On my way to Tokyo, I stopped at Kita-Kamakura Station, close to a cluster of temples. Wandering with curiosity, I took this picture, thinking, funny how this symbol resembles something I know.

Later, looking it up, I learned it’s the emblem of the Hōjō clan, who once ruled over Kamakura and it closely resembles the symbol used in one of my favorite game franchises!
