久しぶりの横浜中華街
先日、かなり久しぶりに横浜中華街に行った。
3年前くらいまでは、中華街近くの石川町に居たので、横浜中華街にはよく行っていた(歩いていた)。
犬と散歩とか、ランチとか、友達が遊びにきたら案内とか、パソコン持っていってカフェで仕事もしてた。
私にとって、横浜元町や桜木町、馬車道、関内などは、故郷のような場所。
さて。
これは、横浜媽祖廟。中華街の中にあります。
神様がたくさん祀られているところなので、たぶん日本の神社のような場所。
神様にも位があるようだし、祀られている神様によってパワースポットのパワーに違いがあるようで。
日本の神社関連でそんな話を聞いたことある。
だとすると、中国の神社みたいな横浜媽祖廟は、かなりすごいパワースポットなのかなぁ。
日本の出雲大社とか、伊勢神宮とか、日本三大稲荷の京都伏見稲荷や狐さんだらけの愛知豊川稲荷とか
それくらいにすごいところなのだろうか。
住んでた時から気になってたけれど、特に追求もせずに今日に至ってしまった。。。
とにかく、このギラギラしたこの輝きを見てると、パワーがみなぎってくる感じがするし、前を通るだけで心がパッと明るくなるし。
神社とかパワースポットとかに、あんまり興味がない人なので(撮影は好き)、こんな発言で申し訳ないのだけれども。
ところで、中華街の提灯も好き。
クネクネしてる。
ななめになってたりもして。
占いがある風景も面白い。
みんな、幸せになりますように🕊

Hello everyone. I'm very sorry I've been absent for awhile. I hope you're doing well.
I hope you don’t mind I want to post a little diary instead of art work this time. Recently, I visited Chinatown Storytelling Centre in Vancouver. I hope that I can do more to support them as well. If anyone is nearby please check out the exhibition.
I’m very happy I found Anita Mui photo book album that was published from 1987 by chance in the old magazine store hidden in the area.
There were a lot of things happened for the past few months. I‘ve started tattooing as my alternate work to support my personal projects and living besides working on illustrations. Due to a personal situation beyond my control, I will no longer be at my previous studio. Unfortunately, I was made to not feel safe in my previous workplace and experienced microaggressions time after time including harassment and homophobia. It has been one of the most difficult and painful time for me. I decided to move to the another studio which is a wonderful place that is diverse and supportive of LGBTQ and BIPOC. I've also created a new profile that I can be myself and do the style that I've always wanted to do. I will dedicate this account to tattoo work specially Instagram @ windflowerink I really appreciate your support and understanding. Thank you for being who you are and being here for me. I’ll continue to do my best to draw and share illustration to support our community. I hope you will look forward to them as well. Please take care.
Kitsilano beach, Vancouver BC.
