Takamura lived in Kyoto 9th century & during the day he was an elite noble man & attended the royal court .At nightfall he descended through one of the wells of the city to the flaming  gates of the underworld.
There he was an advisor to the King of the Underworld who sat in judgement of the souls of the departed=go to heaven or hell.
Takamura interceded on behalf deserving souls saving them for heaven or even sending back to the  living.
At dawn he ascended back to the city again through one of the wells.

We thought a little reggae

Yup BC & his mates showing at their best
 Sorry just had to share this it reminded me of BC's avitar somehow..the story is about the media inquire in Australia
 

With images from Japan last month we thought theme wise we would go for "the Fox's Wedding" a sun shower.
Images from Osaka,Kameoka, Kyoto , Ito on the coast soth of Tokyo , Mt Fuji,Grand Shrine in Fushimi Kyoto , Asuka {Japan's ancient capital } an area full of burial mounds dating back thousands years  and strange megalithic stone turtles and legends of Oni's {giants}.
Kitsune is Japanese  for fox, they have  the ability to change shape into beautiful woman and make examples of foolish men.There are many stories and folk tales , and I can understand why Shinto a belief in the spirits of nature flourishes in Japan .
 
The music was done here at home hope you enjoy.
BTW Thanks Kings for doing the fix pix

The lyric in Japanese translation
A bird flies straight and true in the clear dawn air.

English
It's all gone quiet tonight
The crickets they call
The moon she shines
Tonight for you comes a dreaming
The spirit of your ancestors.

I felt a real energy from this little baby fresh energetic and chilled and so adorably cute.
Life is wonderful Thanks for the indulgence )
