Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine in Japan welcomes visitors with 600 windmills

 Approximately 600 windmills are displayed at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine (Priest Priest: Yoshihisa Yamada) in Miyashita-cho, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, welcoming visitors with mauve-colored blades.


 The windmills are made of waterproof paper, and each one is about 15 centimeters in size. It was created at Kawagoe Imonoko Workshop, an independence support facility for people with disabilities, and was hung in two places: at the entrance to the shrine grounds and at the shrine plaza. It rotates while picking up the wind that reaches the trees in the temple grounds.


 The windmill will be displayed on the grounds throughout June. From July 6th, there will be a ``Enmusubi Furin'' event where approximately 1,500 Edo wind chimes will be displayed.

 Yuya Arakawa (39) of the same shrine, Gonegi, said, ``For a long time, Japanese people have thought that when the wind blows, ``Maybe my feelings have reached people.'' They can feel the movement of the wind with windmills and wind chimes. I want it," he said.
