6) MICE🐁
Ōtoyo-jinja (大豊神社) is nicknamed the 'Mouse Shrine' (鼠の社 'Nezumi-no-sha') after 2 guardian mice 'koma-nezumi' (狛鼠)...familiars of the god Ōkuninushi (大国主).
It is said that they are modeled on 2 mice that once alerted locals to a fire!
The left-hand mouse carries a drinking bowl (水の器), representing abundant harvests, protection from illness and success in conceiving.
The right-hand guardian carries a scroll (巻物) to symbolise academic achievement and knowledge.
#Balkonsolar-technisch ein überraschend guter Tag heute.
