Az utolsó napom Narában. Lesétáltam pár kilométert és meglátogattam néhány eldugott kis szentélyt. Az első a Hassho Goryo Jinja, amiről szégyen szemre nem sokat tudok. Mindössze annyit, hogy 780 környékén épült és az Akishino-dera templomhoz tartozik. A második a Hachiman Jinja, amelynek meglehetősen lényegre törő nevéből is látjuk, hogy egy Hachiman szentély, de sajnos többet nem tudok róla.

Harmadik pedig a Narazuhiko Jinja, ami a minden év októberében megrendezett Okinamai fesztiválról híres. Úgy tartják, hogy az itt bemutatásra kerülő Okina tánc közel 1300 éves tradíció, és a tradicionális nó színház eredete is erre vezethető vissza. A szentély vadregényes hátsó traktusában egy hatalmas, gyönyörű szent fa is található.

Nara egyébként Oszaka és Tokió, sőt, még Kiotó után is elképesztően vidékies. Jó volt itt eltölteni ezt a pár napot, de amit látni lehetett, azt nagyjából láttam. Holnap már újra Oszakában leszek, ahonnan sajnos szerdán repülök Budapestre. Addig viszont még van pár nap, amik előreláthatólag nagyon izgalmasak lesznek. Különösen a holnapi.
Végezetül pedig néhány random kép a sétáról.

Taishidō Hachiman Jinja in Setagaya has several rabbits on its premises. The shrine is tranquil thanks to its trees, but also irresistibly cute. Evidence supplied above, including the rabbits Chamu and Bubu.

Hello! I just saw your post about the conference. I know it's very niche, but I'd love to hear / read more about your sangaku presentation. I actually went back to Konnō Hachiman-gū this afternoon, hoping to see more examples, but no such luck. (I cannot decipher them, of course, but I taught English at a faculty of engineering, and my students could. Sometimes. )
I'll put together something about the shrine, but どうぞお先に。Nudge nudge hint hint.
Hi, thanks for the message!
The presentation was in two main parts: first the historical context of the Edo period and function of sangaku in developing mathematics during that time, and second a closer look at Kashihara Miminashi Yamaguchi-jinja's example with a modern solution. I can't read the sangaku in full, but I have been able to pick out the parts with numbers and compare some of their results with the formulas.
I can probably put together a mini-series at some point. Which parts would you want to hear more about? (That's a general question btw: anyone can reply and add the conversation of course.)

Torii
The Origins of Torii
There are two kinds of Sandō (road that approaches the shrine), a road that comes from a town or city and continues to the shrine, and the road from the entrance of the shrine to the Haiden (Prayer Hall) • Honden (Main Hall). Both are sacred roads in which visitors walk, and mikoshi are carried along the path. Therefore in order to demarcate the sacred land, torii, koma inu, stone lanterns, etc… are placed. Koma inu, and stone lions will be discussed later on, here is where torii are being discussed. In fact the origin of Torii is not clear. From extant examples and paintings in picture scrolls, it is known that a similar type of torii existed in the 12th century, but it is not known when and for what purpose they were built.
Why are there so many different types of Torii?
The present torii gate functions as a symbolic gateway, indicating that the area inside (beyond) the gateway is sacred ground. It also serves as a warning that any disrespectful behavior beyond the gate will result in punishment. Another feature of torii gates is that there are many types. It is said that the shape of the torii may have indicated the type of kami, but this is not certain. The form can be broadly classified into the Shinmei type and the Myojin type. While the Shinmei type is simple, the Myojin type is highly decorative and sometimes painted in vermilion. This may be related to the fact that Myojin-style torii are often erected at shrines of common people’s beliefs, as they have a strong sense of Shinto/Buddhist syncretism.

