It truly breaks my heart to say this...
Every day now, it feels like another irreplaceable piece of Japan’s ancient heritage — our shrines and temples — is being lost to fire.
The causes remain shrouded in mystery, the culprits unidentified in case after case.
There have even been devastating tragedies where innocent young children lost their lives in the flames.
I’ve also heard that facilities belonging to certain religions never seem to face the same fate.
I’m reaching out because I genuinely wonder: how is it in your countries?
If anyone has any insights, information, or suggestions that could help shed light on this or protect what remains of our sacred places, it would mean the world to me.
Please...
I can’t stop crying.
Now a temple in Hokkaido has burned down.
Seriously, who did this?
I can’t forgive it.
