Lake Suwa, in Central Japan, freezes over if the link winter cold is deep enough, and as it does, giant pressure fissures that can be kilometers long form across its surface. These enormous ridges are said to be the track left by the Shinto deity, Takeminakata-no-kami, who is the patron deity of the link ancient Suwa Taisha Shrine. Legend has it that if the ice is thick enough, he departs his ancient abode to visit the deity, Yasakatome-no-kami – she is the resident link of the Lower Shrine of Suwa Taisha.
Earlier this year, I was an underbidder on a little Cartier Vendome from the estate of Neile Adams McQueen, the once-wife of Steve McQueen. It was engraved on the back, indicating it was a gift to her second husband on their wedding day in 1980. I thought it would've been link a fun, if slightly attenuated, connection to one link of the biggest actors of his day, who also happens to link mean a lot to the world of watch collecting.
