🙏🐴GIFT HORSES, RAIN CLOUDS & REVENGE💦👹
In times past, during extreme weather events, the imperial court would turn to one particular shrine.
Kifune-jinja (貴船神社), nestled in the mountains north of Kyōto, is home to the god of rain. Horses were gifted to the shrine in an attempt to alter the weather. -

Originally known as 'Kigensetsu' (紀元節 'Festival of the Accession of the First Emperor and the Foundation of Japan'), the holiday was moved to February 11th with the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar in 1873 (in part to remove it from the distractions of the lunar New Year).

Tamayori-hime enshrined the deity of water, Takaokami (高龗神), at the spring. To ensure no mortal eyes looked upon her sacred boat she buried it beneath rocks, and the shrine was later constructed above it.

In times of emergency, when there was too much or too little rain, emperors would dedicate a horse to Kifune-jinja (貴船神社): a black horse when praying for rain, a white horse when relief was needed from the rain.
This is said to be the origin of 'ema' votive tablets (絵馬 lit. 'picture-horse').

🌨️🌦️THE HOME OF THE HEADSPRING GODS🐎🙏
A snowy trip to Kifune-jinja (貴船神社), home to Takaokami (高龗神 aka Kuraokami 闇龗神), a god that can summon clouds, and so presides over rain, sunshine and water in general.
Prayers have long be said at the shrine in times of drought or floods. -

The village of Kibune (貴船) is home to Kifune-jinja (貴船神社).
Although they both use the same characters in their names, the shrine now employs the pronunciation 'kifune' as as means to distinguish the sacred from the mundane...a sound with a better feel for the water deities.

🎐KYŌTO'S BACKROOM😅
fresh green-
there are few people
in Kibune village
新緑や人の少なき貴船村
-Sōha (波多野爽波).For a thousand years Kyōtoites have escaped to Kibune (貴船) when the city heat becomes unbearable. Because of this the village is known as Kyōto's living room.

The image of the mountain slopes bejeweled with blossoms earned it the springtime name 'Kibune Uzu' (貴船雲珠).
'Uzu' is a crupper ornament, often found on Chinese-style ritual saddles of the Heian period. Kurama (鞍馬) means 'Saddle Mountain', thus the sakura were its 'uzu'.

In times past, during extreme weather events, the imperial court would turn to one particular shrine.
Kifune-jinja (貴船神社), nestled in the mountains north of Kyōto, is home to the god of rain. Horses were famously gifted to the shrine in an attempt to alter the weather.
