#新倉富士淺間神社
今年年初很幸運拍到了河口湖雪景
聽說最近日本許多地方都下雪了
心血來潮剪了一下很久之前的影片
覺得新倉富士淺間神社冬天的風景真的好美
期待冬天再衝一波日本了🤩

Earlier this year, I was lucky to capture the snowy scenery at Lake Kawaguchi.
The winter view of Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine is truly stunning.
Can’t wait to visit Japan again this winter! 🤩

#伏見稻荷大社去了伏見稻荷大社以後

#伏見稻荷大社
去了伏見稻荷大社以後還是念念不忘
撇除人很多很崩潰以外
很喜歡神社與稻荷山散發出的神秘感
尤其是夜晚人潮散去以後，又更有fu了🌙🦊

Can’t stop thinking about Fushimi Inari Taisha.
Despite the overwhelming crowds, I loved the shrine‘s mysterious vibe, especially at night when the crowds disappear—it feels even more magical.

#青木原樹海位於富士山山腳下的青木

#青木原樹海
位於富士山山腳下的青木原樹海，有著「自s森林」的稱號。

青木原樹海因為地形複雜、樹種單一，加上豐富的磁鐵礦，使得指南針失效，人們進到森林裡只要一個不注意，往往會迷失方向。
這也讓想自s的人們走進去，沒有後悔的餘地。

走進樹海裡，倒不會有什麼陰森恐怖的感覺（黃昏晚上另當別論）。
高聳的樹木遮蔽了天空，在微風輕拂下，樹葉發出沙沙聲。
光透著樹葉照在地面上，光影的變幻特別漂亮。
這景象在日文有個美麗的詞彙，叫做「木漏れ日」。

森林裡偶爾可以看到一些警示牌，呼籲人們珍惜生命。

At Mount Fuji’s base lies Aokigahara Forest.
Dense trees and magnetite often disrupt compasses, making it easy to get lost.
Despite its reputation, sunlight filtering through the trees (komorebi) creates a serene, quiet beauty.

東京王子稻荷神社
神社小小的，藏在住宅區幼稚園的院子裡
這裡有可愛的狐狸繪馬、狐狸穴跡
最具代表性的就是「狐火傳說」
傳說在每年的除夕夜，狐狸會聚集在王子神社東側的古朴樹下，進行年末參拜

每年的東京跨年夜，這裡會舉行王子狐狸遊行
不知道有沒有人去過了呢？

Ōji Inari Shrine, Tokyo
A small shrine famous for fox ema and the ”Foxfire Legend,“ where foxes gather for year-end prayers. Don’t miss the Ōji Fox Parade on New Year‘s Eve!

#奈良井宿
奈良井宿不在奈良
奈良井宿是中山道的宿場之一
中山道是早期連接京都與江戶（東京）的其中一條著名道路
路上設有69個宿場
奈良井宿是其中比較知名的宿場
走進街道，有種穿越時空的感覺

is a historic post town on the Nakasendo,

金門前一陣子去了一趟金門住在古色

金門
前一陣子去了一趟金門
住在古色古香的閩南式古厝裡
每天跑去海邊看海
在一片金色飽滿高粱田裡吹風
欣賞著聚落內殘破的廢墟
與民宿旁的三坨鵝和一隻羊鬥嘴（？

暫時遠離社群媒體的一切
只剩下自己與一台相機
拍下最純粹的美好

ps 人生第一次看到原來高粱長這樣

Recently, I visited Kinmen and stayed in a charming, traditional Minnan-style house.
Every day, I strolled to the beach, wandered through golden sorghum fields, and explored nearby ruins.
It was a break from social media—just me and my camera, capturing simple, beautiful moments.

P.S. First time seeing sorghum up close!

【兔子】
兔子被視為多子多孫的象徵。
許多以兔子為神使的神社，
就成了求子、安產、求姻緣的聖地。

在日本，關於兔子的故事，
最知名的應該是因幡白兔傳說了。

-

Rabbits are considered a symbol of fertility.
Shrines of rabbits has become a holy place for prayers related to children, safe childbirth, and romantic relationship.

In Japan, the most famous stories about rabbits is probably the Inaba Bunny.

不知道各位造訪日本店家時，有沒有注意到店門口或是玄關，經常擺放著幾隻頭戴斗笠，手拿酒瓶的狸貓像？
這個著名的狸貓陶器，是來自滋賀縣信樂地區的名產「信樂燒」。
-
信樂燒狸貓的造型設計，全身各個部位有著不同寓意，人們把這八個地方稱為「八相緣起」。
其中不得不說到狸貓腿中間大大的東西…
這東西被稱作「金袋」，也就是狸貓的蛋蛋🥚🥚
不過這兩者之間有什麼關係呢？
原來是狸貓蛋蛋延展性特別好，以前日本的匠師在製作金箔時，會用它們來包裹黃金碎塊，再進行敲打。
據說不到4克的黃金，敲打起來，可以延展到八張榻榻米大小。
因此狸貓的蛋蛋越大，就代表著越多的財富、越多的幸運！✨
-
在浮世繪裡，可以看到各種巨大蛋蛋的神奇用處，像是拿來捕魚、抓鳥、舉重等等，看完以後真的是腦洞大開啊…🤯
不過，根據日本電視台實際調查，狸貓的蛋蛋大小，只和銀杏差不多大
-
以後大家去日本旅遊看見狸貓像，不妨多注意一下他們身上的特徵🤭

When visiting Japanese shops, you might notice ceramic tanuki statues at the entrance, often wearing straw hats and holding sake bottles. These statues are from Shigaraki ware in Shiga Prefecture and symbolize fortune with various features, including notably large testicles. Craftsmen once used these stretchy parts to wrap gold nuggets for making gold leaf. Despite their exaggerated size in art, they’re actually about the size of ginkgo nuts. Take a closer look at these statues next time you‘re in Japan!

狸の神社 Shrine of Tanuki - Yanagimori Shrine

狸の神社
Shrine of Tanuki
-
Yanagimori Shrine, a tranquil spot in Akihabara.
It’s one of the few shrines dedicated to tanuki.
Legend has it that tanuki can transform by placing leaves on their heads to appear human.
But this isn’t quite what I expected.

【貓】
生意興隆、招財納福
-
在日本，貓被認為是能夠招財辟邪的動物
在傳統以農立國的社會，能補捉老鼠、保護糧倉的貓，成為了保護財富、守護安寧的象徵
-
正統的招財貓有分公貓與母貓
舉右手的是公貓，象徵招財納福，叫做招福貓
舉左手，手上拿著小金幣的是母貓，象徵人潮滾滾，才是真正的招財貓
-
不同顏色的招財貓，也代表著不同的寓意
-
每年的2月22，是日本專屬於貓的節日
這項活動在1987年由日本寵物食品協會所設立，用來慶祝和紀念貓咪與人類和平共處

-

In Japan, cats are considered lucky animals that bring prosperity and protect against evil.
They were valued historically for their ability to catch mice and safeguard grain stores.
Beckoning cats come in two forms: one with a raised right paw, inviting wealth and blessings, and another with a raised left paw holding a coin, attracting prosperity and customers.
Different colors of these cats symbolize different things.
Cat Day is celebrated on February 22nd in Japan to honor the peaceful relationship between cats and humans.
