You can also choose which warlord is your favourite by the o-mamori charms you buy at the shrine. Me, I’m non-denominational. I got both the Uesugi and the Takeda charms.

Fun fact, though: if you go to the (supposed) site of the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, you can pray at a shrine that has a handrail that separates the “Uesugi” side from the “Takeda” side, so you can pray to your preferred dead warlord.

The general historical consensus is that the meeting between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen never happened. I am truly sorry.

This is your reminder that we have virtually no clue what happened at the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, any map of the battle is a shot in the dark, and the stories about what happened there are likely all made up. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Apparently all the photos of shrines didn’t make it into the initial post…

Found some lovely Earth shrines in Macao - from what I understand, very common in the Pearl River Delta and completely idiosyncratic and local. They are different everywhere you go.

Okonomiyaki and edamame with a dessert of sweet tofu. Can definitely get used to this.

What game am I really into right now? Silver Bayonet. Back to my mini wargame roots with a brilliant twist on Napoleonic warfare - essentially: what if Napoleon, but also zombies, werewolves, mummies, and Dracula? #silverbayonet

Going to Cong Dessert #聰嫂 for their famous #1 menu item? #Longan #natadecoco #pearl dessert is one of the coldest things I have ever experienced, and I'm a Canadian. Also try their #mangoLIZA - well worth the trip.
