Mit einer feierlichen Zeremonie wurde die Saison an den #Naruto-Strudeln in #Japan eröffnet. Gebete und ein goldener Schlüssel sollen für Sicherheit im laufenden Jahr sorgen. Die Strudel gelten seit Jahrhunderten als Sehenswürdigkeit. #hyogo #tokushima #awaji

Two Shintō shrines on Awaji Island are associated with the creation myth of Japan (国生み神話) in the earliest chronicles Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. At Onokoro Island Shrine (自凝島神社), visitors are encouraged to perform rituals to sacred stones for good fortune. The sekirei stone (鶺鴒石) is for couples, with a white and red cord, and I was surprised that my wife grasped my hand and prayed as we held the cords.
We also went to Izanagi Shrine (伊弉諾神宮), dedicated to the two founding gods or pillars (二神、又は二柱) of the archipelago. Worshippers believe that the founding gods dwell in the 900-year-old husband-and-wife camphor tree (夫婦楠). We have seen a similar tree at Ōmiwa Jinja in Nara (大神神社) where two trees merged into one at the base. We also noticed a connection to the Onokoro Island Shrine at the Izanagi Shrine, a small sekirei monument to married couples (夫婦鶺鴒像), and both sites included a bird motif.

For my wife's birthday of special numerical significance in East Asian tradition, we stayed for the first time on Awaji Island in the Seto Inland Sea. It helps connect the main island with Shikoku island by big bridges, from a little west of Kōbe to northern Awaji Island, and then from southern Awaji Island to Naruto in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku. The next batch of photos will present holy sites related to the creation myth of the Japanese archipelago, while this batch shows some scenes we enjoyed. See the captions for details.

Annnnd I got an English language translation of the multi-puppeteer performance I saw. Which still hasn't helped me but oh well.

This is a video of a video I took showing the kind of multi-puppeteer performance they did at Awaji theater.
The head of the theater came out before the performance and explained some of the mannerisms they act out. It was fascinating.

Attended the Awaji Ningyo-za Puppet Museum & Theater on Awaji Island in Tokushima, Japan.
No photos allowed of the performance which was interesting from an artistry & biomechanics perspective.
(Honestly, I, with my Kindergarten-level Japanese couldn't understand a word of it.)
