Shinto shrine in Ise

by Ewcyna


Dwa dni jazdy w pięknych okolicznościach przyrody (jak zwykle – te górki, dołki, rzeczki i przełęcze) i dotarłam do Ise. Tu dla odmiany znajdują się najważniejsze świątynie shinto. Totsuke, nauczycielka angielskiego, którą spotkalyśmy z Zochą na początku podróży powiedziała, że dopiero w Ise można zrozumieć głębię shintoizmu.
Świątynie w Ise to najwspanialsze sanktuarium w Japonii i duchowa mekka Japończyków. That's more than 120 świątyń istniejących od .. around 2000 years! Najważniejsze z nich to Geku i Naiku, świątynia zewnętrzna i wewnętrzna. Naiku poświęcone jest bóstwu Amaterasu Omikami, which oversees the peace and harmony in the world and is also the deity of the imperial family. Other, are smaller temples dedicated m.in. gods eat, Climate, industry, etc.. , there are also other buildings such as. kitchen where food is prepared for the holy deities, etc.. Day is celebrated here dozens of rituals.
In themselves, the most important temples Geku and Naiku are hidden behind a high fence and see only their roofs. This is an example of architecture pre-Buddhist, I resemble temples and wooden cottages with thatched roofs. It is amazing but also a, the temples and all buildings, bridges, torii gates, etc.. They rebuilt at 20 years and just this year, That year in October the ceremony falls! New temples were little visible, though carefully hidden behind fences and I have to say, that gave me that feeling of waiting, news and changes.
And gave me probably also because, that I shared it with thousands of, tens of thousands of Japanese. We had a lot of luck, to get to Ise sunny Saturday, so. Golden Week.. crowds were countless. I felt for the first time on this trip to the streets of Tokyo. For each of the temples became kilometer queue and everyone wanted to worship the deity. Well, I was there only a pale face.
And all this coexists in hipercywilizowanej, modern Japan ...
