Susa Jinja - An ancient shrine dedicated to the spirit of the heroic god Susanoo no Mikoto ⛩ 📜This ancient shrine is mentioned in the “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki” (a book from the 8th century describing the life of people at the time). Susa Jinja is located on the bank of the Susagawa River, a branch of the Kandogawa River running from north to south in central Shimane Prefecture. This region is strongly related to Susanoo no Mikoto, a heroic god who, according to Japanese mythology, eradicated the multi-headed dragon Yamata no Orochi. In “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki,” the passage about Susa village says that Susanoo came here, and after he finished settling the land, he said: “This land may be small, but it is good. This land shall not be named by the nature it has; it shall bear my name.” Thus, he named this place “Susa”, and according to the book, he decided to link his soul to this place even after his death. Shrines related to Susanoo are common throughout Japan, but this one is the only one where Susanoo’s soul is enshrined, and that also worships Susanoo’s wife, Inatahime no Mikoto, and her parents, Ashinazuchi no Mikoto and Tenazochi no Mikoto. These four gods all appear in the legend of Yamata no Orochi. The shrine has a strong reputation for answering prayers about good relations and new encounters, the prosperity of one’s descendants, the well-being of one’s family, and protection from various harms. The existence of this ancient shrine can be confirmed in “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki” and “Engishiki” (a 10th century book of Japanese laws and regulations). The shrine’s main building is in the “taishazukuri” architectural style. It was reconstructed in 1861, and has been designated as a Cultural Property by the prefectural government. Though it is a small shrine lost between the hills of Izumo, surrounded by greenery, a mystical atmosphere floats here. The Japanese media often present this shrine as THE “power spot” of Japan— a place recognized by Japanese people for its spiritual energy… 🐲Read the legend about Susanoo defeating the many-headed dragon Yamata no Orochi at: https://ancient-japan-izumo.com/history/chapter4　 #susanoo #orochi #mythologicalcreature #mythology #japanesemythology #sada #susa #susashrine #susajinja #izumo #ancientjapan #ancientjapanizumo #shimane #landofthegods #history #historyofizumo #izumomyths

Red Spider Lily or Equinox Flower🌺 In Japan, if you see this beautiful red flower (scientific name: lycoris radiata) it means that fall is just around the corner!🎃🍁 In Izumo too, you will be able to spot red spider lilies here and there. Today’s pictures were taken in front of Izumo Cultural Heritage Museum. In Japanese this flower is called “higanbana,” which is also a “kigo” word (literally: season word) used in traditional poetry (like haiku) to evoke an autumnal feeling.🍂 #izumo #shimane #japan #japanesecountryside #japanesefall #autumn #fall #flowers #higanbana #redspiderlily #equinoxflower #redflower #haiku #japanesepoetry #lycorisradiata

[Yomegashima Island in Matsue City, Shimane, Japan.] Classified in Places of Scenic Beauty under Cultural Properties, Yomegashima Island is a new Registered Monument of Japan!! 🎉 🌊Two-hundred meters off the shore of Lake Shinji, Yomegashima is the only island in the entire lake. The island is made of basalt rock which was said to have formed 12 million years ago from volcanic eruptions. Currently, the island is 110m from east to west and 30m from north to south with a mixture of black pine and enoki trees. Its history goes back to the Izumo-no-kuni Fudoki (ancient encyclopedia of the Izumo area), which was written in the 8th century, as only having one tree and called Kashima island. There is a shrine on the island dedicated to the deity Benzaiten, which is why you can see a torii gate facing the shore of the island. ⛩ 🌅Watch the sunset from the banks of Lake Shinji or take the Lake Shinji Pleasure Cruise boat tour.

