The cult of the Giant Amaryllis - from RCBz


I like to receive RCBz's japanesque cards, his wild imagination never fails to impress. Japan's Shintoism is largely based on Animism, and I'm not surprised if a shrine worshiping a giant amaryllis actually existed somewhere (it would be less weird than the cult of the Giant Penis in Kawasaki, true story, check it out).
I like the back of the card because the red symbol could also represent the typical gates of a shrine, to match the front, and I know how RCBz likes to play with the smallest details.
I'm the proud owner of Nr6 now, thanks RCBz!

A shepherdess - in I think Greek mythology, who pierced her heart with golden arrows for the love of a shepherd.
