Kyoto's Rabbit Shrine

Known as Okazaki Shrine, it's located fairly close to Heian Jingū actually. The shrine is also called Higashi Tennō Okazaki Shrine (東天王岡崎神社). The gosaijin of the shrine are the couple Susano'o no Mikoto and his wife Kushinada-hime. People go there to pray for fertility, and safety in childbirth.

The rabbits beyond symbolizing fertility are also associated with the eastern direction, hence the other name for the shrine being "Eastern Emperor" as a guardian of the east. They're also the messengers of the gosaijin. [x]

People will also get rabbit shaped clay bells, and leave them lined up all over the shrine which is kinda cool to see (they're called Usagi Dorei 土鈴). Also what's fun is instead of komainu you have koma usagi welcoming you to the shrine. [x]

And of course the goshuin

Here's my main takeaway from reading the death mark manga

[watcher0033]

"He took the malevolent shrine in the divorce" is the fucking funniest concept I've heard today

Let Yuji have the house or the fucking shadow dogs, 2k23. 😭🙏🏼 Honestly, it’s the least that Sukuna could do to pay for all the damages.

Izumo Taisha's rabbits

@shoku-and-awe made a great post on the rabbit statues at Izumo Taisha and why they're there, so I'll only add that they are all over the shrine's grounds, and as far as East as the Ancient Izumo History Museum.

In the gardens, the rabbits are depicted doing all kinds of things: reading a book, taking pictures, birdwatching... Yes, all that!

And of course, there are a lot of rabbits facing the shrine buildings and praying.

The plaque behind these two recognises Senge Takamasa and Kunimaro, father and son, current and presumed future chief priest of Izumo Taisha. Tracing their origins back to the rulers of the Izumo province way back in the Nara period (Takamasa is the 84th head of the clan), the aristocratic-priestly Senge family has very much stayed in high society to this day, from being involved in politics and governor of Tokyo around 1900 (the shrine had been taken out of their control following the Meiji revolution and the abolition of the nobility), to Kunimaro marrying an Imperial princess (who no longer holds the title as per the rules) in 2014.

Hella azzrie! Did u have some Warren headcanons? I remember u dgaf abt him but cmoooooon, saysaysay

My opinion of Warren has actually improved on almost every rewatch of the show surprisingly, he’s not my favorite but I definitely don’t have the burning hatred I did when I first saw him.

. Warren thinks he’s an eagle because the first thing he saw as a baby was a huge eagle who was trying to eat him (and he imprinted on it, of course)

. Kleptomaniac, he has stolen at least one thing from anybody he’s ever known

. the most knotted hair in existence like PLEASE use a hairbrush dude

. Always slimy and it will drip onto your hand, DO NOT give that worm a handshake

. Joker kinnie probably

. “No, you guys don’t understand, I’m literally Creep by Radiohead!”

. Does have the ability to change into that monster form at will but he mostly transforms due to intense anger

. And if he’s extremely sad/injured, he just becomes so small that he looks like a normal worm

. Rights eyes a little scared from the friendship episode (Joining Coffin in that fucked up right eye club)

uh…yeah. *stomps him affectionately*

Uji Shrine (宇治神社) 🐰⛩️

Not too far from Ujigami Shrine is the charming Uji Shrine—affectionately known as the "Rabbit Shrine." As you might have guessed, rabbits take centre stage here, hopping their way into every corner of the shrine’s design and atmosphere.

One of the highlights is the rabbit-themed temizuya. Instead of the usual dragon or bamboo spout, this one features an adorable rabbit statue pouring water for purification. It’s impossible not to smile as you rinse your hands, as if the little rabbit is personally wishing you good fortune. Speaking of fortune, the shrine shop is brimming with rabbit-themed charms and amulets for sale. Whether you’re seeking good health, academic success, or just an excuse to carry around a tiny rabbit in your pocket, there’s a charm for everyone.

The rabbits don’t stop there—statues, carvings, and motifs are scattered throughout the grounds. Legend has it that rabbits are messengers of the gods here, and they symbolise safe journeys and guidance. Wandering the shrine, I started to feel like I was on some sort of bunny treasure hunt, spotting one after another. It’s quirky, it’s cute, and it’s guaranteed to brighten your day.

if anyone is wondering if im going to do an analysis of double & mikoto i uhhh need to find more stuff to read in english about psychiatric care and dissociative disorder patients in japan but given what ive found so far im like. well this is what i expected from milgram ill be honest having read the voice drama tl and watched the mv 8573485 times (omg hanae natsukis vocals) i do have a few thoughts. mentions of CSA and childhood abuse below as well as medical abuse - mikoto2 ("john" LMFAOOOO) claims he was born from mikotos workplace stress and implies that mikoto did not have DID prior to that; DID is only developed in childhood, but its common to live your life without knowing about it until adulthood (the average age at diagnosis is 29-35 years as of a 2007 paper on sciencedirect i just double checked; according to a 2009 piece from the national library of medicine, the average patient for a diagnosis is a woman of about 30 years old and a retroactive view of the patients medical history and symptoms tend to reveal a lifetime of DID symptoms) so basically im saying that its equally possible deco and yamanaka are unaware of this or mikoto2 is lying his ass off because why would he want to tell some amnesiac teenage prison warden btw the reason i exist is because mikoto was abused as a child. why do you think our mom divorced our dad. even if es likely researched it themself and is probably aware of the statistical likelihood that mikoto experienced long term childhood abuse, why would mikoto2 say it...especially if that abuse was sexual in nature - according to this video recorded by a japanese man (a recovering hikkikomori who experienced forced hospitalization in the past), the 2017 statistics for mental hospital inpatients was that there were 280,000 patients at the time, and 170,000 of those were hospitalized for over a year. 90,000 had been in hospital care for more than 5 years and 26,000 had been in care for 20 years. he also references that most psychiatric care facilities are private in nature, not government-run, so they prioritize the amount of patients they receive in a short period of time because it earns them more profits (another video i watched compared this practice to a mcdonalds burger vs a proper restaurant; make more at a cheaper cost). likewise, long term care facilities dont want to let their patients go easily, because even if families or the patient cant afford to cover the cost, insurance or the government social security system will cover it. a combination of the psychiatric business as its run and the broader cultural attitude towards mental health (in some cases, families do not want their shame to be public, and actively do not want their mentally ill relative to be released from the hospital; if this is the case, its more likely for a patient to be forcibly hospitalized long term without anyone outside to advocate for their release) so im kind of like. hm. (see saw motion with my hand) as far as rep goes i think its kinda middling, especially because mikoto2 is the Alter Who Kills People For Some Reason trope, which always sucks and basically every journal, article, or vlog ive looked into from people with DID has said "god please stop with the murder alter trope please please", but considering the source material i think its...well, its honestly better than what i was expecting. but milgram is designed to be abstract to a certain extent and were still missing information, so who knows. maybe yamanaka and deco have something else up their sleeve regarding mikoto. but yeah i couldnt find anything specifically regarding patients with DID (or related disorders) but i did only poke around for like 2 hours in the middle of the night soooo ill come back to it and that concludes my findings on this topic for today. stay tuned for my next mikoto fic installment or whatever
