TruemorsOn New Year's Day, the Japanese flood shrines to make their first offering of the New Year. At the shrine in Asakusa, Tokyo, thousands of people struggled to make their way to the temple. When I finally got to the temple stairs, I turned and took this shot. I did eventually get to make an offering, but since it was so crowded, most people just threw their money haphazardly into the temple, and, since I was taller than most of the other people, I got hit in the head a few times with very heavy coins. Talk about ringing in the new year.
