Goose the Blog 2.0

Here is a link (via boingboing) to an interesting dioramic depiction of Buddhist hell at a Japanese tourist trap. The images are a bit gruesome and include nudity, but then again they are only odd little dolls. Don't be fooled - this description of hell predates Dante by about 300 years. Still, it features a river crossing, just like the Greek myth. There might be an interesting connection here, and my guess is Alexander the Great. Maybe the river is some kind of Jungian archetype - too bad the only thing I know about Jung's archetypes is that he had some.

Be careful if you decide to browse around the rest of the site - there is a lot of artistic photographic nudity, so it's probably not kid or work safe.