0060 kingyo jingu 金魚神宮:
Tumblr media
kingyo jingu is an ethereal place, and celebrating its 10th year. Giant goldfish inside the Shrine give it its name. There are also fish swimming in the tank/counter of the cafe and in suspended fishbowls (the cat does not seem particularly interested in them), where you can stop for a snack. You can pick up a lovely Hamaya for the Year of the Dragon, and you can also take fuda home with you- the strips of paper with writing you may have seen at other Shrine offices, which you can display at home for protection and luck from the deity of this place. "Jingu" instead of "jinja" can mean this is a larger Shrine, or a imperial Shrine (however the exact rules on the difference varied over the centuries)- in the case of 0037 Salmaru Grand Shrine with the additional prefix of "big" it was translated as "Grand Shrine", and this is also the same "gu" as in Hachimangu for Hachiman Shrines. I have (mostly!) tried to avoid the pedantry of getting into the translations, but sometimes the proper Japanese name can give you more insight into the character of a place.

Japan that no one knows. Don't kill them
Sakurada Shrine   3 2 17 Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo Near Roppongi Hills
This shrine is located near Roppongi Hills, a building that symbolizes the city.
From the anecdote of Minamoto no Yoritomo, it seems as if cherry trees have been planted to connect with the people of the past. Upon entering the shrine grounds, it is very quiet. The events of the Heian period seem to come back to life today. A small Inari-san sits to the right of the main shrine and I almost overlooked it. This is also an important deity. I hope you will visit and like this comfortable shrine.

On Yorishiro
Tumblr media
Image Source: Daihou Hachimangu
A yorishiro is a vessel in which kamisama can be called down into and reside, temporarily or longer-term. Examples of this include shide, rocks (especially large ones), islands, and so on. Most Japanese laypeople do not make yorishiro because they have access to shrines distributing ofuda, but for a lot of overseas Shintō practitioners it is a good alternative when obtaining an ofuda is difficult. To be specific, this should only be done when you have no way of obtaining an ofuda for the kamisama you would like to worship. Even then, you can practice 遥拝 yōhai, which is to pray in the direction of the shrine you would like to pray at. Ofuda are always the best option. This is also very different from making an ofuda, which should never be done by a layperson.
What is a yorishiro?
The Kokugakuin University dictionary defines it as follows:
The place (or object or person) inhabited by a kami's spirit when it descends for a religious ceremony or when possessing a person. Yorishiro may be natural objects such as trees or rocks, or implements prepared for use in rituals, such as pillars, banners, or ritual emblems called gohei. In those cases in which a human acts as a yorishiro, he or she is referred to as yorimashi. Yorishiro may also be called tsukawashime or osakigami ("servant familiars") based on the concept that kami may possess and use feral dogs, wolves, monkeys, and birds as their familiars. Ancient forms of yorishiro include himorogi (divine trees), iwasaka (rock cairns), and the various hand-held ritual implements generally referred to as torimono. In particular, the rituals at himorogi and iwasaka reflect the belief that kami make their presence known in ritual sites with natural forests, groves, and rocks; this belief led to practices such as erecting trees in ritual sites and decorating them with objects into which the kami might descend.   Many different forms of yorishiro exist, ranging from the large cones of sand seen in the Miare shinji of the Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine, to the "heart pillars" (shin no mihashira) of the Grand Shrines of Ise, the log pillars (mihashira) seen in the Onbashirasai of the Upper and Lower Suwa Shrines, the shibasashi of the Usa Hachiman Shrine, and the ohake or osashibō used at local shrines to mark the house of the lay priest for that year (see tōya).
How to Handle and Create a Yorishiro
A yorishiro is treated with the utmost care and respect. Your hands must be clean when handling one, and you should try to be clothed in not-pajamas (not necessarily formalwear -- just clothes that are what you'd wear normally). You can use a mirror, such as the ones commonly placed on kamidana (that are purchaseable online) or use a stone and other such natural item if that makes sense to you. Make sure to purify it before placing it on your kamidana, and to remember that a yorishiro cannot be repurposed once consecrated. For purifying the item to be turned into a yorishiro, you may chant Ōharae no Kotoba and sprinkle salt on it.
How to Create a Gohei
A gohei is a paper and wood yorishiro that is often seen at shrines, but is appropriate for home worship as well, especially if you are unable to access an ofuda. It is important to do this with clean hands and in a clean setting.
Here is some footage of a person folding some gohei. The knife/scissors etc. you use to cut the paper should be dedicated to this purpose. Rice paper is cut and folded into a specific shape (known as shide), and the wood holding the paper (heigushi) should be wood or bamboo. It seems that most people recommend securing the shide onto the heigushi with clean or pure hemp string. @livingwithkami advised me that some clergy specifically advise to use knives (i.e. X-Acto knife style knives) and cutting mats instead of scissors. It's also worth noting that both these videos do treat the paper a little roughly. If you make a mistake, you must start over again from the beginning. Create gohei with a sincere and pure heart, and keep in mind that this is an item that is for kamisama -- this is why so much care goes into making it.

