  3. During Mitarashi Matsuri a special kind of fortune called 'mizuura-mikuji' (水占みくじ) can be found. Blank paper omikuji (御神籤) are placed onto water...as the water soaks in the fortune is revealed.

    Kifune-jinja (貴船神社) is particularly well-known for this style of omikuji.

  5. It is said that Emperor Jimmu was guided from Kumano to (what would become) Yamato by a divine, 3-legged bird.

    The 'Yatagarasu' (八咫烏) was believed to be an incarnation of Kamo Taketsunumi (賀茂建角身命), one of the principal gods later enshrined at Shimogamo-jinja (下鴨神社).

  9. 1) SQUIRRELS🐿️

    Squirrels (りす/栗鼠) are the divine messengers of Hirano-jinja (平野神社). They once populated the shrine's pine forest, and thus over time became associated with the enshrined gods.

  11. #BASEsearch technology update:

    We ripped out the #DDC classifier created by Mathias Lösch 12 years ago and replaced it with one created by Christoph Broschinski. It is using #annif, the automated subject indexing toolkit.

    DDC classification is what allows users to browse our index by subject area: base-search.net/Browse/Dewey

    Christoph found out that the decision tree based #Omikuji github.com/tomtung/omikuji outperformed #ANN-based fasttext.cc/ so we are luckily using explainable AI #XAI.

  15. 🌸SAKURA SUCCESS🍀

    divine providence-
    throughout Japan gods
    guarding blossoms
    冥加あれや日本の花惣鎮守
    -Issa (小林一茶), 1795.
    Trans. David Lanoue.

    The rather shrewd Heian-jingū (平安神宮) capitalizes on cherry blossom season with 'sakura omikuji' (桜おみくじ), fortune slips in a shade of pink.

    Unrolling the sacred lots reveals 1 of 12(ish) general blessings, from best 'dai-kichi' (桜おみくじ great blessing) to the worst 'dai-kyō' (大凶 great curse).

  19. Many shrines & temples across Kyōto and Japan are now using familiars (of the gods & Bodhisattvas enshrined within) to promote and sell their omikuji.

    These small clay, wooden or plastic figures, holding the omikuji (aka 'otsuge' お告げ 'divine message'), can be taken home once the fortune is read.

  21. Omikuji are folded strips of paper that are picked blindly. Each 'sacred lot' is printed with a random fortune, often detailing how lucky your love life, health and happiness will be for the year (or until your next omikuji).
    Fortunes vary from 'great blessing' to 'great curse'.
