I don't quite know how I have managed to visit Zuisenji for 8 years and never before notice the Mrs Tiggywinkle shrine.
[for the pedants: I'm fairly sure it is supposed to be a bear not a hedgehog... Having said that, if it were Mrs Tiggywinkle it would only mean that there was more than one shrine in Kamakura sporting anime characters...
for the extra very pedants: Zuisenji is a temple (Buddhism) not a shrine (Shinto), but as Buddhism likes to blend in with local religions, it is all a bit mixed up, and some temples contain shrine-like things]

I thought garden gnomes were too kitsch for those elegant Japanese.
Belette --- From my brief experiences in Japan, there are the elegant Japanese, the salarymen Japanese and the kitsch Japanese. Same in Germany.
Didn't see many kitsch Japanese last time I was in Germany :-)
James Annan --- Bet you didn't go to Bavaria. :-)