Some further photos of gohei creation from Kino Atago Jinja
Similarly, but from Tsurugamine Kumano Jinja
A handy diagram on the first two pages here
There are different shapes for some kamisama, but a lot of this can depend on the shrine or family, etc. This simple lightning shape is almost universally used and therefore I recommend it the most.
Enshrining a Gohei
Enshrining a gohei is not too dissimilar from enshrining an ofuda -- make sure it stays upright on your kamidana. There are stands for gohei to this end that you can purchase online or make yourself. Other than that, standard protocols apply.

No Santuário Amakashinimasu-jinja, consagrado à Imperatriz Suiko, a primeira mulher a ascender ao Trono do Japão
Por Cláudio Tsuyoshi Suenaga (texto e fotos)
O santuário xintoísta (jinja) Amakashinimasu está localizado na colina (de apenas 148 metros de altura) Amakashi-no-Oka no vilarejo (mura) de Asuka, condado de Takaichi-gun, Prefeitura de Nara (626 Toyoura, Asuka, Takaichi District, Nara 634-0107). Era um Shikinai-sha (santuário listado nas antigas leis de Engishiki, livro japonês de leis e normas completado em 927 d.C.) e foi categorizado como um santuário de aldeia no antigo ranking de santuários.
O santuário é consagrado à primeira mulher a ascender ao Trono do Crisântemo, a Imperatriz Suiko (554-628, que reinou a partir de 592), o 33° Imperador do Japão.

O Amakashinimasu-jinja está localizado logo atrás do Toyurano-miya, o palácio onde Suiko foi entronizada, e topograficamente fica na área sinuosa do rio Asuka. Diz-se que a própria Suiko andou sobre os paralelepípedos desgastados que remanescem aqui, onde os pilares ficavam.

