A journey of offerings to Fujinomiya Sengen Taisha Shrine
I wanted to say hello to Mt. Fuji and the goddess of cherry blossoms, so I came up with the idea of performing the Alchemy Crystal Bowl, Sakura Series, in the season when the cherry blossoms bloom. Since I was also going to deliver them overseas, I set off in early April with a lot of crystal bowls in my car, hoping to deliver the code of Mt. Fuji, the message of the goddess of cherry blossoms, and the energy of prayer. Since I was going there, I was excited about the idea of staying near Mt. Fuji and traveling while relaxing in a hot spring.
But actually, Yuzuko, the representative of Yuzu Works, is quite clumsy but also lucky, attracting unusual incidents, unusual journeys, and unusual weather ^^ When taking a long journey on the Tomei Expressway, there is a high probability of rain (and it tends to rain heavily when Yuzuko is driving). This time too, I checked the weather forecast a few days in advance to see what would happen, but the forecast was quite gloomy... No matter how many times I looked, looked at different weather sites, or tried different apps, it didn't get any better ^^
Just before we left it got even worse. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the weather forecast. "Snow at dawn (sweat)." This means it might just be cold (I'll be honest, I love the cold ^^ The cold radar only activates when it gets below 3 degrees).
That being said, it might be a good idea to give the people you're going with a little notice.
I gently warned Yuriko, "It's good that you had snow tires on your car." (I never thought I would actually need to do that...)
I warned Taki that it might be a little cold. (If "a little" is not a little, he will get angry later.)
On the day, I went to pick up Miss Taki wearing a warm vest and sweater, but even though she had said she would wear a down jacket, she ended up wearing a really thin down jacket.
She was a perceptive girl and when she saw my outfit (it's unusual for me to be wearing a sweater; it's something I only wear when it's cold...), she seemed to think, "This is bad!", and just in the nick of time we managed to exchange my thin down jacket for a thicker one, and since it would be difficult to replace the luggage once it was already packed, we headed straight for the Tomei Expressway.
As we got closer to our destination, the clouds started to look more and more ominous ^^ "Is it sleet?" "No, snow?" "No, it's snow!" As we went further, the snow started to fall more and more... What's more, it continued to snow all the way through the night! When we woke up in the morning, there was 15 centimeters of snow, and halfway up the mountain, there was 25 centimeters!
Surprise! It wasn't rain, it was snow! And in April!
I had prepared some clothes that would look spring-like, so I dressed warmly and headed to Fujinomiya Sengen Taisha Shrine. The photo was taken on the way there. It's definitely snow country.
Rain is said to be a purifying rain, but snow is a crystal that goes even further than that, so perhaps a much greater purification was needed!? Unfortunately, it also rained at Fujinomiya Sengen Taisha Shrine. Thanks to that (for us), we were able to take our time to prepare and perform the dedication performance at a leisurely pace.
Anyway, thanks.
On the way back, I was able to see Mount Fuji under clear skies and snow, which made me incredibly happy.
Even if it's a strange journey, I think it's fun! I think I'll attract it again because I'm enjoying it. Please enjoy the offering bowl that also contains the encoding of lively and energetic energy.
