Beautiful pictures! I love your photo of the tea kettles.

I really enjoy the mix of photos, particularly like the differing angles of the buildings and the homeliness of the kettles, but please tell me what the figures in stone are wearing. 😉

Unbelieveably gorgeous photos! I’ve always wanted to go to Kyushu, and you’ve cemented that desire!
Now I’ve got to go buy a plane ticket if you’ll excuse me.

Nice pics. What’s the story about the second one from the bottom? Ancestral tomb right? Are they bibs for eating?
-

Lovely photos! I have a tiny question about the statues: are they the Seven Gods of Fortune?

Fantastic photos! Except for Okinawa, I haven’t been off Honshu yet. I would love to see Kyushu.
The bibs on the statues–those are statues of Jizo, a Boddhisattva who protects children. They are decorated by parents whose children die prematurely so that he will take the children to the underworld properly. There’s a really good Japanese Buddhist dictionary with an explanation here: http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/jizo1.shtml#RedBibHat
