"Wishes" in wood, in a temple near Himeji Castle. A friend which lived in Japan for a long time told me that the wishes are so diverse as people are: for good luck, for a better job, for health and money, for love... everything is OK!

In a Sunday morning, tourists and local flocks into Asakusa Kannon Temple (Sensoji) grounds, Tokyo's most famous and popular religious place. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built there, being the oldest temple in town.
