My
favorite shrine is in Bunkyo Ward, near Denzuin, and is a fantastically chaotic-looking Inari shrine.
I went by again and noticed some things I hadn't noticed on my first visit: the foxes incorporated into the woodwork of the main hall...
...a thousand origami cranes hung up on the side of one of the outside altars...
...(the altar itself has maintained its artful disarray)...
...and the shed skin of a cicada on a stone fox's ear.
