Samukawa Envelopes

The two envelopes contain items we received from the Samukawa Shrine last year after we took part in a Shinto ceremony to pray for a good year and to ask that the "Gods" watched over us. In addition, the priest at the ceremony performed rites to ward off any evil or bad luck from our lives. 

This shot was originally rather bland. Added some slight saturation using editing software, which bad the blues almost look flourescent!
