Hello steemians!
I am RYO!
Today, I went to the Daruma(達磨) Market!
What's Daruma?
This!
Wow Many eyes are watching here!😆
But do not be afraid, Daruma is Japanese lucky item!
Daruma is a lucky item derived from Buddhism, It has been popular in Japan since long ago
Today I went to the Daruma Market held once a year at a "Tamashiki shrine"
Shrine I posted about "Mai" the other day, "Mai" is a traditional Japanese event dedicated to God↓

Daruma market is held in various places throughout the country, but this shrine is the largest in my area
It is held on weekdays but since it is held once a year many people gather
There are many food stalls around the shrine
There is a place for selling Daruma at the end of the stall
Did you notice?
"Eyes" is not painted in Daruma
Daruma's eyes are drawn by myself after purchasing
This photo of the previous time was a daruma purchaser returned to the shrine in a year
Daruma who brought luck for one year like this is returned to the shrine,
And people will purchase a new Dharma to invite new luck
I did not buy a Dharma but I prayed God for thankfulness
This place is where "Mai" takes place
In this way, there are various other gods living together in one shrine
There is beautiful groundwater
I did not purchase anything in particular, but when I have an event I will visit this shrine,
Because it is nice to see my favorite shrine loved by many people.
Usually this shrine is not a place many tourists visit, but it is a wonderful shrine with a history of more than 1300 years.
I hope that such a historical shrine will be loved by many people in the future😊
