I had not given any thought to what happened to a Shinto shrine. I have a Shinto shrine in my home - love the architecture - with the mirror/foxes/offering containers for water. Nice photo of the wasps on the porcelain foxes. Thanks for the story! Jerry of San Francisco A geat set of photos and story. I had not given any thought to what happened to a Shinto shrine.
