Happy New Year!
This is one of the last places we visited with Freeschool #I CAN.
I had visited Eshini Hall before, and @toddstafford has visited here before, but the Eshin no Sato Memorial Hall was a nice place to get a cup of coffee while enjoying a beautiful view.
The cut-outs on display were created by an eighty year old artist and represent the 12 animal zodiac signs of each year. 2019 is the year of the boar.
Eshin, the Buddhist nun and wife of Shinran, has some writings and letters displayed here, but photos are not allowed. There are meeting rooms and a large multi purpose room also for rent. #joetsu #itakura #enishi #coffee #shinran
