I visited a shrine yesterday and thought to capture some video clips instead of the photos I usually take these days. It is quite a quick walkthrough of this sacred ground. Suga shrine has a long history of over 1,073 years. It is said to be a prayer ground for a Samurai of the shrine; Fujiwara No Hidesato. He prayed here everyday to the Susanonomikoto ( the deity ) asking for victory against his oponent, Taira no Masakado who was leading revolt . He succeeded in supressing the revolt and a sacred object was placed in Suga Shrine, from Kyoto to mark his victory.
These days people come here to pray for health and good luck. Some Japanese may insist that they are not religious but seeing shrines like this and watching people gather to pray shows you otherwise. Enjoy the visuals and the timely Dub music.
