Welcome!
This site is a place to introduce Japanese folklore, shrines, temples and customs.
- From the familiar “age of the samurai” to the mythical age when the land was created by stirring with a stick.
- Unlikely but interesting mythological stories. A real-life story that still retains traces today.
- Preference is given to minor stories rather than famous ones.
- Priority is given to historic sites that look interesting rather than those that are well-known.
- Even the number of years since the founding of Japan is ambiguous: 2680, 1700 and 1300. This makes it all the more mysterious and interesting.
- The topics and columns will also refer to the character of the Japanese people.
- This website is not intended as a tourist guide to Japan.
I want to guide you to the deeper consciousness of Japan, to the stories of an older age that laid the foundations of the Japanese people.
lastly…
As you can see, my English is not very good.
Therefore, I am making this site while using and modifying the “DeepL translator”.
Please understand that the text may be difficult to read. I would like to study continuously.
Dear visitor.
