All is clean and fresh -looking. A number of natives are moving about the enclosures, or looking in at the various smaller shrines ; some few are on their knees in the main temple, making their prayers to the patron god or deified hero, and throwing their money contributions into the large chest which stands in OSACA STREETS. 181 front of the railed portion : a few neatly-dressed priests or temple-keepers are also in attendance. In a corner of the enclosure of one of the temples is a handsome w...ooden canopy, under which is hung a large and fine-toned bell. In the streets hard by these temples are a number of shops for the sale of minature shrines, lamps, and a great variety of articles used in religious festivals and processions. Among these are a large number of bamboo, wooden, or paper tigers, which are largely used in the Matsuri, or festival, which has been in course of celebration during the last few nights. These Matsuri, though originally of a religious character, like other ancient dramatic festivals, seem now to be little else than holiday fairs, held at fixed times and in fixed places, and comprising theatrical performances, dancing, pro- cessions, illuminations, and general merry-making.
