Akiha Shrine and golden gate

カテゴリー

Akiha Shrine and golden gateAkiha belief is a combination of Buddhism and the old Japanese traditional belief.

Akihasan was originally worshipped as a god of war in the Warring State period. Many of daimyo and samurai contributed their swords to Akihasan, the Temple and the Shrine.

But people worshiped there as the god of fire-proof. I don't know the true reason. But I can imagine that they became more interested in fire-proof than bulletproof in the long time of peace, the Edo Era.

In the Meiji period, the government had separated the Akihasan from the Buddhism and Akihasan was reborn as Akiha Shrine.

But, in spite of the fire-proof prayer, unfortunately the Shrine was all burnt out by big fires without the old gate.

After the last big fire, Akiha shrine was rebuilt on the top of Akiha mountain. And they had builted the golden gate in front of the main shrine.
