| 325．Ōyamato Shrine ・Shinto |
| Ōyamato Shrine (大和神社, Ōyamato Jinja) is a Shinto shrine located in Tenri, Nara in Japan. In the time of Emperor Sujin there was a crisis. Amaterasu (via the Yata-no-Kagami and the Kusanagi sword) and Yamato Okunitama, the tutelary deity of Yamato, were originally worshipped in the great hall of the imperial palace. When a series of plagues broke out during Emperor Sujin's reign, he "dreaded [...] the power of these Gods, and did not feel secure in their dwelling together." He thus entrusted the mirror and the sword to his daughter Toyosukiirihime, who brought them to the village of Kasanuhi, and delegated the worship of Yamato Okunitama to another daughter, Nunaki-iri-hime [ja],[1][2]but her health began to fail shortly afterward. It is recorded that Nunakiiri-hime became emaciated after losing all of her hair, which rendered her unable to perform her duties.[3] Ichishi no Nagaochi [ja] would conduct the Okunitama rites replacing the emaciated Nunaki-iri-hime [ja].[4] Ichishi no Nagaochi [ja] would be the ancestor of the Yamato clan.[5] This replacement is taken as a shift towards more patriarchai religion.[4] When the pestilence showed no sign of abating, he then performed divination, which revealed the plague to have been caused by Ōmononushi, the god of Mount Miwa. When the god was offered proper worship as per his demands, the epidemic ceased.[1][2] |
