I took a photo in /kyoto! I love collecting Omamori, which are Japanese amulets sold at temples and shrines that provide luck or protection. This one was a collaboration event with Japan Rail and has a Shinkansen on it! I tried to line up the shot to match the art. Taken at Nanzen-ji which is a gorgeous Buddhist temple.
