Guardians of Kitano Tenmangu in Kurume
Zuijin was the original term for imperial guards, and they are most often shown holding bows and arrows.
Unusual, and I'm not sure of their significace, but there were also this trio of red horses...... more on the shrine tomorrow....

To the First Bend in the River
First Bend in the River
A little further and I come to the first of several concreted slopes, the consequence of landslides. Twice in the past decade the train line was closed down because of a landslide in roughly this spot. Each time it took more than a year to get it open again. Obviously, no-one of importance uses the train line otherwise it would have been fixed sharpish methinks.
It is my intention to stay on this bank all the way to the source of the river and then come back downstream on the other bank.

Fukutomi Residence in Izushi part 2
Fukutomi Residence in Izushi
This is a continuation of yesterday's post on the interiors of the former Fukutomi residence in Izushi that is open to the public as the Izushi History Museum.
Located in the preservation district of this old castle town, its not directly in the main tourist street so actually gets few visitors.
