2005-01-09 | shrine and temple
A giant straw festoon is put in front of the main building of Inari Shrine.
It weighs about 1.5 tons.

And under the Indian-style main gate is a pair of stone statue of fox.

I don't know well but it isn't a symbol of a snake.

I think it's just a jumbo straw festoon.



There is a very big one at 'Izumo Taisha' that is famous for 'a god of marraige' in Shimane.

It is said the length is 15 meters and the weight is 5 tons.

Is this a symbol of a giant god snake, too?
