Addendum...

I forgot to add to the Festivals post that after the Plum Blossom Festival, my self-proclaimed [super silly] Japanese mother took us to a shrine called “Opai No Kami Sama”…it’s dedicated to The Girls…no I’m not talking about female children!!! I mean “The Girls!” People make…ehem…”Girls” and bring them here to be put on the board. There are shrines for everything here! If you don’t believe me look them up on the Internet…Go ahead Google any words that made you giggle as a kid and you’ll find a shrine for it in Japan! HAHAHAHA!
