Colorful Monkeys

This is Kongou temple near to Houkan temple.
There are many colorful KUKURIZARU, which are for talisman to control human desire.

Interesting to say that this "Kukurizaru" first started in Edo era in1603.
Its general color is red but actually there are many colorful "Kukurizaru".
I think this shows that we need to use colorful colors to charm modern Japanese people.
