A Lantern is 200 Years Old in a shrine

Hi, the temperature is getting warmer, and it will be 18 degrees centigrade tomorrow. Flowers of Japanese plum trees blooming recently are really nice. I went to Kitano-tenman-gu shrine. It's my favorite.

The photo looks telling the beauty, well, for 20%. That's not enough. They are more beautiful!

The building is in the shrine. Those colors are also nice.

Here'a a sort of lanterns. It looks very old. Actually, it was made about 200 years ago. 

At least, I find the letters in Japanese. "文政", Bunsei was a Japanese period's name about 200 yeas ago. It's amazing. When you hang something, what it will be? I guess, 200 years later, it falls down. Yeah, the lantern is special.

And, I didn't know about the period "Bunsei". Almost all Japanese don't know, though we learn it in our high school. Everybody forget it. Because there're so many periods in old Japan.

I looked for the period's name on the internet, when I go back to home, looking at the picture :P

I should learn more! Yeah, if you like, let's learn together!!
