Shrine Maiden

Description

Taken at Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya City, one of the most sacred shrines of Japan. This is the supposed home of one of the three sacred treasures of Japan - the sacred sword Kusanagi. This shrine maiden is raking the stones near the money offering part of the temple. It was late in the day but still there were a lot of people throwing money and praying. I heard that nearly 8 million people visit this shrine - and before I thought Nagoya had nothing cultural to offer.

Excuse me, I'm doing a project on Nagoya Japan for school where I have to make a slideshow. Is it okay if I use your picture in the slideshow? The slideshow won't likely be shared with anyone other than just my class.
