Hase-dera, the (Buddhist) Temple of Hare, is best known for its large Kannon statue. (Unfortunately could not be photographed!) According to legend, it was washed ashore by the sea in 736 near the city of Kamakura. Since then it has been placed in the temple built for this purpose.
Explanation of some pictures:
Fig.1: Wooden main entrance gate with a large lampion / Fig.3: Water point for ritual cleaning / Fig.4-7: Jizo figures; Jizo is a Bodhisattva (Enlightened One) who accompanies the souls of the deceased - especially the unborn, premature or aborted children - into the underworld; Fig. 4: traditional Jiso figure with a red bib; Fig. 5 - 6: 'modern' Jizo figures; Fig.7: Mostly small Jizo figures erected by the parents / Fig.9: Inari shrine; Inari is god of fertility, rice and foxes in the Shinto / Fig.11: Covered container for incense sticks in front of the main building / Fig.12: Main building

By the way: "Hase" means a district in Kamakura; the word has nothing to do with German "Hase". In addition, "s" is spoken unvoiced in Japanese!
