Here’s Anpan man ringing the bell above the giant rope cord, before donating money and praying. Quite the action shot.
I’m using a new film camera now, in addition to the digital one. Do you notice any difference?
For no discernible reason, someone dressed as Anpan man showed up at the Hanazono festival. He’s the #1 comic character for the nursery school through elementary school.
True to character, he tore off pieces of his face to feed strangers. He also offered red bean paste (in a purple plastic bag, below) with the bread that is his face. Not sure why this guy dressed up for the festival.
Other shrine visitors enjoyed his company, too!
