'24.7.15 佐久奈度神社にて

前回投稿の続きです。雨に降られて入った神社。静かな場所です。軒下お借りしつつ、気になるとこを撮ります。

川からは少し高台にあり、ここからも瀬田川の流れを見ることができました。このお社、奈良時代の創祀という歴史ある場所だそうで･･。

一時の雨だったようで止んできました。場所を移動してまた続く（･･予定ｗ）

’24.7.15 大滝(大津市 信楽川)にて

前回・前々回の投稿から続きます･･

行きとは違う道で撮りながら帰ろうと、信楽川沿いの国道を南下。道から急流が見えたので車を降りて撮影。後から調べたら大滝という名が付けられたスポットでした。ここもおそらく普段より水嵩が増して、弾ける川面からマイナスイオンがどばどばと出ている雰囲気でありました。

少し晴れ間も出てきて、気温がぐっと上がります。

Geiko Emiyuki 笑幸 from Otsu and Tayû Aoi 葵 from Kyoto, November 2020 For several years, I thought Yûko 夕子 was the only Geiko working in Otsu and when she retired around 2018, the city was left without any Geiko again. However, in 2020, at least two Geiko were working in the city: Emika 笑加, 90 years old at this time, and Emiyuki (pictured above). Emika's parents owned an Ochaya and initially, she didn't want to become a Geiko, but a teacher. She learned to read and write, opposed to most Geiko at the time of her debut, who only attended primary school. This makes me wonder how much truth there is to the statement that Yûko revived the Otsu Hanamachi when she started working there in 2012 and was the only Geiko in the entire city until her retirement...

Fun Trivia : Did you know Catfish exist in Japanese mythology called Namazu?

Legend has it that there was a giant underground catfish which causes earthquakes and lives under the islands of Japan.

It was believe to be have been spotted at Lake Biwa and there is an Otsu-e painting depicting the creature in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture.

So the producers of Shogun knew what they were doing when they created this scene of Yabu and Ishido about the supersition.

It happened when an eel fisherman reportedly spotted unusual active catfish in a river, followed by an earthquake.

Namazu was considered by the people to be "Yanaoshi Daimyojin" (God of World Rectification), an avenger of social injustice.

They believed the rich hoarded their wealth but were disgorged due to earthquake and redistribute to the people in rebuilding efforts.

Although Ishido repeatedly tries to deny it but you can tell that he is actually terrified knowing that his recent actions were "immoral".

Being born a peasant, he would believe the Namazu but pretend not to care to show his followers that he is not a peasant but a Samurai.

And the fact that Toranaga survived the earthquakes thrice implies that the Gods or Namazu have favored him over Ishido.

Toranaga probably believe in it to, thinking that Anjin is sent by the Gods to protect him. One reason he decides to keep him by his side.

Toranaga, being an opportunist and strategist, takes the earthquake as an omen that those who follow Ishida would be doomed.

Not only is he now a "rebel", being abandoned by the Taiko's heir and consort, Ochiba but also abandoned by the Gods.

Japanese religion and folklore brim with an astounding variety of deities and creatures, products of a polytheistic belief.

Richly varied in appearance and behaviour, this pantheon laid the groundwork for the Kaiju culture of modern era like Godzilla.

Some believe Godzilla to be simply a demonic but some believe it to be a wrath of the Gods sent to punish humans, like the Namazu.

A reason that I've always loved watching Japanese films is that there's always a mix of legends which adds to the mystery.
