A rare chance to see a German movie here (I hope Das Wunder von Bern will be next). Good bye, Lenin is the sometimes sad, sometimes funny story of an East-German family whose mother falls into a coma after a heart attack. During the eight months she misses, the German Democratic Republic, of which she was a model citizen and in which she invested all her energy, disintegrates. As her condition is still unstable and any stress or shock would be life-threatening, her son decides to hide the changes from her and creates an elaborate Socialist illusion.

There are big shrines and there are small shrines. Ebisu-jinja is definitely a small one. The caretaker is also running (from the same building on the shrine grounds) a car rental agency, which is why I got a business card in addition to the red ink seal.
