Thank you very much for the kind comments, Gents :)
I find no special problem in uploading images at the moment except the max image number at a time is 10.

Local shrines during the new year holidays.
Looks enough to test. Thanks.
 
When I was in Japan in 1966 you could get one of those orange flavored drinks for 3 yen, now looks like something about the same size is 110 yen.
I remember when I was in Japan most of their wood looked untreated, unpainted , no stain on any protection that I could see.
They preferred their wood to look like wood, except of course their lacquerware.

How do they get those ancient wooden temples to last so long ?

Hello and Thanks for your kind comment and question, tyrodtom :)

IIRC, the 3 yen juice could be one of Dagashiya (Mom-and-pop candy store) items. I loved it too as my pocket money was 10 yen a day in the early 1960s. It's available for 30 yen today.

Those historical wooden buildings are overhauled every 50 years on average to replace damaged parts and to train future engineers. They are requested to leave original parts as much as possible.
