One little girl was celebrating her birthday and dressed to visit the shrine known for protecting children. It made me long to return for the Shichi-Go-San festival in mid-November when all of the living dolls surrounded me.

wandering at the Kishibo-Jin Shrine
A tip from Ravelry suggested I go to the Kishibo-Jin Shrine in the Ikebukuro-Zoshigaya area for an open air craft market. When I woke up, the weather made it clear there would be no market. I decided to visit the shrine anyway and walk through the neighborhood. I love seeing "new-to-me" areas on each trip to Tokyo by taking random little strolls and getting lost among their houses.

Wow, she looks so beautiful! She must be carrying quite a bit of fabric, there are so many layers there!
ReplyDeleteI have just booked us a trip to Paris via Japan. A few days in Osaka on the way over and a few in Tokyo on the way back. I am going to have to pick your brains for things to see over the next couple of months. I have been checking in on your adventures regularly even though I haven't been commenting much.
