Niiname-Sai / Japanese Thanksgiving / Shinto
Thursday, November 24, 2016
Niiname-Sai is the most important harvest festival in Japan.
It is held in every November 23th.
This festival solemnized by an Emperor(photos),
and many Japanese shrine have ceremony in each shrine.
The first Niiname-Sai after new Emperor's assumed the throne,
called Daijyou-Sai.
After Daijyou-Sai,the new Emperor becomes true Emperor.
Of course it is man-hereditary.

I think this shrine is my Ubusuna-shrine.
Because my parents had been lived near the shrine when my mom was pregnant.
Ubusuna shrine = Shrine that gave me my life-battery
Battery means part of god.
Shrine's nature god staff are kind of agency between human and nature.

Ujigami shrine = The nearest shrine from your current house
Ujigami shrine is more important than Ubusuna shrine.
Because Ujigami are looking after us now and we have already Ubusuna's essence in our body.
So,we have to cherish nature of current neighborhood.
Other countries has no worship place for nature,
but local nature gods are always protecting each area as long as there is nature
and your child's life battery was given by them.

No nature,no new baby.