Sobre estes paralelepípedos desgastados que remanescem teria caminhado a Imperatriz Suiko. Foto: https://asuka-japan-heritage.jp/global/en/suiko/detail/toyuramiyaato_s.html
Suiko, a segunda filha do Imperador Kimmei (509-571, que reinou a partir de 539) com Soga no Kitashihime, casou-se com o Imperador Bidatsu (538-585, que reinou a partir de 561) quando tinha 18 anos.
Maruyama (Montanha Redonda), em Asuka, no sul de Nara, o maior kofun de Nara e o sexto maior kofun, ou antigo túmulo, de todo o Japão, seria um dos locais de descanso do Imperador Kimmei, e de sua consorte Soga no Kitashihime, pais da Imperatriz Suiko. Os restos mortais de Kimmei e Kitashihime, contudo, não estariam em Maruyama, mas no Kimmei Tenno-ryo em Asuka. O Nihon Shoki afirma que quando Suiko enterrou novamente sua mãe, ela fez uma prece na estrada em Karu (agora Ogaru, Kashihara). Mas o livro não dá a localização do mausoléu.
Tumblr media
Foto que tirei do kofun de Maruyama, que mede 318 metros de comprimento e 21 metros de altura e apresenta um formato típico de buraco de fechadura ou jarra de maná, visto do alto.
Após a morte de Bidatsu, Yōmei (540-587, irmão de Suiko) chegou ao poder, mas morreu cerca de dois anos depois. Uma luta pelo poder se seguiu entre os clãs Soga e Mononobe, com os Soga apoiando o príncipe Hatsusebe, e os Mononobe apoiando o príncipe Anahobe. Na Batalha de Shigisan, os Mononobe foram derrotados, e assim o príncipe Hatsusebe é coroado Imperador Sushun em 587.
No entanto, Sushun começou a ressentir-se do poder de Soga no Umako (551-626), que ajudou a promover o budismo no Japão empregando imigrantes vindos da China e Coreia, e que provavelmente foi enterrado no kofun de Ishibutai, também na cidade de Asuka, em Nara, a maior estrutura megalítica do Japão, a qual pude visitar e pesquisar pessoalmente. Confira:
Soga no Umako, talvez por medo de que Sushun viesse a atacar primeiro, mandou Yamatoaya no Ataikoma assassiná-lo em 592. Quando lhe pediram para aceitar o trono para preencher o vácuo de poder que se abriu, Suiko tornou-se em 593 a primeira de várias imperatrizes, que são assim escolhidas para evitar uma luta sangrenta pelo poder.
Ela é ali uma shusaijin (principal divindade consagrada) entre as demais: Hachiman-gu no kami (deus do arco e flecha e da guerra), Amaterasu-ōmikami ("a Grande Deusa Augusta que Ilumina o Céu", da qual o Imperador do Japão diz ser um descendente direto), Yatagarasu no kami (o "Corvo de Três Patas Mensageiro do Céu") e Sumiyoshi Daimyojin ("Grande Divindade Brilhante").
Magatsuhi no kami (Maga significa "desastre", tsu significa "de", e hi significa "espírito divino", ou seja, "deus do desastre") e Naobi no kami (divindades de purificação e remoção de calamidades) são as divindades originais, conforme mencionado no Gogun Jinja-ki (Registro de Santuários em Cinco Condados). Foi logo após o Período Edo (1603-1868) que a Imperatriz Suiko foi consagrada como um shusaijin. Diz-se que este santuário foi fundado por Takenouchi no Sukune, também chamado Takeshiuchi no Sukune (64-344), um estadista e herói lendário da História do Japão, adorado como um deus no xintoísmo.
Tumblr media
Takenouchi no Sukune desenhado por Kikuchi Yosai.
Takenouchi no Sukune era descendente do Imperador Kōgen (273-158 a.C.), o 8º Imperador do Japão. Takenouchi serviu a pelo menos cinco imperadores lendários (Keiko, Seimu, Chuai, Ojin e Nintoku), mas é mais conhecido por seu serviço como primeiro-ministro da Sesshō Jingū (Sesshō era o título dado a um regente nomeado para ajudar um imperador ou uma imperatriz até atingir a idade adulta), quando ajudou a Imperatriz-consorte Jingū (169-269) a preparar a invasão ao Reino de Silla. Pouco depois, Takenouchi foi acusado de traição. Ele foi submetido ao Kukatachi (uma forma de julgar colocando a mão em água fervente) para provar sua inocência.
A colina Amakashi-no-oka é o lugar onde a prova do Kukatachi era conduzida nos tempos antigos. Por isso o santuário é descrito como Yugisho no Kami ("o deus dos testemunhos com água fervente") no Gogun Jinja-ki (Registro de Santuários em Cinco Condados), escrito no período medieval.
