The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

When you walk around Kobe, you will find many things. I would like to deliver such something that caught my eye as the "Kobe, Rediscovered" series. The first stage is the work of Kobe-born sculptor Hirokazu Ichii. "Rainbow Floating Statue" Sunlight from far away space encountered water droplets on the earth after rain and created rainbow colors. I hope that many such miraculous encounters will be born in Kobe, and that many wonderful rainbows will be cast. It is written. This is a statue that I stopped when I was walking along the center street of Sannomiya. I hope that when you come to Kobe, you will find it. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to face down too much and bump into it.
