FROM THE FAITHFUL
Much Money Collected In the
Temples of Japan. .t.
offertory Chests Yield Piles Of Small
Coin That Are Regularly Collect
ed and Applied to Needs Of
Edlfices.

Among the many oddities In Japan
which are enormously big In the out
ward form, but are in reality exceed
ingly small. We must count the Kwan-
non Of Askusa. which Is scarcely three
inches In height and yet Is housed In
colossal edifice known as the Kwan-
non Temple.
On the other hand. there are not q
few things which at first sight appear
extremely small and insignificant and
which in truth assume gigantic dimen-
sions. TO this latter category belongs
the saisen (offerings) daily, hourly.
nay. every minute. increasingly thrown
into the offertory chests before the
same Kwan-non Temple Of Askusa.
The Nichi Nichi has an interesting
paragraph concerning the receipts Of
the Kwan-non Temple accruing from
the 20 offertory boxes placed at va
rious places within the temple com.
pound. The following is the latest
information upon the subject:
At certain stated days all the saisen
Golfers are emptied under the joint su.

and mountains of coins Of various de-
scriptions are piled up. One-half Of
these coins are five rim coppers, while
40 per cent. Of the whole are sen
coins, the remainder being nickels,
small silver and old-fashioned rim
coins with square holes. Sometimes
the priests find paper money, even of
as high denomination as yen and 10
yen.
Every 10 days these heterogeneous
masses OF small coins are exchanged
into convenient and uniform currency
or checks. Two money changers named
Messrs. Yamada and Hayakawa are
regularly intrusted with this custom.
The receipts vary according to vari-
GUS seasons, and in the festive season
OF the flower season. such as the pres
ent. no less than 1900 yen is obtained
every 10 days. Even when the sea-
son is unfavorable the receipts will
not go below 700 or 800 yen, and the
average monthly income from the 20
offertory Golfers amount to 1000
yen.
The manner Of exchange is some
what unique. 1t is not conducted on
the commission basis usually adopt
ed. The coins are exchanged, not ad
valorem, but specifically, so to say.
All the coins are jumbled out upon
large scales and weighed, and the ex-
changers take them all indiscriminate-
ly by weight. paying S yen for every
kwan Of the heterogeneous coins.
The regular monthly takings Of L.
900 yen from the offertory chests
alone Is certainly a good income; but
we are reminded at the same time
that the expenditures betrayed by the
temple authorities regularly is by no
means inconsiderable. When we are
told that for the repairs Of the temple
buildings alone an outlay Of from
5000 yen to 10000 yen is required per
annum We can form some idea OF the
expenses in other directions.
