Timeless

A magnificent gingko tree stands at the top of a shrine in the Sekiguchi area of Bunko Ward. The shrine is believed to have been built in the Edo era to commemorate a water god. (The Kanda River, a major river, flows nearby.)

Shadows of the shide (paper streamers) hanging from the gate.

There must have been a ceremony of some sort on that day.

This photo could have been taken in 1960, or 2010.
