Two onigawara from Yakushima

Comments: 1

Of course you knew you were going to see onigawara from Yakushima and here are two terrific specimens, one by day, the other by night. Above is the roof of a house that must belong to a fishing family: the fellow in the middle of the onigawara is Ebisu, god of fishermen.

This one is made of tin, I think, and was on the not-quite-mature copper roof of a prohibitively expensive shop selling things made from yaku-sugi (a beautiful cedar from Yakushima).

nice to see you’re still “collecting” onigawara after all these years….
