summer at the shrine ...
he buys a talisman
to keep his job
We live in hard times, and the Shinto shrines are making good business of it.
The Japanese are very fond of talismans.
You can buy a talisman for anything, from keeping your cell phone
well, to improving the condition of your computer, from loosing your
job ...
Look at some of them, with DARUMA