Tumblr media
O cartaz diz: "Kugatachi, Julgamento nos Tempos Antigos".
Além de ter prestado serviços militares a esses imperadores, Takenouchi no Sukune era também um Saniwa (médium espiritual). A lenda diz que por ter bebido água diariamente de um poço sagrado, viveu até os 280 anos de idade. Vinte e oito clãs japoneses afirmam ser descendentes dele, incluindo os clãs Ki, Katsuragi, Heguri, Kose e Soga.
Takenouchi no Sukune é avô de Takenouchi no Matori, também chamado de Heguri no Matori, ministro da corte do Japão durante o Período Kofun (250 a 538 d.C.), que redigiu em uma mistura de caracteres japoneses e chineses a partir de documentos originais milenares escritos em Jindai Mōji ("a escrita da época dos deuses"), os controversos manuscritos Takenouchi Monjo, que conta uma história apócrifa não só do Japão como da humanidade, desde o início da criação até o surgimento do cristianismo, e antes dos registros do Kojiki (o livro mais antigo sobre a história do Japão) e do Nihon Shoki (Crônicas do Japão, o segundo livro mais antigo sobre a história do Japão). Os documentos de Takenouchi foram preservados pela família deste, de geração em geração, e mantidos dentro do Santuário Kousokoutai Jingu, na cidade de Ibaraki-shi, Prefeitura de Ibaraki, ate que em 1935, Kiyomaro Takeuchi, o caçula de uma estirpe de sacerdotes xintoístas, os descobriu.
Tumblr media
Parte do que seriam os documentos Takenouchi Monjo originais contando a história da presença de Jesus Cristo no Japão.
De tão explosivos e controversos, o governo japonês ordenou que os documentos Takenouchi Monjo fossem trancados em um museu em Tóquio e mantidos longe da vista do público. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, Tóquio foi severamente bombardeada e o museu com todos os documentos foi supostamente destruído. Felizmente, a família Takeuchi havia feito cópias dos documentos antes de entregá-los ao governo. São essas cópias preservadas que podem ser vistas no Santuário Kousokoutai Jingu.
Os manuscritos Takenouchi falam de uma Era Dourada em nosso passado remoto em que a humanidade vivia em paz e harmonia, unida sob o governo mundial do filho de um Deus Supremo, e cuja sede estava localizada nas montanhas de Hida, ou Alpes setentrionais, uma cordilheira que atravessa as províncias de Nagano, Toyama e Gifu. O Santuário Kousokoutai Jingu era o mais sagrado de todos, tanto que todas as cinco raças da humanidade visitavam o santuário para celebrar um festival anual, e muitos grandes líderes espirituais o teriam frequentado para estudos e aperfeiçoamento espiritual, entre eles Moisés, Buda, Lao Tsé, Confúcio, Mêncio, Jesus Cristo e Mohammed.
Os documentos afirmam que Sumera-Mikoto, uma antiga palavra japonesa para "Filho do Sol", uma vez que os imperadores descenderiam do Deus Sol, fazia frequentes excursões por todo o mundo a bordo de um "navio voador" chamado Ameno-ukifune ("navio flutuante"). Os locais onde estes navios desembarcaram foram denominados "hane" ("ventos"), daí que muitos lugares no Japão tenham nomes que incluem a palavra "hane", como o Aeroporto de Haneda, em Tóquio.
Como os Jindai Mōji são uma invenção que data, no máximo, da época de Kamakura (1192-1333), ou seja, sua inexistência antes dessa data é corroborada pelas obras mais antigas do Japão, como os já mencionados Kojiki e Nihonshoki, que descrevem a chegada e a adoção da escrita chinesa em um arquipélago japonês que não tinha escrita, toda a credibilidade dos documentos Takenouchi Monjo fica comprometida. Ademais, a transcrição a partir dos originais foi feita por ninguém menos do que o astroarqueólogo e ufólogo Wado Kosaka (1947-2002), que não se fez de rogado e incluiu descrições de como os ancestrais da raça humana vieram do espaço sideral, do que aconteceu com a Atlântida, e, claro, onde Jesus Cristo terminou sua vida. O especialista em religião da Universidade de Quioto, Toji Kamata, classificou os documentos de “fakelore”.
