Koir, thanks for corrections.
And, thanks for reading every time.

The temple sounds very interesting. Once again, it's good to hear more about the traditions of Japan and how they are being followed in this modern world as they were in ancient times (Shinmeizukuri, etc.).
Actually, Ise shrine is not a temple.
A shrine is for Shinto religion which has many gods, and a temple is for Buddhism which doesn’t have any gods. Many Japanese people believe in both Shinto and Buddhism.

As for the rain...I don't think the gods dislike you, Yuri. My first thoughts about rain were about how it replenishes the earth and allows things to grow, and other things to wash clean. A very good sign, I'm thinking.
This is very nice of you. Thanks, Koir.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
