My diary.

I took a walk at Kawagoe city today. I visited an old shopping street, a castle, a museum and temples. I ate lunch at a Japanese restaurant but I had forgotten the restaurant's foods are not delicious.



I offered incense incense sticks at Kitain-temple. People absconded with my smoke of incense and smeared the smoke over their body. :-) Hmm, it would mean I gave the smoke in charity. :-) If you coat with the smoke to your head, your head become a clear head. If you coat with it to your injured part of your body, it recovers. Please don't blame me even if you couldn't recover. :-D Just I explain why they did so. I also did it.



I also visited Nakain-temple. This temple has about 1,200 years history. I haven't saw its all of its main buddha statue but finally I saw the main statue. Really good statues. Beautiful and sublime.



You can see the main statue and explanation about the temple.

Kawagoe is a historical and famous place where a war lord, Hojyo Ujiyasu, beat downed 80,000 samurais with only 8,000 samurais. The war is known as one of three major night battles of age of provincial wars in Japan.



I saw a TV program about Incan civilization tonight. It is a really interesting and intriguing civilization. I feel bad for current Spanish people who always become badmen when we talk about the civilization. TV program explained the civilization become great not by ripping off but by giving. It was a memorable　word.



Have a nice week!
