That Comic Market 87 sounds like it was a lot of fun! Glad to see that the Shinki fandom is very much alive in Japan, even after the TV series has ended and no word yet on any new Shinki releases.

The Kotatsu was made by a husband and wife. They made 6 sets for Comiket. The husband made the tables and the wife sewed the covers and cushions. Very nice people. Just normal kotatsu. No shields or weapons lolZenislez wrote:And what a nice Kotatsu. Wish I could buy it somewhere...

Re: Tsumanne's Shinki Travels (04 January 2015 New Years)
A little late for New Years, but wow I've been busy.
On New Years I decided to take Lirubi to my old neighborhood and swing by the local shrines since I knew they wouldn't be busy. So we payed our respects and left a generous donation after a few quick pictures. It actually occurred to me while walking around that I had never taken any pictures of the shrines when I lived there... Or anything in my old neighborhood for that matter. So that changed hahaha. Shinki sightseeing has caused me to be more aware of pictures I should take.
Tokyo, Japan
New Years 2015
The miko outfit fits!
The neighborhood shrine is for a Turtle Kami. Actually, a turtle lives under the bridge.
Oh, and for Dragon Ball fans, note that the kanji at the top of the lanterns is the same as on Goku's back (;
Lirubi as we cleaned up before going in to the shrine. We then tossed in our donation and gave our well wishings for the New Year.
Rare these days, but a small street alter. I literally used to live next door. I could hear every coin dropped in the donation box from my bedroom...
Naturally Lirubi had to make sure everything was good and clean. It is very old after all.
Oh and for anyone wondering; the water bottle is to keep cats away. It has a chemical like ammonia in it that cats hate.
On our way to the park we stopped to pay respects to the Fox shrine... And of course tidy things up. They are the messangers of the gods you know.
And we're at the park (yes this is still Tokyo lol). She does like to take the lead.
A short break. The small statues in the background with the red hats and bibs are Jizo statues as Dosojin which protect travelers on the path.
Naturally we had to go make sure everything was good and clean.
Resting after a long days work. Being a Miko is hard you know.
After we got back to the hotel I let her know I had a New Year's surprise for her!!!
Uh, oh

Oh, that is nice.
Must bring a lot of nostalgia.
And speaking of Lolibi (lirbiete nickname), Unless you have her sister (Vervietta) she will be....uncompromising to another female (human, animal, whatever.)
Better explain to her properly or she will hunt your other girl

OMG, I love all your photos of the shrines and the park! I hope that someday I'll be able to travel to Japan so I can visit all of these various shrines (I would especially love to go to the fox shrine).
Uh-oh... Lirubi's not happy that you got another Shinki...

Zeni: "Lolibi", oh my that is hilarious! LOL. Gotta love her default personality... Even if it is troublesome.
LC: Thank you much. I too have a soft spot for fox shrines. Probably because my family had a fox for a while when I was really little.
Kirie: Winter is actually relatively mild in Tokyo. It doesn't really start getting cold until mid/late January. Might get a little snow in February, but that's about it. The Kanto region has surprisingly balanced weather really.

Somehow my reply yesterday are gone
Could it be that this is the sub-event you stumbled on in Comiket ?
