Mazar-e Moe
According to Sheikh Al-Wikibidia, Mazar-e or Mazari is a Persian word which means ’shrine’. The most renown shrine in Afghanistan is Mazar-e Sharif which means ‘Noble Shrine’. A famous place for Shia’ Muslims. But my post today is not about that infamous shrine at all. It’s about the Moe Shrine in Japan. Only in Japan (because every weird stuff exists in this world is coming from there).
This Moe Shrine is basically just like any normal Shinto shrines in Japan. There are priests and maids who perform prayer ceremonies as well as other religious stuffs. Wait a minute… did I say Maid? Instead of normal miko girls who actually served with the shrine, this Moe Shrine has it’s own specialty that replacing the miko outfit with maid outfit. This is totally fabulous for those who have a fetishism with maids (including me and I haven’t created a gallery for that yet). Visitors may have taking pictures with them too.
Placed in Hachioji, Tokyo, it has quite a number of visits. It is said that there would be 50 people lined up in the morning before it’s open (9 am to 5 pm). What they have there? Apart for normal ceremonies, they have specialized omikuji papers for the visitors and also a maid cafe. Actually, the idea of having maids there is related with Hachioji festival held on 21-22 of November. So, for the two-day opening there, they have this sort of stuff. It’s a temple of full worldly desires.
