Japanese family crests / Kamon / Crop circles and Anti-Gravity

photo by photolibrary I don't know if this sample is real or not but just want to introduce design of Japanese family crests, Kamon. Kamon are Japanese emblems used to decorate and identify an individual or family. There are countless Kamon in Japan. Most Japanese graves have curved Kamon like this . But Kamon is not so important in memorial healing ritual for ancestor. ⇒ Butsudan / How to do / Japanese daily ritual Also, some big shrines and temples have own crests like Kamon.

Crane and Turtle / Core concept of Japan / Amatsu and Kunitsu

photolibrary Crane and Turtle. The combination is called "Tsuru-Kame" and known as a good luck symbol. Because one couple of crane love each other for a long time, and turtles live long. So, many Japanese buy Tsuru-kame gift for a happy event like a grandparents day or wedding.( Photos ) There are other important, secret hints in the sign. These are very core of Japan. Tsuru-Kame represents two opposite things that create new in the future. Yin and yang / Wife and husband / Japanese and Jewish / Settlement and Wandering / Worship and money economy Further more, Jewish are roughly divided into two groups. One group is for true worship. This group helped and protected Japan after WW2. ⇒ Japan and Douglas MacArthur / 1945 / Shinto The other group is for economic/war business.

Positional relation and direction / Kamidana and Butsudan / Tokonoma Japanese traditional room

wikipedia The exhibition space in Japanese traditional guest room is called Tokonoma . (Left side one step higher place with a hanging scroll and flowers) Generally speaking,a room of Tokonoma is in north side of a house. Tokonoma is best place to install Kamidana(Nature worship table) and Bursudan(Ancestor worship table) . Because the room is always clean and silent. Photos / Kamidana and Butsudan in Tokonoma Kamidana example. Kamidana example. My Kamidana in US. My Kamidana is simple but very effective. Many people put extra things on Kamidana. To invite nature gods of your neighborhood,please do not put extra things. Because they can't visit there. One water bowl in the middle and a pair of plants are enough. These means one forest. Plus,if you in Japan,please get Ofuda at the nearest Shinto shrine from your house. About Ofuda(Condensed energy of Shrine,made of paper) Butsudan example. Butsudan example. There is a K...

Kamidana how to do / Substitute for Kamidana plants Sakaki / Eucalyptus

This is my current Kamidana. Kamidana is a small Shinto shrine for each household. Nature gods of my neighborhood visit my table before dawn and protect the area. It is not a fairly story. To be a good host,you have to change water every morning. (Please use distilled water if you can) Distilled water maker / Amazon com The routine work for Kamidana means a lot. Well cared Kamidana is effective for area protection and regional revitalization. Also,it keeps crimes away. Un-cared Kamidana is not effective at all. I can say the same thing about Japanese shinto shrine. Good shrines are created by routine cleaning. Nature gods say that most important person for Shinto shrine is cleaning person not a priest.(As an extreme logic) Please always clean your room and house it become a sacred training. Japanese people are always cleaning. Shinto and cleaning I've been looking for substitute plants for Kamidana. In Japan,Kamidana needs Sakaki ...

Small shrines in Japan / Hokora / Shinto concept

photolibrary That small shrine is called HOKORA . Hokora are smaller than regular Shinto shrines. Large Jingu/Jinjya/Yashiro > Hokora > Smallest shrine Kamidana in each house Some ancient Hokora shrines are older than any other shrines. I think there are similar things in local worship of south east countries. photolibrary photo by photolibrary Local people often visit Hokora and "take care of it". Cleaning,changing water and dedicating thankful heart to nature fairy gods in there. photolibrary photolibrary photo from wikipedia In Japan,there are so many places to worship nature gods.

Mount Moriya in Nagano, Japan / Holy Bible / Moriah hill of Jerusalem

Sacred Mount Moriya in Nagano, Japan. There are one of the oldest Shinto shrines around this mountain. Suwa Taisha shrine is composed of 4 shrines group. 4 shrines are divided into 2 groups. M = Mount Moriya AB = Shimosha group = Harumiya and Akimiya shrine CD = Kamisha group = Honmiya and Maemiya shrine ABCD = Whole Suwa Taisha Suwa Taisha have been protected by Moriya family line. 守矢(Moriya = Protects Arrow) Their ancestors were Mononobe family. They were most important priest position in imperial court. Mononobe family's root was priest who knows spiritual, practical techniques of old Judaism. And more ancient story, Mononobe's root was Nigiyahahi. He was first emperor Jimmu's loyal subordinate. In Japan, all shrines protect hidden secret nature place. It is called Goshin-tai.(God itself or God's place) So, shrine architecture is not real god place. True god exists behind or near a shrine. In case of Suwa Taisha, Gos...

Butsudan / How to do / Japanese important daily ritual for ancestors

I would like to share Japanese style "effective and correct way" of ritual in Ancestor worship. This is a kind of white magic. There are many rules but basically, you just give three incenses everyday. Please save your ancestors. Their only chance depends on you. They have been waiting for your correct memorial service. Just thinking about your ancestors or visiting grave are not radical solution for them. Some ancestors do not rest in peace because of some reasons. Every family has troubled ancestors. To understand the truth, you need to know after life world called Anoyo. There are some levels in the after life world. ⇒ After life / 5 worlds / Integration plan If you leave suffering ancestors in severe places, that will influence on you and your descendant because your body came from all your ancestors. Ancestors are invisible now but your body's cells and DNA are still active. That means your dead ancestors aren't extinct. Their...

Ryukyu shinto / Okinawan lullaby song / Warabigami

photolibrary Okinawa is Japan’s southernmost tropical prefecture. In Okinawa, ancient Shinto traditions native to Japan still remain to this day. This form of Shinto is known as “Ryukyu Shinto.” In Ryukyu Shinto, women have traditionally served as the principal priests in the worship of nature. As a result, it can be said that women continue to play a significant role in the region’s culture. I would like to introduce a beautiful Okinawan song called “Warabigami.” This song is a lullaby with lyrics written in the Okinawan dialect; the lyrics were penned by Koja, a renowned Okinawan folk singer, and the music was composed by her husband. It is said to express the feelings she had upon being blessed with a grandchild. With a sensibility unique to the Japanese—though even Japanese people may not be fully aware of it—the song is composed almost entirely without a subject. I believe this reflects a state of mind in which the “individuality” or “ego” associated with “I” is minimal. ...

Japanese women shaman Miko / Hair and Yorishiro / Spiritual possession

Miko are young workers in Japanese shrines.(18 - 30 years old) They have lots of things to do. Cleaning,Reception,Preparation for Shinto ceremonies,Dance performance for ceremony, Making guide brochures,Amulets and gifts for guests...etc. Important thing is their hair. They have long,original black color hair to catch nature god's divinity. Hair become a perch tree for gods. This is called YORISHIRO phenomenon and it is very important Shinto concept. Japanese language is really interesting. There are many words that have same sounds. 髪 Ka→mi↘ (Hair) 神 Ka↗mi (God or Gods) Pronunciations are different but these words have a strong similarity. I'd say Yorishiro phenomenon is a kind of temporary possession by invisible spirits(Both good or bad). Of course your body is also Yorishiro. Any things what have shape become a visiting place for We need to take care of hair very well. Many good or bad spirits approach ou...
