Guys,

Has anyone else in the UK received this? Kind of a strange email...

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Rika Saitoh, I am a Shinto priestess of Hachiman shrine in Japan . It is in Nara Prefecture and it was founded more than 1300 years ago for the protection of the old Nara capital. I found your address on your web page, which I found by following a link from Yahoo(I¡Ç(Bs web site.
I am sending mail to you in relation to a trip I am making to the UK this autumn. This is in connection with the proposal to establish a UK Shinto Shrine.

Please see this site for details...

In this regard I was interested to learn from the internet about your dojo and that you house a "kamidana" in it.
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to visit the dojo and perhaps carry out a service for you while I am in the UK .

I think that important for the spiritual upkeep of the "Budo".

If you are interested in this opportunity, I would be glad if you could send me a reply to this address. Once we have agreed on the nature of the visit, we can discuss dates and details.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Rika Saitoh
Chief priestess of Shinto shrine
