In Kyoto city, the lingering summer heat is still severe.

I intended to avoid even a crowd and walked the thin alley.

Then, I found the pretty Shinto shrine. There was the ceramic ware of a lot of raccoon dogs in a Shinto shrine. I thought that they are pretty.

When I took a photograph, a person came out of the small restaurant next to the Shinto shrine.The person said that "this Shinto shrine was "hachi-be (hachi means 8) " to worship a cunning person".

There seem to be "shichi-be (shichi means 7) and "roku-be (roku means 6) near this Shinto shrine, too. I report it if I find it.
