Photo op with the Nio guardians
In *Encouragement of Climb: Third Season*, the mountain-climbing girls, while visiting a mountain temple, first pass by a pair of imposing Nio guardian statues. They stop before them, gazing up at these protectors, and one character mimics the statues' pose, drawing laughter from her friends. The camera lingers on the fierce faces and muscular limbs of the Nio statues, with the temple's wooden gate and stone steps in the background.
