It is a serial cultural property that has eight component parts, all of which are linked to the worship of a sacred island that has continued from the fourth century to the present day. These component parts include Okitsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, which encompasses the entire island of Okinoshima and its three attendant reefs, located in the strait between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula; Okitsu- miya Yohaisho and Nakatsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, located on the island of Oshima; and Hetsu-miya of Munakata Taisha and the Shimbaru-Nuyama Mounded Tomb Group, located on the main island of Kyushu. Okinoshima has unique archaeological sites that have survived nearly intact, providing a chronological account of how ancient rituals based on nature worship developed from the fourth to the ninth centuries. It is of outstanding archaeological value also because of the number and quality of offerings discovered there, underscoring the great importance of the rituals and serving as evidence of their evolution over a period of 500 years, in the midst of a process of dynamic overseas exchange in East Asia.

Morley for the degree of Master ofArts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 2009 Title: THE GODDESSES' SHRINE FAMILY: THE MUNAKATA THROUGH THE KAMAKURA ERA This thesis presents an historical study ofthe Kyushu shrine family known as the Munakata, beginning in the fourth century and ending with the onset ofJapan's medieval age in the fourteenth century. The tutelary deities ofthe Munakata Shrine are held to be the progeny ofthe Sun Goddess, the most powerful deity in the Shinto pantheon; this fact speaks to the long-standing historical relationship the Munakata enjoyed with Japan's ruling elites. Traditional tropes ofJapanese history have generally cast Kyushu as the periphery ofJapanese civilization, but in light ofrecent scholarship, this view has become untenable. Drawing upon extensive primary source material, this thesis will provide a detailed narrative ofMunakata family history while also building upon current trends in Japanese historiography that locate Kyushu within a broader East Asian cultural matrix and reveal it to be a central locus of cultural production on the Japanese archipelago.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Folk customs are based on the Five "E"s: Existential, Experiential, Experimental, Empirical, and Event Oriented. The 5 Es Existential, Experiential, Experimental, Empirical, and Event Oriented Here are the relevant definitions of the Five Es, as they apply to a Folk Religion. While none of these are unique to folk religion, if a religion's praxis is based on all of these and control of that praxis is local, that religion may be considered to be "folk". Existential Relating to or dealing with existence. Based on experience; empirical. Existence The fact or state of existing; being. All that exists. A thing that exists; an entity. Specific presence; occurrence. Existentialist Based on the idea that you are what you say you are, because you engage in some of all the practices that make it up. The folk, the commons, are usually existentialists, as opposed to essentialists. Essentialist Based on the idea that because of what you say you are, you must engage in all the practices that make it up.

  • Homan San and the Cave a Jodo Pilgrimage
    Homan San and the Cave A Jodo pilgrimage Going to Kamado Jinja 2 To the Top of Homan San 6 The Cave 10 The Way Back 16 While you’re in Dazaifu 19 Continuing the Pilgrimage in Fukuoka 20 Tips before you do the hike 21 Online Resources 22 Homan San and the cave Going to Kamado Jinja The walk starts at the lower Kamado shrine1. The shrine itself is worth a visit, even if you don’t want to make the hike. It contains a side shrine dedicated to Muso Gonnosuke2. Kamado Jinja is located in the city of Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture. The city’s train station is operated by the private Nishitetsu Group4. Therefore the best train connection is from Fukuoka’s Nishitetsu Tenjin Station, which can be reached from JR Hakata Station with the Kuko metro line. From Tenjin Station you have to take the Tenjin-Omuta Line to Futsukaichi and change there to the Dazaifu line for 2 stops. Dazaifu ist the last station on this line. There are a limited number of direct connections5. A typical trip from Hakata takes about 45min, with 3 minutes to make the change in Futsukaichi Station. This might seem like too short a time to change, but in Japan it is not. The cost one-way is currently ¥560. Alternative connections5,6 are available, using the JR Kagoshima Line and / or buses. If you don’t want to search the Nishitetsu website, google maps usually provides accurate information. HOMAN SAN AND THE CAVE 2 Having arrived at Dazifu station, you can leave your luggage in a coin locker.
