| Next stop on our Christmas marathon cycle ride was Fushimi, home of the rice god and his messenger foxes. A thousand torii snake up the hillside to create a tunnel of bright vermilion, each gate a donation from a family or company in remembrance of a loved one or to curry favour with the gods. It is awesome and haunting, a commercial exploit that retains its mystery. Easy to believe that the kitsune stalk the overgrown brush still. | ||
