Hokora

 
Here's another photo collection I've started....hokora.  Hokora are tiny "household"  or roadside Shinto shrines that people have in their yards.  They enshrine minor spirits.  They're cute and make me think of fairy houses.  All of these are in the neighborhoods around my house.....hopefully I'll keep finding more and continue this as a series.
 
 
this one is inset into someone's perimeter
wall.....kinda unusual

this one really looks like a fairy house

wonder if the spirit likes to be exposed in the
sun like this? and on cement blocks?
