Kyoto's Mikami Shrine(2)
As soon as you step into the shrine, you'll see a magical place ββ the Hair Mound. This is where hair is specially stored! πΏπ The way to worship is also quite unique. You have to let the shrine staff use a special pair of scissors to cut a small tuft of your hair, put it into a special bag, and then place it on the Hair Mound. It's said that by doing this, you can pray for your hair to grow as densely as bamboo shoots after the rain! At that moment, I thought to myself, if my hair could grow as fast as bamboo, wouldn't I have to visit the hair salon every day? π πΏπ This place is not only a beacon of hope for those suffering from hair loss but also holds a significant position in Japan's beauty and hairdressing industry! There are many "Tamagaki" (sacred fences) on both sides of the main hall, all of which are dedicated by related professionals and businesses. Even big companies like Procter & Gamble come to join in the fun. πΏπ Maybe they're thinking that by praying here, their products will make hair all over the world smooth and shiny, and their sales will soar! π° #Kyoto πΏπ
