Hi !  I’m Shrine Concierge, Ayumi

 

I’ve just started my blog on cool Japanese shrines.

 

 

When making a new start, it is recommended we visit “Kashima Jingu”.
 

 

 Passing through a “Torii Gate” means you are entering a sacred space.

 

 We should bow once before entering a Tori Gate.

It is also believed the center of a path is one for “Kamisama”.

 -Japanese gods and goddesses-, so please give way to “Kamisama”. 

 

Upon visiting a shrine:

 

 Wash your hands and mouth to purify you before praying.

 

↑　It’s called “Temizuya” or “Chozuya”.

 

 Take a ladle in your right hand and scoop enough water. First pour over your left hand, then your right hand using a ladle. and transfer a ladle again to the right hand further to rinse your mouth with your cupped left hand.  DO NOT rinse your mouth directly from a ladle. Lastly rinse the handle of a ladle with remaining water.

 

 Proceed to the alter (the main building of a shrine).

 

 Shake the rope to ring the bell.

 Bow twice deeply in front of the altar (the main building of a shrine).

 Put money into the offering box, GENTLY.       DO NOT throw them.

 Make your wish in your heart.

 Clap your hands twice.

 Bow once deeply.

 This is a common procedure but it depends on a shrine.

Kashima Jingu, Ibaraki

 

 

 

Deers welcome you

 

 

 

Kashima Jingu covers a fairly large area.  It is, indeed.

There are many big trees in the precinct of the shrine and

the atmosphere is so serene.

the pathway gets to the “Okunomiya” (or “Okumiya”) shrine.

“Okunomiya” here was once used as the main building of the shrine,

but when a new shrine was built, the old one was moved to the current location.

 

The pathway is surrounded by woods with wonderfully clean air.

Just feel it

 

 

“Kanameishi” (a spirit rock) is buried deeply in here.

 

 

 

It is believed that “Kanameishi” holds down a big catfish

causing earthquakes.  ↑　　↓

 “Kamisama” -Japanese gods and goddesses- here (Kashima Jingu)　is well known as one of martial arts or sword.

 

 

Mitarai Ike (Ike = pond)   400,00  litre of spring water daily comes out.

Thank you for visiting.

See you

You Should See Me in A Crown – Billie Eilish

 

Bite my tongue, bide my time
Wearing a warning sign

 

恥を思い知らされて、その時間を待つの

警告のサインを身につけながら

Wait ‘til the world is mine

 

世界が私の手の内に入るまで待って

 

Visions I vandalize

Cold in my kingdom size

 

破壊を繰り返してでも私が描いた

凍るような王宮の世界

 

Fell for these ocean eyes
 

その青い瞳に落ちてしまうわ

（Billieのヒット曲、Ocean Eyesの一節）

You should see me in a crown
I’m gonna run this nothing town

 

私が女王みたいに見えるでしょ

この何もない街を走り続けるの

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by

 

彼らに頭を下げさせるのを見ていて

1人ずつね

 

You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound

 

女王みたいに見えるでしょ

あなたの沈黙は私の好きな音

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by one

 

1人ずつ

頭を下げさせるから見ていて

Count my cards, watch them fall
Blood on a marble wall

 

私のカードを追ってみてよ

（ギャンブルの作戦の一種）

大理石の壁に血が飛び散っている

（大理石の壁は普通純粋さを表しますが、血が飛び散っているということでそれが汚されていることが分かります）

I like the way they all scream
Tell me which one is worse

 

彼らが叫ぶのを見るのが愉快だわ

どっちが本当に悪いのかしら

Living or dying first
Sleeping inside a hearse (I don’t dream)

 

生きるか死ぬのか決めるのが先よ

霊柩車の中で眠ることは（私は求めてない）

 

You say, “Come over baby
I think you’re pretty’

 

あなたは「こっちに来てよ

可愛いじゃん」って言うけれど

I’m okay, I’m not your baby
If you think I’m pretty

 

遠慮しておくわ、あなたのモノじゃないし

可愛いって思うんなら

 

You should see me in a crown
I’m gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by

You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by one

Crown
I’m gonna run this nothing town

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by

You should see me in a crown (You should see me, see me)
Your silence is my favorite sound (You should see me, see me)

Watch me make ‘em bow
One by, one by one
One by, one by one
