God's Salt 1

In Japan, salt has been considered sacred since ancient times.

It is said that salt has the power to purge invisible injuries and purify and cleanse the place, and is an indispensable part of Shinto rituals and offerings.

In ancient times, the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan) describe how Misogiharai (purification and purification) was performed with seawater to purify the body of the deceased.

Even today, purifying salt plays an important role in our daily lives, including purification of body, mind, and space, as in the use of salt on the altar and at the entrance to the shrine.

The salt is made from seawater in the northern part of Kyushu, where the guardian god of Kyushu, who is the deity of Isahaya Shrine, is said to have protected Japan with the blessings of the wind. It is a special purifying salt that contains the divine power of the guardian god of Kyushu who protected Japan.

◆"Story of the wind that protected Japan" and "Divine salt

Legend has it that the "Guardian God of Kyushu," the deity of Isahaya Shrine, protected Japan 750 years ago when Japan faced a national crisis during the Genko invasion in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), with the divine power of the wind.

Last year, the stage "Four-faced Kagura - The Story of the Wind that Protected Japan" was presented for the first time, as a performance in front of the gods to experience the legend that the "Guardian God of Kyushu", the deity of Isahaya Shrine, created a tremendous whirlwind and saved Japan from a crisis at the time of the Genko invasion.

In addition, this year, to allow visitors to feel the divine power of "wind" that saved Japan from a crisis, an original "Kazaguruma: windmill" was dedicated at Isahaya Shrine, and many windmills were installed in the precincts of the shrine to create a photo spot "Kaze no Michishirube" where visitors can feel the wind.

In addition to these Shinto plays and windmills, Isahaya Shrine dedicated "divine salt" this time to bring the blessings of the guardian god of Kyushu who protected Japan to many people.

The salt is moist and suitable for offering to the altar, entrance, room, etc., and for purifying salt.

It can be used for purification of all kinds of things in daily life, including purification of stores, celebrations for opening a new business, moving house, and purification of new cars.

The special purifying salt "Kami no Umi no Umi" is produced on the island of "Kagarashima" in the northern part of Kyushu.
