A radiant smile graces her face as she experiences the joy of wearing a kimono for the first time, posing gracefully in front of Sensoji, one of Tokyo's most iconic tourist destinations. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of her kimono contrast beautifully with the lush greenery and ornate architecture surrounding the temple. Sensoji evokes a unique blend of emotions; it is a place steeped in rich traditions, where the scent of incense wafts through the air, inviting visitors to partake in centuries-old customs. At the same time, the area buzzes with contemporary energy, filled with trendy shops and lively street vendors, creating a remarkable fusion of the old and the new that captivates both locals and travelers alike.

When it comes to introducing a country and its vibrant culture to newcomers at the airport, making thoughtful choices about what to showcase is essential because first impressions matter. During my recent trip, I stumbled upon Edo-koji, a charming Edo Market Place in the international terminal at Haneda Airport. The area is adorned with quaint, wooden shops that evoke the spirit of an Edo-era village, complete with a small stage that occasionally features captivating cultural displays. On this visit, I was drawn to a stunning pair of two-folded byōbu (folding screens) featuring an enchanting painting of the Wind God and Thunder God. This remarkable piece, crafted by the renowned Rinpa artist Ogata Kōrin, is a replica of an exquisite work by Tawaraya Sōtatsu, illustrating Raijin, the tempestuous god of lightning and storms, alongside Fūjin, the gentle god of wind. Honestly, what could be cooler than this? It’s a perfect representation of Japan’s rich artistic heritage right at the heart of the airport!

[February 2nd Setsubun Festival] 2025 On Sunday, February 2, the Setsubun Festival was held at Oyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine, Sannomiya Hibita Shrine (guests [Sekitorishu] Takadagawa Oyakata, Ryurai, Shonan Noumi, Teru [rakugo artist] Sanyutei Yukichi), and Isehara Daijingu Shrine. Unfortunately, it was raining in the morning, and it was cold with snow falling at Oyama Afuri Shrine Lower Shrine, but it was crowded with many Worshippers. At the annual mamemaki (bean throwing), everyone shouted "Fortune is inside, demons are outside!" and we would have been able to drive away demons and attract good fortune ✨. In addition, there was a lottery that could be exchanged for a small format, and there were times when you could win a wonderful Premiums, which was very and lively!
