Before new year days,silence is all aroud there. Taisyakuten,a temple is very popular point in Tokyo down town.(http://www.taishakuten.or.jp/index2.html)
Because the era is the stage of otokohatsuraiyo,the popular movie series in Japan.
And a lot of people come to pray in new year days.
The street in front of the temple,Daruma,Manekineko,Pepper,suveneer,eel-restautanrs…many shops stand side by side,and are unique Japanese style.
As seeing this scene,I cant help remembering a animation,“sprited away”(Studio Ghibli http://www.madman.com.au/studioghibli/spirited.html).
And I feel wanting to go in a restautant to eat without paying,but I remain of being a pig like Chihiro's parents do.
Anyway,2008 is coming. May all of us be better than 2007!!
