Kojin Mask (158/365)

A coworker of mine is about to embark on a month-long trip to Singapore and Japan. In discussing her itinerary, we talked about various cultural events. And I spoke to her of my Kojin mask. 

This was given to me by an older gentleman who handcrafts them. It hangs in my front entrance, way up high over the doorway. It wards evil spirits from the home (man, was it working at all last year?!?!) and protects those who live here. 

It makes me smile with the memory of my three years in Japan.
