sake barrels at the entrance to the Meiji Shrine in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, Japan

These empty ceremonial sake barrels are located in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park. The barrels are displayed on a wall and sit just outside the entrance to the Meiji Shrine. I was fascinated by the multitude of designs on the barrels, and thought it would make a good picture.
