Akayama-zenin in Kyoto 京都の赤山禅院

I stopped by Akayama-zenin赤山禅院 from Renge-ji,temple蓮華寺 on the way.

It co-stars about the chicken foot and cherry blossoms. Because most cherry blossoms bloom in spring, such a spectacle is unusual. It blooms in cherry blossoms that are called Kansakura in winter. A lot of flowers do not bloom like cherry blossoms of spring. And, it is small. But, it is very lovely.

Something stands in line. It tries to approach.

These are Omikuji. Because it is paper folded generally, this is rare. We sometimes watch the sacred lot of such a doll.
Omikuji is ....ummm. It is difficult to explain it.
~~ Omikuji is a traditional form of Japanese fortune telling in which a person's fortune is written on piece of folded paper and is typically sold at Shinto Shrines and Buddhist Temples for about 100 yen. Omikuji can range from excellent to poor and tell about various aspects of life including love, business, academics, special wishes, travel etc. Many Japanese visit shrines and temples at the New Year and enjoy this.Omikuji are usually not taken seriously and are read with a sense of fun. Once the omikuji is read, many people tie them on trees and pillars at temples and shrines for good luck.~~ It was explained like this.
