Was walking past a park in Arakawa the other day and came across this interesting statue.

I think the name is read as Honda Takatomo 本田 貴侶 but it was difficult to find any information. I kept finding stuff showing the same statue but instead of "聖なるもののリピドー" they all show "聖なるもののリビドー"

I'm not sure what the differences are though.
Perhaps there are multiple statues in different locations?
All the ones I saw referred to this statue in Arakawa though so maybe there's a misprint or something?

Also I'm not sure what "リピドー" or "リビドー" means, but if anyone has any idea about what the statue's meaning is I'd love to hear it!

Either way it's a nice looking statue. I always enjoy finding things like this around different parts of Japan, they really add to the atmosphere of the city.

Decided to donate some clothes I wasn't wearing anymore over the weekend so I decided to go to the Second Street in Minami-Senju. Managed to find some cool stuff along the way. I was walking from Minowabashi and saw this nice looking temple, apparently called Koshunin 公春院. It was a really lovely spot and I would have liked to take more photos but I had some luggage with me and also wanted to avoid taking any photos of the tombstones as I thought it might be rude. It seems the temple focus on memorial services though and looked like a nice place. The next spot I came across was just a really small shrine that seemed so randomly placed that I wanted to take a picture of it. There wasn't much space inside the shrine are so it was quite difficult to get a decent photo, but I did the best that I could and tried to take a photo from the side street next to it which was also incredibly narrow lol. The last thing I ended up finding was a statue of Matsuo Basho! I'd not been to Minami-Senju as I've never really had a reason to go there, but I saw the statue from the corner of my eye and thought "Hmm I wonder if that's Basho" and sure enough it was. It even has "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" 奥の細道 written below it. Also, apparently there is debate about which "Senju" he started at Adachi or Arakawa, so this is one of the statues depicting the place where he started his journey! It ended up being a pretty interesting walk. I'd like to visit the area again as there was a ton of cool stuff.

先日は書くスペースが足りなかったのですが、先日埼玉県西大宮にある福田稲荷神社を訪れた後、駅帰りに小さなタイ料理店「マンゴーツリーカフェ」というカフェに立ち寄りました。 私たちはすでに食べていたので、座ってすべてのウォーキングからリラックスし、寒さから休憩したかっただけです。フローズンドリンクとマンゴーアイスクリームを注文しましたが、どれもとても美味しかったです。アイスクリームは最高だったと思いますが、写真は撮れませんでした。 スイカのフローズンジュースを注文して、なかなか美味しかったのですが、アンチャンマナオネードというものが入っていて、ブルーティーとか「バタフライピーフラワーティーアデ」とか笑。 ハーブティーの一種だと思いますが、面白そうでした。私はそれを手に入れることを考えていましたが、私はそれを前に聞いたことがなかったので、安全側にとどまり、ただスイカを手に入れることにしました。 この場所は東京の他の場所とチェーンレストランであることがわかっているので、次回はおそらく試してみます。それに、私はタイ料理を実際に食べたことがないので、気分転換に試してみるのはいいことです
