The beginning of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism
It is located at Hachiman Shrine.
Hachiman Shrine has been the "God of the Nation" for thousands of years.
It has been revered as the largest shrine in the country, with 44,000 shrines.
All over the country, we live our daily lives together with the people, celebrate good harvests, hold festivals,
He gave himself up to hard labor and encouraged the people.
He is the guardian deity who protects the people of this country.
Hachiman Shrine has been passing down the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, a form of worship originally practiced in Japan, for thousands of years.
The sun and the sea that humans cannot resist...
Shintoism is a belief that gods reside in nature.
The "Buddhist Way" of standing close to people and seeking salvation from the Buddha
"Gods and Buddhas"
The "syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism" in which people pray with their hands together is the original Japanese culture that has been connected to us since ancient times.
This is the Japanese heart.
At Sangonomiya, you can learn the beautiful manners of Yamato Nadeshiko through dance and calligraphy in order to pass on the true history of Japan to the future.
We are grateful to offer dance and calligraphy to famous shrines and temples throughout the country.