Mas voltando ao Amakashinimasu-jinja, há um megálito em seu recinto, uma pedra gigantesca em forma de placa de gnaisse com 3 metros de altura chamada Tateishi. Há um buraco na frente dela, e o caldeirão usado para os rituais é colocado nesta parte. Ainda nos dias atuais, uma cerimônia chamada Meishintanyu Shinji é realizada no mês de abril.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
O Tateishi, um megático de gnaisse de 3 metros de altura, envolto pela corda shimenawa, um resquício da influência do judaísmo no Japão.
Conforme explico em meu livro recém-lançado pela Editora Revista Enigmas, As Raízes Hebraicas da Terra do Sol Nascente: O Povo Japonês Seria uma das Dez Tribos Perdidas de Israel?, na religião xintoísta há o costume de cercar um local sagrado com uma corda chamada shimenawa, que tem pedaços de papel branco inseridos ao longo da borda inferior da corda. A corda shimenawa é definida como limite. A Bíblia diz que quando Moisés recebeu os Dez Mandamentos de Deus no Monte Sinai, ele “estabeleceu limites” em torno dele para os israelitas não se aproximarem (Êxodo 19:12). Embora a natureza desses “limites” não seja conhecida, cordas podem ter sido usadas. A corda japonesa shimenawa pode então ser um costume originário do tempo de Moisés. O padrão em ziguezague de papéis brancos inseridos ao longo da corda remete aos trovões no Monte Sinai.
Saiba mais em meu quinto e mais novo livro
AS RAÍZES HEBRAICAS DA TERRA DO SOL NASCENTE: O POVO JAPONÊS SERIA UMA DAS DEZ TRIBOS PERDIDAS DE ISRAEL?
Tumblr media
Sinopse: Algumas das maiores influências do Japão vieram de contatos com hebreus. Não só os mitos de origem, a genealogia divina, os rituais e os costumes são semelhantes, como a estrutura dos santuários xintoístas é equivalente ao Templo de Jerusalém, e o Mikoshi (santuário xintoísta portátil transportado em festas) é assaz parecido com a Arca da Aliança em tamanho e forma. Arca que muitos garantem estar escondida no Monte Tsurugi, na ilha de Shikoku, província de Tokushima. Além disso, na língua japonesa existem várias palavras hebraicas com a mesma pronúncia e o mesmo significado. Mas haveria algum fundamento na teoria da ancestralidade comum nipo-judaica, surgida no começo do século XVII, que afirma que o povo japonês pertence às Doze Tribos de Israel? Teriam os japoneses sangue hebreu correndo em suas veias? Seria esse o motivo de muitos judeus estarem discretamente adquirindo terras em várias partes do Japão? Você irá saber as respostas para tudo isso e muito mais ao refazer conosco o percurso milenar de judeus que ajudaram a forjar tanto o Japão antigo como o de hoje.

MYTHOS UNIVERSITY
Hidden from the rest of the world (for the safety of the normal humans and creatures) this university are where the children of  gods and goddesses , as well as monsters, learn to control their powers as well as learn other subjects. There has always been some sort of competition between the monsters and demigods, to see which was more superior to each other. For years the demigods looked down upon the monsters, but in these highschools everyone is treated equally. However there is bound to be some sort of rivalry between the two. Each of the dorms have a rivalry going on with each other and it's not unusual to see them pulling pranks or boasting about who's better.

Rules
Reply to this post to claim a monster/demigod.
No more than two of the same monster/demigod can be used.
Be kind to one another, if you are not you will be removed from the bandwagon.
Limit of two characters to a person, if this gets more popular the limit will increase.
You can suggest more mythos as the bandwagon gets bigger!
If you join, we have a discord you can join as well!

Tumblr media
Apo Hachimangu is a Shrine that you might find surprising- while it looks traditional and staid from the outside, walk inside to see the courtyard with neon lights and a floating dance floor, to celebrate Hachiman with regular dance parties. Waaaaay down the list at 0055 Ouse Jinja we will be back in the neighborhood- but on an entirely different level, that is on the ground.
