Yeah, by tradition you have to show due respect for the spirits and provide them with the kind of things you'd expect people to have. It's an animistic tradition, pre-Buddhist, and common in many areas of the world in one form or another.

There's more on this in my portfolio 'Spirits of Place'.

Thanks for passing by. Good to hear from you.

Best wishes, Len

Very cool photo and interesting subject matter! Without knowing, what exactly is the spirit house for? I see you have some cups and food set out? Is that for good luck in your field/garden? Neat! Thanks for sharing
