Photographer’s Note

Colourful rice bowls and tea cups. At a souvenir shop on a street near the Grand Shrine of Ise, the highest shrine of Shintoism.
 Ise city is very touristic. There are a lot of souvenir shops like this. But it is not due to the commercialism in recent years. Since the age of Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1867), Ise has been a great tourist trap. Because the pilgrimage to Ise was the only opportunity to travel for the commoners under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