A Big Discovery: The Kōjindani Relics🧐📜 358 Bronze Swords🤯⚔️ Before the bronze swords of Kōjindani were excavated, there were only about 300 ancient bronze swords discovered in total throughout all of Japan. But here in Kōjindani, there was a discovery of 358 swords buried in one place, all of them neatly aligned in 4 rows. This was an unprecedented discovery in Japan’s archaeological world, causing researchers to reconsider previous studies about bronzeware of the Yayoi period (estimated 10th-6th century BC to 3rd century AC). 6 Bonze Bells and 16 Bronze Spearheads⚔️ Not far from the 358 bronze swords, a set of 6 bronze bells and 16 bronze spearheads was excavated: the first discovery of its kind. Some of these bronze bells are the oldest model of bronze bell in Japan, and the bronze spearheads have dogtooth patterns like the spearheads discovered in northern Kyushu. The discovery of the Kōjindani bronzeware attracted a lot of attention to Yayoi period studies, contributing to the spotlight on this field of research. About the Bronze Swords⚔️ Bronze swords came from the continent to Japan around the beginning of the Yayoi period. First, they were used as combat weapons, but when Japan was able to create its own swords, they were then made to be used in rituals. The swords discovered in Kōjindani measure around 50 cm (19.5 inches), and the blades are shaped with a thinner part in the middle. This shape is called “nakabosogata,” which also came to be known as “Izumo-type bronze swords.” Among the 358 bronze swords, 344 are marked with an “x” on their tang. This symbol has been observed only in this region, on the Kōjindani bronzeware and the bronzeware of the archaeological site Kamoiwakura in Izumo’s neighbor city of Unnan. The meaning of this cross symbol is still an unsolved mystery, but some researchers think it might be there in order to pacify a divine spirit by linking it to the sword, such that the sword would not lose its power after being buried. About the Bronze Bells🔔 Bronze bells are said to be bells that call the gods. They appear to have been first used in China and in the Korean peninsula, as little bells hung on domestic animal collars. When they were brought to Japan at the end of the early Yayoi period, the bells were enlarged and used in rituals. Bronze bells used to be objects that existed to make sound, but once enlarged, they could be seen from afar. There was no need to ring them anymore, thus they became objects to observe rather than to hear. About the Bronze Spearheads⚔️ Bronze spearheads were, like bronze swords and bronze bells, used as ritual objects. Bronze bells were said to call the gods, but bronze swords and bronze spearheads are thought to exorcise evil spirits. Bronze spearheads came to Japan during the early Yayoi period, the same time as bronze swords. They were then thin shaped, “hosogata,” used as weapons when put on a handle. But in the middle of Yayoi period, they were enlarged to form other shapes, “nakabosogata” (thin in the middle), “nakabirogata” (thin in the middle, larger than nakabosogata) and “hirogata” (large), and were not practical as weapons. All the bronze spearheads discovered in Kōjindani had mold earth left in the hole in their base. This points towards the theory that these spearheads were not made as weapons, but as equipment used in rituals. These bronzewares were designated as a National Treasure in 1998, collectively called the “Shimane Kōjindani Ruins Artifacts.”🤓 https://ancient-japan-izumo.com/history/ #history #JapaneseHistory #bronze #ruins #kojindani #KojindaniRuins #Izumo #AncientJapan #HistoricRuins #ArchaeologicalSite #archaeology #relics #BronzeRelics #Kofun #Yayoi #SueWare #KofunPeriod #YayoiPeriod #IzumoNoKuniFudoki #shimane #ancientjapanizumo

