Thanks for sharing (My first video of yours to watch). Whether a shrine/temple has a story you can uncover, they are just great places to reflect on life and feel a part of a shared energy. Love them all ! I'll be sure to come to Iwate on my third trip to Japan! ☺👍
I would love for this to become a series and definitely to hire you to explore next time I'm in Japan. You're so knowledgeable and I always appreciate your authenticity. Thanks again for sharing with us.
What a treat to have a video about another shrine/temple so soon after the previous one, and for your deeper dive into the history of the site too. Absolutely loved it. The lovely views and atmospheric sound of the cicadas were the icing on the cake. They are very special places with so much history and culture tied up in them - and biodiversity too I believe. I've recently been reading more about Minakata Kumagusu and his connection to the shrines and the impact they had on his life and work. Again it demonstrated what an important role they played throughout history, in the lives of people. The people that get to hire you to take them around such beautiful places and hear your explanations about them, are very lucky indeed.
I really loved the knowledge you shared that I am sure many would never have gotten had they just read a few booklets as they walked through this beautiful place. Very interesting. Thank you so much, Quinlan!
Thanks Quinlan! I very much appreciate your commentary. I’m learning a good bit more about the local culture and history as a result. Now if I could just find a good local blues/jazz bar!

Super interesting stories! I think I should totally try and hire yoi as a guide on my next Japan trip - I know I won't have the patience to translate and decipher huge signs like that and I'll probably need extra context!
Well for starters the landscape is amazing ( love the one in the background towards the end ) . If I understood things correctly then Sakanoke Tamuramaro was the 2nd Greatest Shogun ( Shogun as in Shogun , the TV Series ) ?? How many are there ?? One more thing if I may how do we read the signs ?? Top to bottom and right to left ???
Yes- Sakanoue Takumuramaro is often called the 2nd, but I don't think they have a full count going through history. Or if they do, I haven't heard it yet! But yeah- Shogun basically means military leader, generalissimo. But the difference maybe here is that Tamuramaro was operating under the orders of the emperor, whereas the Shoguns from the Kamakura era through the end of Edo were both the military and overall rulers of Japan, with the emperor only serving as a ritualistic figurehead (until the civil war of 1868).
Did the Emishi people turn into the Ainu, or are they completely different peoples? In any case neither was treated particularly well by the Yamato. The first of the shogun was originally the military commander who would lead campaigns against the Emishi, long before the samurai class existed.
The word Emishi was used by the Yamato empire to refer to all the "northern barbarians" up there. So it included the Ainu (or those who would later be called the Ainu) as well as others.
@@GoNorthJapan Ah, so it was like the Greeks calling everyone who wasn't Greek a "barbarian"? Thanks for the answer. I have been thinking about that for a while.
Absolutely love the shrines in Japan. Only hope I can get back there one day. I would live to go to the northern area. I’ve not been up there yet in my previous 2 trips. And if I can get back, I would likely hire you. I appreciate the background knowledge.
A lot of the shrine choices I'm made have been usually around terrain aesthetic for hiking to/through, but recently after reading some folklore tales such as the 47 Ronin, it does make me want to do that little bit of digging and definitely makes the visit a little more interesting other than "hey look, another temple!".
Another fantastic Video. I love to visit shrines and learn a little history whilst i'm there.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have always loved the uniqueness of each temple and shrine - just need to do the research.
Yes!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Your stories bring the past to life so well. Your wealth of knowledge is impressive!
Thanks!

I haven't read any of Minakata's books.. thanks for the reminder! I've been meaning to pick up his complete works, thanks!!
I loved it. Maybe we can go there too.
It's worth it!
Amazing place! Thank you for sharing the location, this is now on my list of places to visit for my next trip to Japan :)
Great! It really is a beautiful spot!

I hope to meet you someday soon in Japan!
Glad to hear that!

紀元前5000年頃、九州南部にある鬼界カルデラ大噴火によって縄文人の大移動があったと考えられています。
というのも弥生人には縄文人と遺伝子が近くない人々と縄文人と遺伝子が近い人々と二パターン存在しているからです。
火山の噴火から避難するために九州などから朝鮮半島へ移住した人々が相当数居たと思われる。
古代朝鮮半島にあった国々と大和王朝の間に通訳の存在がまったく記録されていないことも注目すべきポイントです。
つまり噴火活動が終息して人間の居住が可能になって
朝鮮半島へ避難していた縄文人が現地民と交配した弥生人Aと
春秋戦国時代に中国大陸の戦争から避難してきた弥生人Bが大和王朝のルーツであり
火山活動の影響を受けずに東日本で暮らしていたのが蝦夷やアイヌと呼ばれる縄文人の末裔の人々なのではないだろうか🤔
Absolutely love the shrines in Japan. Only hope I can get back there one day. I would live to go to the northern area. I’ve not been up there yet in my previous 2 trips. And if I can get back, I would likely hire you. I appreciate the background knowledge.
