New sushi…

I’m very excited.  There’s a new sushi shop opening up right near my apartment.  Every day I walk past and check on its progress.  I’ve watched it being refitted inside and decorated outside, and it looks like it should be opening pretty soon.

Today, when I walked past, I saw something I had never seen before.  It didn’t feel appropriate to get too close and take a picture, but I really wanted to…

Kneeling inside the shop was a monk, in full monk’s gear.  He was knelt at a sort of make-shift alter, with a candle lit, and he appeared to be praying.  I assume he was blessing the new shop or something.

The workers were all looking on, and I just glanced in and passed by quickly.  But how cool is that?
