SHUZENJI FACES
An avatar from Star Wars?
When you travel, be it in Japan or abroad, there are plenty of unusual sights to take in photo in posterity!
I found quit a few the other day in Shuzenji in the heart of Izu Penisula in Shizuoka Prefecture!

A grinning lion?
A ravenous dragon?
One of the Seven Deities…
A hand-waving goblin?
Looking for more!
