Hojoe Festival - June 3rd - Gion Shirakawa Tatumi-bashi Bridge

The Hojoe festival is known as one of the three major Hakata festivals. The festival itself originated from a Buddhist ceremony for releasing fish and birds back into the wild, based on the old precept in that religion against the killing of animals.

The Shintoists liked it so much they adopted it as well, and the festival is conducted at other Hachiman shrines throughout the country. (source)

Wagashi (和菓子) is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served with tea. Wagashi are considered more healthful because they are made entirely from plant-based ingredient. They are extremely suited to artistic manipulation, and to visual representation of a variety of symbolic elements. (x) (x)

I LOVE LUSH! Read on….

imgonnapeeorange:

Why doesn’t tumblr ever talk about LUSH cosmetics? All of their products are handmade & vegetarian, & most of them are vegan. The vegan products are clearly marked, so it’s not some big search for vegan customers to figure out what they can use & what they can’t. Only food grade oils are used in their products- because if you wouldn’t put it in your body, why would you put it on your body? They’re fighting to end animal testing, & they give rewards for customers who bring in old containers to be recycled.

Not to mention, their products are of an extremely high quality- again, using only food grade oils & ingredients, with your best interests at heart. And yeah, maybe it’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I can’t stress this enough- everything is extremely high quality & will make you look and feel better than before you began using it.

Trust me- if you’re still feeling skeptical, find a store. Go in. Ask the staff about the products- I’ve been to many LUSH locations, & the staff at all of them is always extremely kind and willing to answer any questions you may have & suggest products for first time visitors. If you tell them it’s your first time in the store, they’ll explain a few of their most popular products, tell you about the company & its values, & even use one of their scrubs & some moisturizer on your hands & arms to show you how awesome their products can make you feel.

HI I WORK FOR LUSH

Montaña Mágica Lodge

Deep in southern Chile lies the Montaña Mágica Lodge (Magic Mountain Lodge). An extraordinary hotel hidden in the center of a 300,000 acre private nature reserve. The small, 13 room hotel is built in the shape of a volcano that spews water instead of lava. The exterior is covered in rainforest moss and vines and its entrance is only accessible via a suspended, swinging rope bridge. The outdoor hot tubs are carved from the trunks of giant trees. The lodge is located in Los Rios which is within the stunning Huilo-Huilo Unesco biosphere reserve, 242 square miles of lush nature, filled with wildlife.
