Title: The Messenger — Miyajima, 2025
Among the vermilion pillars and hanging lanterns of Miyajima, I saw a man in a dark suit sitting. Further inside, a priest in white robes knelt before the sanctuary and prayed for him. It was the first time I was seeing this prayer, and I wondered how important his message was. He had not come to speak to the gods himself; instead, he relayed on the Shinshoku to make sure his words travel the rest of the way. As messengers, they are responsible for delivering another person’s hopes to the gods.
On Paper:
