Kasuga Taisha is a shrine that walked the glamorous stage as the tutelary deity of the Fujiwara clan. Isonokami Jingu is a shrine that was the tutelary deity of the now-defunct Mononobe clan. Although the sacred object of Isonokami Jingu, Futsumitama-no-Tsurugi, is enshrined at Isonokami Jingu, its original owner was Takemikazuchi, who is enshrined at Kasuga Taisha. Are traces of the battle over Futsumitama-no-Tsurugi actually left in the direction that each main shrine faces? When you investigate various things from this perspective, you can see the darkness and light of a very interesting history! Please take your time to visit Kasuga Taisha and Isonokami Jingu while imagining what such a background may be. 📷 Kamirize's video on Isonokami Shrine • [Isonokami Shrine, where high-ranking gods are enshrined] A clear explanation of the main deity and a deep look into its relationship with the dragon god #Kasuga Taisha Shrine #Nara #Fujiwara no Fuhito #Isonokami Shrine #Nara History #Takemikazuchi #Futsumitama no Tsurugi #Futsunushi no Kami #Emperor Jimmu #Heijo-kyo #Kojiki