[Shimane, Japan] If you love anime, this is a must-see! A black katana similar to the one used by the main character of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is on display, and drawing national attention! Today we are introducing a museum where you can see a real life black katana like the one featured in Demon Slayer, the record-breaking hit Japanese anime! 　 ✅ Why is it getting all this attention? The town of Okuizumo in Shimane Prefecture is the talk of Japan. Okuizumo is the only place in the world that still makes the tamahagane steel used in Japanese swords. It is the product of a unique traditional process called tatara iron making which uses large amounts of iron sand and charcoal. Check out the YouTube link below to watch the short movie on tatara iron making. 👇🔥 In order to obtain these resources, mountains were carved away and forests were cut down. However, in Okuizumo, they built a sustainable agricultural system to preserve the environment while being able to continue the tradition of tatara iron making. They have been praised for their methods and have been recognized as a Japanese Agricultural Heritage Site. The symbol of the Okuizumo Tatara Brand, which works to promote tatara iron making, is this black katana, which has garnered national attention for its resemblance to the sword used by the protagonist of Demon Slayer. 　 ✅ ”Moon Sasa”, the black katana that looks just like the Sun Steel sword from Demon Slayer. Moon Sasa (“bamboo leaves under the moonlight”) is a sword that was designed to represent the shimmer of moonlight on the bamboo leaves of the Okuizumo night. The sword is displayed in the Okuizumo Tatara Sword Museum, and is part of the regular exhibition. 　 Once things have returned to normal, come and get a peek into the world of Demon Slayer. ✨ ▼ 🔥Tatara Iron-Making Okuizumo Official Movie [YouTube] https://youtu.be/BXFaEk15KWI 　 ▼ Okuizumo tatara https://tatara-iron-making-okuizumo.jp/ 　 ▼ The Official Okuizumo Travel Guide https://okuizumo.org/en/

Izumo Zenzai – “mochi of the gods”🍡 Fall is here, and with it, the comforting and warm foods of the season, such as the sweet red bean soup called “zenzai.”😋🍁 Did you know that zenzai is originally from Izumo? As the month of the gods will soon be upon us, let’s have a look at this story!🧐✨ In Izumo, during “kamiarisai,” the festivities related to the month of the gods, “jinzai mochi” (literally meaning “mochi of the gods”) was served to people waiting to visit shrines. It is said that “jinzai” was pronounced as “zunzai” in the Izumo dialect (so-called “zu-zu ben”), and the word continued mutating to eventually become “zenzai.” The dish ended up coming to Kyoto with this name! Thanks to documents dating from the beginning of the Edo Period (1603-1868), such as those written by the Confucian scholar Hayashi Razan, we can confidently say that the dessert known as zenzai is originally from Izumo.📜 If you haven’t already tried zenzai, then maybe this special time of the year is a nice opportunity to have some “mochi of the gods?”😃 #Shimane #Japan #Izumo #AncientJapanIzumo #AncientJapan #mochi #JapaneseSweets #sweets #zenzai #ZenzaiMochi #RiceCake #RedBeanSoup

[Shimane, Japan] A globally significant supplier of high-quality silver?! The UNESCO World Heritage Site “Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape” Experience the rich history and historic landscape of Iwami Ginzan, and the wonderful hot springs nearby.✨ 　 ＜Iwami Ginzan was considered a “Silver Mine Kingdom”＞ In Omori-cho, Ohda city, Shimane Prefecture, lie the ruins of Iwami Ginzan, the first mining site in Asia to be registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. It was praised particularly for its peaceful coexistence with the surrounding nature. In the mine’s heyday (16th to 17th century), Japan accounted for one-third of the world’s silver production, the majority of which came from Iwami Ginzan. And it was all produced by hand! Visit the Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center before heading to the mine to learn more about its history! 　 ＜The retro feel of Omori＞ The once prosperous mining town of Omori is another aspect of the UNESCO site. The town has a retro feel, with a townscape that takes you back in time to the Edo period. However, the existence of houses owned by samurai, merchants and commoners, as well as, temples and shrines in such a close proximity of each other is a rarity! We recommend walking or renting a bicycle to go around the town.🚶 　 ＜Over 1,300 years of history! Yunotsu Onsen＞ Yunotsu Onsen is another cultural asset of the UNESCO-registered Iwami Ginzan. The quiet onsen town also has traditional Japanese homes that have been refurbished into cafes and restaurants! 　 ▼World Heritage Iwami-Ginzan Official Web Site (Choose language in menu bar) https://www.ginzan-wm.jp/iwami_ginzan/ 　 ▼Ohda Travel Guide https://www.ginzan-wm.jp/inbound/ 　 ▼Yunotsu Onsen https://www.ginzan-wm.jp/inbound/inbound_yunotsu/
