still more fushimi inari

i just absolutely love the fushimi inari shrine. here are some more images. i was especially interested in the workmen repairing the tori gates. note the cool ladder the painter is using [he's painting the names of the parishioner who donated the gate] and the way the other worker is standing on a pole that is merely tied onto the gate. wow.

Fushimi inspired fabric

I adore this reissued vintage fabric. It is inspired by fushimi inari shrine. It's from the shop eirakuya...they are reissuing lots of amazing vintage fabrics from their collections, and making beautiful new fabric as well. Note the way it's being worn by the hipster at the toji flea market.
