It is the "Yokote Kamakura" in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. "Kamakura" is a small New Year's celebration dedicated to the god of water, and even in the pillow, children shout "I got in! They talk to tourists and entertain them with rice cakes and amazake. This photo is at the photo session venue of "Kamakura", but the best position is super full and I regretted the delay, but if I took it from a position where no one dared to look at it, I could take a wonderful photo and I was very satisfied with the "Kamakura" photo.

Was walking past a park in Arakawa the other day and came across this interesting statue. I think the name is read as Honda Takatomo (本田 貴侶) but it was difficult to find any information. I kept finding stuff showing the same statue but instead of "聖なるもののリピドー" they all show "聖なるもののリビドー" I'm not sure what the differences are though. Perhaps there are multiple statues in different locations? All the ones I saw referred to this statue in Arakawa though so maybe there's a misprint or something? Also I'm not sure what "リピドー" or "リビドー" means, but if anyone has any idea about what the statue's meaning is I'd love to hear it! Either way it's a nice looking statue. I always enjoy finding things like this around different parts of Japan, they really add to the atmosphere of the city.
