to do…
Wonderful
❤️

When are you going? I have never been to Ise!
