Front gate to Nezu S..sited festival today	The gate is painted brightly ...	... it reminds me of the woodwork at Nikko	Copper dog wants to ..become big stone dog
The main shrine buil..has gilded beams ...	... and animal heads	A long series of tor..d to an Inari shrine	Foxes are the guardi../messengers of Inari
The torii lead uphill ...	... to the Inari shrine	Awwww	I'd never seen a dep..n of a den like this
The festival featured -- steel pan music?	Wandering the neighb..und nice flowers ...	... and a statue of ..wling cat above them	There were many Buddhist temples in Nezu
And many nice gardens	This sign asks drive..n the narrow streets	People dress the sta..e merit in afterlife	Few vampires choose to eat here
Carving above door o.. Buddhist temple ...	... which also has a big bell	I visited the Kusuo ..house, built in 1919	The one Western room..Japanese veranda ...
... and beautiful walnut wall panels	The fireplace has we..ing over it, but ...	... notice the Japanese figures	One panel of a scree..g room; note gilding
Big living room has ..ch leading to garden	Upstairs, a 'painting' is actually ...	... colored sand and tiny sculptures	Another sand painting sits under a scroll
Some visitors made t..and painting of Fuji	Veranda with sliding glass doors to garden	Kitchen has sink, stove, icebox
