These are a pair of Komainu (the mythical) guard dogs (or lion-dog) watching Itsukushima Shrine, as I snapped over a year ago.
Every shrines in Japan have the pair of watch dogs, each of which is having different outlook. Generally they sit at the main gate of the shrine but this pair in Itsukushima sits in the middle of open-air connecting corridor facing the bay of Hiroshima.
Monochrome Madness is the community space she opens for other photographers and audiences who love monochrome / black and white photos. Here gives me a great opportunity and challengeus about monochrome images. As it is open community, everyone can participate.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I am a Japanese living in Sydney, Australia, and my hope is for bringing peace of mind in my life. Terrible at portraying myself (bad on selfies), but fair to be expressive with drawings and photography. Appreciate Yoga and joging / walking because they set me neutral. Another a bit of passion I recently set forth, is to do readings and healing using crystals and minerals, most of which have came at me little by little over time. A new category for quartz was added into my blog menu along with. It will be great if you enjoy. :-)
オーストラリア在住の日本人です。自己表現の一環としてブログを2017よりはじめました。パステル等の絵や写真を撮っているときが私の瞑想タイムなので、その時に手元に残った写真や絵をここに載せています。いくらでもボーっとしていられる性質なので、ヨガや軽いジョギングやウォーキングで自分をリセットしています。また最近では、長年少しずつ集まってきたクリスタルや鉱物を使って、リーディング（時にヒーリングも）をはじめました。それに併せて、ブログにも石のカテゴリーを最近追加したところです。よろしければ、覗いてみてください。:-)
