This book explains the origins of these blessings for each "shrine lineage," using episodes from Japanese mythology to historical events in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, "Izumo Taisha became a matchmaking deity because the god had 181 children," "The roots of the Otori-sama's rake, which gathers good fortune, are from Yamato Takeru's victory celebration," and "The foxes of Oinari-sama are the gods' vehicles." The book reveals the secrets of shrines from 31 lineages nationwide. #AkitoshiUrayama #Akitoshi_Urayama #book #shrine #KadokawaMagazines #Shinsho #shrine
