Takeda-jo castle, and places with no name.

so we walked, for three hours, in the endless road of rice fields,
only to get these anonymous shrines.
although, according to Wikipedia,
they are actually pretty much historically valuable.
one of those was constructed back in Nara period, and the big old tree there is almost 400 years old.

and the other has a history more than 2000 years, and manuscript in the shrine is now under the administration of the Imperial Household Agency.
(http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/粟鹿神社)
there should be myriads of nameless, unknown shrines like these all over Japan.
This fact brings resentment, however, it brings me relief and ease,
that how the lives of people or the society change,
it will stay there, as with nothing changes,
away from all the hustles and affairs.
