In the back right is the Hana-chōzu from the Kentōsai (Votive Light Festival) at Anamori Inari Jinja (Anamori Inari Shrine). A “Hana-chōzu” is a Purification hand water basin, originally for purifying hands and mouth before worship at shrines or temples, with flowers or fruits floating in it. In the front left is a small torii gate, a bamboo spout, and two Inari foxes, placed as part of a "Suikinkutsu". A “Suikinkutsu” is an underground cavity near the basin, where water drips down and creates a mysterious echoing sound. When you pour water over the Inari foxes, you can hear this curious sound from the bamboo spout.
