We had a walk through the village
and lovely park with deer so tiny &
tame they seem play things.
They eat little cakes out of you hand &
run after the jinrickisha to get
cake. The lanterns begin just as
you enter the park and are of every
variety form & size, old &
new. We saw first the Kasaga No
Miya, founded A.D. 707, a festival is
held there on the 17 of December,
Little tiny wooden toys "Nara Ningoya"
& the articles made from the deer
horns are sold we bought some
little fans. An open shed near the temple
is where the bramgow[?] used to come
and work. This now used on the
3rd of February by the town people
to scatter beans so as to send
away evil spirits. The main temple
called " Wakamiya" is built on the
side of the rock, that as you approach
seems part of the rock. 2 rows
of handsome stone lanterns lead
up to it and on the balcony are
many endless rows of brass and bronze
