Gold Tengu Fans and Arabesque Vines: The Ornate Torii of Ōsugi-jinja 天狗の羽団扇と唐草・大杉神社の「二の鳥居」

This torii is officially known as the Second Torii Gate (二の鳥居) and stands near the main entrance to Ōsugi-jinja Shrine (大杉神社) in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.

These fans are associated with the tengu (天狗), supernatural beings that occupy an interesting space where Buddhist and Shinto traditions merged practically and philosophically between the 6th and 19th centuries.

“The ginkgo tree is from the era of dinosaurs, but while the dinosaur has been extinguished, the modern ginkgo has not changed. After the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the ginkgo was the first tree that came up. It’s amazing.” ~ Koji Nakanishi . . . . . . . . . . . . #iger #igerph #igermanila #igerphilippines #osaka #japan2022 #japan #autumn #autumn2022 #travel #travelphoto #travelphotography #solotravel #hiroshima #itsukushima #miyajima #toriigate #ginko #ginkotree #iphonephoto #iphonephotography #iphone12promax #iphone12 #iphone12pro (at Itsukushima Shrine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJOIPCpj6P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Japanese Mythology & Deities - The gods of heaven and earth & All the deities –

The explanations of the Japanese gods are extremely numerous, complex and diverse, and difficult to understand, as is the case with the "eight million gods". The word "eight million" does not refer to a real number, but to a large number, and this is where we find the characteristics of the Japanese gods. Japan is not a monotheistic country, but a polytheistic country. Depending on how you look at it and how you count it, there are 321 gods in the Kojiki, one of the oldest texts in Japan. The Japanese gods are legally divided into two groups: Amatsukami (heavenly gods) and Kunitatsukami (earthly gods).

Amatsukami are the gods that reside in the high heavens, or the gods that descended from there, while Kunitatsukami is the gods that originally resided in the country of the reed field (the country on earth).

This section is divided into four parts: "Major Gods in the Chronicles," "Gods in the Sacred Mountains," "Historical People Who Became Gods," and "Gods in Our Lives”.

日本神話と神様たち

- 天神地祇 (あまつかみくにつかみ)、八百万の神 - 日本の「かみ」の説明は「八百万の神」と言われるように、数が極めて多く、しかも複雑多岐にわたり、難解である。 「八百万」とは実数を表すものではなく、数が多いことであり、ここに日本の神の特色が見られる。 日本は一神教ではなく、多神教の国なのである。見方や数え方により相違はあるが、日本最古のテキストの一つ「古事記」には三百二十一柱の神々が登場している。

日本の神は、法律的に見れば、天神 (あまつかみ)と地祇 (くにつかみ)に分けられる。天神は、高天原 (天上の国)にいる神、ないしはそこから天降ってきた神であり、これに対して地祇は、もともと葦原の中の国(地上の国)にいた神である。

ここでは、「記紀に登場する主な神々」、「霊山にすまう神々」、「神になった歴史上の人々」、「暮らしのなかの神々」の4部に分けてご紹介する。
