Happy Solstice All!

The 'Ichinyo Raifuku Amulet' from Anahachi Shrine is believed to bring financial good fortune. I stood in line to get them today (and got some at the Temple next door too!)!


The shrineโ€™s special charm is available only during the winter solstice every year (Dec 21 2024 today!) These charms are to be put up at exactly midnight on either the first day of winter solstice, on New Yearโ€™s Eve, or on Setsubun (the last day of winter), and they should be placed high on a roomโ€™s wall, facing the โ€œehou,โ€ or lucky direction, of the year. It also came with complicated directions and I need a compass to do it correctly. Luckily the ones that go in your wallet just need to be placed at the correct time!

Thank you all for testing this raffle frame with me! Congrats to @b05 who wins the prize! Iโ€™ll go tip one of your casts! Thanks for all the support everyone!
There is a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten right in the middle of Ueno Park. Itโ€™s in the center of the lake there and itโ€™s a special because here she is seen as Happi-Benzaiten which literally means โ€œEight Elbows Benzaitenโ€. This is because she has eight arms which hold different weapons for fighting off evil and sheโ€™s housed in an eight-sided building. Benzaiten is a goddess of all things that flow which includes words, wisdom, wealth, and art! I bought all the charms and prayed for all the artists on Farcaster and lit incense!

Sadly, the original temple was destroyed in a bombing raid in World War 2. However, the statue of Benzaiten survived the bombing and is now enshrined in the new Main Hall which is a reconstruction of the 17th century temple and built in 1958.
Itโ€™s SuperFan Saturday! Do you have a series you absolutely love?

For me itโ€™s Sailor Moon and One Piece. I canโ€™t pass up Chopper Merchandise or something with sparkles and Sailor Moon!

Spoiler alert. I ate it. It WAS delicious. Salted caramel with a huge dollop of caramel inside the middle. This was my dinner because Iโ€™m an adult. I bought the hat because:

1) it was cute
2) I ended up eating all my meals here because I could mobile order and the wait was less than an hour. Iโ€™d didnโ€™t see a snack cart or restaurant with less than 200 people in line all day.

Location: Disney Sea, Fantasy Springs, Tokyo, Japan.
The new Fantasy Springs section at Tokyo Disney Sea is unreal. I felt like I stepped into the movie โ€œTangledโ€.

The Beauty and the Beast ride next door at Disneyland is still the best ride out of all the Disney parks in the entire world (fight me) but hot dang does this come a close second as far as theming, vibe, and animatronics.

We do a little Disney Sea. Itโ€™s like being in the Twilight Zone though. There is nothing at all Disney about this except you might see a character hat. Most of the merchandise is Duffy, who is Mikey Mouseโ€™s Teddy Bear and exceeds him in popularity 1000x. Even the Tower of Terror isnโ€™t scary. Christmas decorations are maybe at 5. Disney at home would be Christmas every 3 feet! This was the only โ€œlandโ€ with any decorations and itโ€™s because itโ€™s supposed to be New York!
Someone asked me what my guilty pleasure anime was and I have many. But the first is The Prince of Tennis. So silly. So cute. Still pops up with a new version every few years. Still get sucked in. What about you?

Grabbed more charms. Certain victory and improve your fortune! Letโ€™s all win together!

Lucky! Found another tiny shiny dedicated to Benzaiten in Hakone and wrote an ema with well wishes!

In case you missed the reference, she is the goddess of fortune who protects artists and was the focus of my November Hypersub art.
The blending of Christmas and the Japanese art of flower arranging blows me away. Itโ€™s so beautiful!

Thursday's are for guilty pleasures! What is your guilty pleasure anime or manga?
Thank you @zachlipp for the shout out! I appreciate it so much. We are small but mighty! I canโ€™t wait to see channels grow. I think they are special and love seeing what people post. Itโ€™s starting to feel like a community!
Iโ€™m on boat! The โ€œPirate Shipsโ€ at Lake Ashi might feel out of place, but they are a quintessential experience when you go to Hakone. The lake is about 15 miles long so walking is not an option. Upgrade your ticket so you can have the captainโ€™s view.

If you are very lucky, youโ€™ll get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji on a clear day!

If you eat the Kuro Tamago (the Black Egg) in Hakone, you get 7 years added to your life. I ate 2! They turn black (the shells) when cooked due to the sulphur. This also supplies the onsen water for most of Hakone. Yay active volcanoes!

It's recommendation Wednesday! Convince us to watch an anime series or read a manga! Feel free to use music, videos, photos, or fan art to make your case, but do your best to make us want to watch or read it!
Iโ€™m sure I looked like a crazy person placing all my Mokeke in the bushes but I think they are adorable, in an ugly cute kind of way. I found out there are more than 300 limited edition ones all over Japanโ€ฆI think Iโ€™m up to 40 now.

Mokeke are skinny aliens with a habit of giving long hugs and sneaking up on you. They are from the planet Mokekenoke and think humans are cool.

No longer as black box. Algo still secret but you can see your scoreโ€ฆ.kind of. Letโ€™s see how this plays out.
Mt. Fuji Limited Edition Mokeke, please meet Fuji-San. Heโ€™s a little shy and likes to hide behind the clouds. Mokeke are aliens who like to give hugs and hold hands.
