Similar to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in China, shrines are the oldest types of religious architecture in Japan, much older than mosques. Since Japan's shrines have been rebuilt every few decades since the 7th century, most of them are relatively well preserved, and almost every shrine has an ancient history.

The Japanese archipelago is dotted with shrines, and there are five extremely famous shrines in Tokyo: Meiji Jingu Shrine, which is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, Ueno Toshogu Shrine, which is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, Nikgi Shrine, which is dedicated to Sanno Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Edo, Inari Shrine, a garden dedicated to Inari Shrine, and Yasukuni Shrine, which is most notorious.

These five shrines are the most frequented shrines by Tokyo citizens, and they are inseparable from life and death, marriage, and other major life events, even the royal family and ministers.

But there are more than just these five shrines in Tokyo.

In the endless concrete forests and steel castles, there are always one or two izakaya hidden in the alleys, and an ancient shrine that was chanted by the ministers in the Heian period.

For example, Ichinian Bun Shrine.

……

Wei Yue went out early in the morning, went to the high-end "Kufukuya" on the street of Shinjuku to buy two "Shinoki" kimonos, paid 1 million yen each, and the owner of the "Kufukuya" personally rushed to the King's Castle Suite of the Hilton Hotel to determine the size of the two distinguished guests, and then asked the clerk to deliver the clothes.

"If you have enough time, you should actually customize it, and you will always worry about the wrong size when you buy ready-to-wear." Wei Yue stood in front of the mirror and stroked the right man and said, "It's just that I have already handed over a letter of worship to the senior of Terashima Shouyi, and the time is irrevocable, so there is no way to do it." ”

Duanmu Ci looked at the neatly folded "color without land" in front of him and asked, "Why are we wearing this?" Visiting a shrine is a solemn thing, but I don't think it's a regular attire, and it's rare to wear them except for special ceremonies. ”

Wei Yue turned around from the mirror, "Teshima Moriyoshi is an old-fashioned person, and if you want to visit his shrine, you must wear these things, otherwise you won't be able to see him." ”

"Shikinoji" is a kind of kimono with a single color other than black and no pattern in the kimono.

Wearing "color without land" to visit a person is undoubtedly a sign of grandeur and importance.

Duanmu Ci had no choice but to follow the villagers and lay guests, and he also changed into a "color without land". Although this dress is a national feature of Japan, it can be seen from its name that it has a great connection with China. Undoubtedly, it was transmitted to Japan from the land of Wu, and then after some small changes, it became their "national characteristics".

This is probably a "copycat stream" at the national level.

There are many times in the history of Japan, such as the tea ceremony, kendo, calligraphy, and so on.

Ichienbun Shrine is located in Shinjuku Ward, not far from the Hilton Hotel, so Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue did not take a car but walked, preparing to visit on foot, according to Wei Yue, this is also a courtesy to show respect.

The two of them are wearing pure black and the same style of "color without land", with white socks and clogs at their feet, and a small folding fan in their hands, looking like characters in ancient paintings. In fact, there is nothing unusual about their outfits on the streets of Japan, and they do not attract attention as often as they do in China. Some high school students also wear this at the coming-of-age ceremony, and passers-by generally choose to ignore it, and even look at it again and feel that it is a waste of time.

But now it's different, because people are different.

Passers-by in Shinjuku District saw these two people walking together in ancient clothes, as if they saw Pan Yue and Xiahou Zhan walking together on Luoyang Road, which was called "Lianbi" at the time.

The so-called "Lianbi", that is, the parallel connection of beautiful jade, also refers to the person or thing with the same beauty.

Obviously, in the eyes of passers-by, Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue are the so-called "Lianbi", and if they are not holding a small folding fan, but a long knife, they are the beautiful young samurai of the Edo period!

With "Lianbi" as the center, the streets within a radius of 20 meters seem to have been filmed in slow motion, time passes slowly, and everyone's pace also slows down, which is inexplicably a little weird.

"I said don't wear this out, you don't believe it!" Duanmu didn't squint, but complained in a low voice.

"How can you blame me for this, Duanmu-kun? It's really because Duanmujun's demeanor is really dazzling, in the final analysis, Duanmujun should be blamed! Wei Yue replied in a low voice.

"Hurry up, your current identity is still not visible, and it will not be good if your retainers and subordinates find out." Duanmu kindly suggested, "Otherwise, you should cover your face." ”

"Huh." Wei Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, "Let's go faster." ”

However, life is unsatisfactory, often nine times out of ten, just when the two were about to speed up the pace, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly stood in the way, bowed deeply, and held this posture while also handing out a business card in his hand, "Contemptible Watanabe Ichiro, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!" ”

Duanmu Ci hesitated for a moment, but still took the business card.

The business card shows that Mr. Watanabe is a talent scout for a star firm.

That's right, Ichiro Watanabe is a legendary talent scout, but his status is not very high. In fact, in the firm, he has gradually been marginalized, because he has not discovered potential newcomers for a long time, and he is in danger of being fired recently, so he is very depressed, and he is going to go to the izakaya for a drink and then tease the proprietress for a while.

As a result, I didn't expect to see two pearls on the road!

That's right, it's the pearl!

Ichiro Watanabe dares to guarantee that as long as these two people's faces appear on TV, they will be 100% popular, and if it works well, it is not impossible to become popular all over Asia like those predecessors! These two people are bound to become the new stars of the firm! And he, Ichiro Watanabe, will also usher in the spring of his career!

However, it is still the same sentence, life is unsatisfactory, often nine times out of ten. Duanmu Ci shook his head after reading the business card, and handed back the business card with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Watanabe for your love, but we really have no intention of becoming artists, please bear with me." ”

Ichiro Watanabe hurriedly said, "Although I don't know the current occupations and incomes of the two of them, I dare to guarantee that if the two of them are willing to join the firm, they will become the hottest artists in Japan and the highest-paid young people in Japan and even East Asia within a year!" Please think about it! ”

He thinks that in Japan, where the economy is sluggish, there are probably no young people who can resist such a temptation, and besides, isn't it something that young people dream of in the spotlight?

Wei Yue smiled lightly, and the small folding fan in her hand slowly opened, revealing the words "Ya Song Zhai" at the bottom of the fan. "Ya Song Zhai" is an ancient shop specializing in small folding fans in Japan, the legend has existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, because it was named after the perennial sale of folding fans for the Great Song Dynasty, and the scholars and doctors of the Song Dynasty liked the folding fans from the Wa Kingdom very much, and often wrote poems to recite them.

Therefore, the small folding fan of "Ya Song Zhai" is very expensive, and almost every handle requires a year's living expenses of an ordinary family. Now that Wei Yue is showing this in front of Ichiro Watanabe, he is undoubtedly telling him that we are not short of money.

Watanabe Ichiro understood, and immediately smiled bitterly, "It turned out to be a noble son, and it was the contemptible Meng Lang." As he spoke, he dodged half of his body and made way for him.

Duanmu Ci and Wei Yue nodded slightly to him, and then Shi Shiran stepped forward. The two-toothed clogs under his feet make a crisp sound when they step on the ground.

Watanabe Ichiro stood behind and watched their backs, after all, he still didn't give up, took out the high-definition digital camera he carried with him, took two photos of their backs, and then shook his head and left.
