Imashirozuka Kofun in Takatsuki, Japan The largest ancient kofun tomb in the Yodo River basin, the 6th-century Imashirozuka Kofun is unique in several aspects. It is likely one of the only ancient keyhole mound tombs of a Japanese emperor which one can actually walk around and climb. This is because when it was identified as the probable tomb of Emperor Keitai, the Imperial Household Agency had already assumed that he was buried in another location. As such, they declined to award protection to the tomb, which today remains under the stewardship of the local government. For many years until its excavation and conversion into a park, Imashirozuka Kofun was in a very neglected state. Its primary mound has partially collapsed, which was thought to be because the warlord Oda Nobunaga built a castle on it in the 16th century. In reality, the collapse occurred because of an earthquake in 1596, according to archaeologists. Commonly found among kofun tombs of the 3rd through 6th centuries are haniwa, terracotta figures used as funerary objects. Cylindrical haniwa were used to support the kofun mounds, and haniwa shaped as people, objects, animals, or houses were placed on top of or around the mounds. They were likely supposed to play a role in protecting or housing spirits of the deceased. Imashirozuka Kofun is unique among such sites in having an actual reconstruction of such a ritual precinct of haniwa, similar to the army of terracotta warriors in front of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb in China.

Queda oculta la luna

Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, Japan Located in a wooded gorge between Mounts Kibune and Kurama, the ancient Kifune Shrine is one of the most revered shrines in Kyoto, dedicated to the water god Taka-okami-no-kami and deeply associated with wish-making. Though it is most famed for its photogenic stairway lined with lanterns and autumn foliage, the shrine is steeped in history and folklore, both auspicious and dark. For one, Kifune Shrine is widely considered the birthplace of ema prayer boards, which are found at almost every Shinto shrine across Japan today. Ema, literally meaning “picture-horse,” was once an actual, live horse offered by the Emperor to pray for the rain here, but was eventually replaced by a wooden horse, and then by a wooden board with a picture of a horse. In the medieval play titled _Kanawa_ , the shrine is featured as the location where the protagonist, a vengeful cuckquean, is advised by the gods to “dress in red, paint her face with cinnabar, wear an iron crown and light a candle” to become a demoness. This story was later fused with the custom of the Ushi-no-toki-mairi, a well-known curse ritual performed at the Hour of the Ox (around 2:30 AM). Due to this, Kifune Shrine grew into a popular spot for those seeking to put a curse upon someone else. Originally, however, the Hour of the Ox ritual was not necessarily a curse, but wish-making in general, inspired by the myth that the God of Kifune manifested himself at the Hour of the Ox on the Day of the Ox in the Year of the Ox. Interestingly, there is also a small sub-shrine in a corner of the shrine grounds dedicated to the Ushioni (“ox demon”), who accompanied the God of Kifune. This demon was so talkative that the God cut off his tongue, exiled him and wouldn’t forgive him for three years. It is said that his descendants took monstrous forms up to the fourth generation, but became humans from then on. This Zetsu (“tongue”) family has survived to this day, serving Kifune Shrine as priests.

A photo I found online of the Inari Shrine in Hawaii with Chinese lions instead of foxes.

So I was looking up info on the Inari Shrine in Hawaii and found this picture online and why are there Chinese Style Lions rather than foxes?

Don't you realize their servants are fox spirits known as Kitsune? #hawaii #shintoism #japan #inari #religion

I think it's interesting how the Japanese and Ancient Celts believe in sacred trees and that trees possess fairy spirits and have great respect for them. #religion #spirituality #paganism #shintoism #druids

Christian nation this…

Religious freedom that…

How about we just have state Shintoism and ban all of the bad religions?

It’ll solve our problems much faster than this “tolerating religious extremism” bs the government is doing right now!
