This image captures a purification area at Okazaki Shrine in Kyoto, Japan. Centrally positioned is a large, dark, glossy, stylized statue of an upright rabbit resting on a grey stone pedestal. Behind the statue, a wooden lattice wall is densely covered with numerous rectangular wooden votive tablets (ema), many featuring illustrations of two white rabbits enclosed within a pink circular rope design. A wooden sign on the left, written in Japanese, confirms the location as Okazaki Shrine and provides instructions for the ritual, indicating a wish-making process involving pouring water on the rabbit. In the foreground, a rectangular stone purification basin shows signs of water streaks and wear. Two wooden ladles (hishaku) with long handles are placed across a green pipe or channel extending into the basin. On either side of the basin, bundles of natural bamboo poles are stacked horizontally. Overhead, dark wooden architectural elements with exposed beams and carved details are visible. A golden, ornate ceiling fixture with a central circular light source is positioned at the top center of the frame. No individuals are present in the scene.
