The entrance of the Otori Jinja shrine in the northern part of Asakusa, the area called Senzoku. Every year, on November, people gather here for the Tori no Ichi festival/fair where the good luck charms called "kumade" are sold. When entering the shrine grounds, people are purified by priests shaking staffs with lightning-shaped strips of white paper attached. Taken on November 27, 2013. (1/2) © Grigoris A. Miliaresis
