Japanese Blessings

Shinto, the Japanese religion, it's a custom for the priest to come and bless your home. They built an altar inside and I put my own little blessing signs on it, maybe you can see them in the photo, the little white rectangles. The priest said it was a good thing. I have a lot of hopes for living here. I believe they can all come true. The fun part of the blessing was throwing rice and sake all over the house and outside the house!
