Mount Nekomadake (猫魔ヶ岳 Nekoma-dake, Nekoma-gadake)
is a stratovolcano located west of Mount Bandai, close to Bandai town and Kitashiobara village in the Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
It is 1,403.6 metres high, and close to Lake Inawashiro and Oguni-numa Pond.

Nekoishi, Neko-Ishi 猫石 the Cat Boulder



From this boulder you could look down at 雄国沼 the pond Oguninuma.

In the North of Mount Nekomadake there is a huge boulder, Nekoishi 猫石, as big as one tatami mat.
In former times, there lived the nekomata ねこまた monster cat, who used to eat humans passing its way.
There is almost no grass or weed growing there, because the cat had scratched it all off.
One day Kobo Daishi passed here and banned a bakeneko 化け猫 cat monster to become a stone.


- quote -
猫魔ヶ岳の山頂から登山道を西方へ20分ほど進むと、雄国沼を見下ろす場所に「猫石」と呼ばれる安山岩の巨大な岩がある。方向によっては、大きな猫に大岩が覆いかぶさっているようにも見え、その昔、弘法大師がその法力によって化け猫を調伏(ちょうぶく)した姿ともいわれている。

Daija means "large snake" and at this festival, floats in the image of snakes (10-meter long, 5-meter tall and weighing 3 tons) will be paraded around town. Placing a child inside the mouth of a Daija supposedly grants sound health for one year. It's better if the child cries! Don't miss the group dance of 10,000 people on Jul. 27 (5:50 p.m.), and watch out for the finale when the 13 Daija floats come together in a marvelous parade.

Ebisu sama 恵比須さま
Ebisu sama was on vehicle and proceeded slowly. When he passed 六甲 Mount Rokkosan a gentle wind blew and Ebisu became tired and fell asleep.
His companion wanted to wake him up, but could not, so he twisted the skin of his buttocks. He twisted quite strong and Ebisu finally woke up.
The place where this happened is in 本町 Honmachi, Nishinomiya 西宮.
To this day a special festival in his honor is held there, called shiri hineri matsuri 尻ひねり祭 #buttock-twisting festival".

Emperor Naruhito Enthronement

Posted: 22 Oct 2019 12:54 AM PDT

Enthronement of Emperor Naruhito

Emperor proclaims enthronement in a ceremony



A ceremony to mark the accession of Japan's Emperor Naruhito has taken place at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. He took the throne in May. Today his accession is being celebrated by leaders of Japan and dignitaries from around the world.

He gave the following speech:

Having previously succeeded to the Imperial Throne in accordance with the Constitution of Japan and the Special Measures Law on the Imperial House Law. I now perform the Ceremony of Enthronement at the Seiden State Hall and proclaim my enthronement to those at home and abroad.
I deeply reflect anew that for more than 30 years on the Throne, His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus constantly prayed for the happiness of the people and world peace, always sharing in the joys and sorrows of the people, and showing compassion through his own bearing. I pledge hereby that I shall act according to the Constitution and fulfill my responsibility as the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people of Japan, while always wishing for the happiness of the people and the peace of the world, turning my thoughts to the people and standing by them.
I sincerely hope that our country, through our people's wisdom and unceasing efforts, achieves further development and contributes to the friendship and peace of the international community and the welfare and prosperity of humankind.



.......................................................................


What are the 'Takamikura' and the 'Michodai'?



The "Takamikura" throne is said to have been used for important ceremonies since the Nara period, which began in the 8th century.
The current throne, along with the Empress' "Michodai," or the "August Seat", was made in 1913 upon the accession of Emperor Taisho. It has since been used by his two successors: Emperor Showa and the current Emperor's father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito.
The "Takamikura" stands nearly 6.5 meters high. It consists of an elaborately decorated octagonal canopy on a 6-meter-square dais.
The sides of the raised platform are decorated with panels of a phoenix and a dragon-headed creature, called a "Qilin."
The canopy is topped with a large golden statue of a phoenix. Smaller statues adorn the eight corners, with 28 mirrors between them.
Stands called "An" are placed inside the "Takamikura". It is where the sacred sword and the sacred jewel, along with the State Seal and the Privy Seal will be placed.

The "Michodai" has a similar structure, but it is slightly smaller. It's 5.5 meters high, with a 5-meter-square dais.
Curtains hang under the canopies with chairs for the Emperor and Empress in the middle.
At the enthronement ceremony, the Emperor ascends the dais and proclaims his accession.
The Emperor and Empress will only be seen once the curtains are opened.



What is the "Kourozen-no-Gohou"?



The Emperor will wear a traditional reddish brown robe called the "Kourozen-no-Gohou" that can be worn only by an emperor.
The robe was already used as attire for emperors in the 9th century.
It has patterns of paulownia, bamboo, phoenix, and the imaginary Chinese beast called "Qilin" woven in the cloth.
Emperor Meiji was the first emperor who wore the Kourozen-no-Gohou for his enthronement ceremony in 1868.
His predecessors, including his father Emperor Komei, wore a Chinese-style red robe called "benpuku" for their enthronement ceremonies.
Currently, Kourozen-no-Gohou is most commonly worn for rituals at the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor wore the attire a week after his accession to the throne in May for the first time. He performed rituals to report to his ancestors and various deities the dates of main ceremonies following his accession.




A new role as Emperor and Empress
It's been almost half a year since the Emperor ascended the throne. While Emperor Naruhito has been following in his father's footsteps as a Symbol of the state, he's also been searching for a more modern vision as Emperor.
On May 1, the Emperor took part in the "Kenji-to-Shokei-no-gi" -- a ceremony to inherit the Imperial Regalia from his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito.
"I sincerely pray for the happiness of the people and the further development of the nation, as well as the peace of the world," the new Emperor said in his first speech.
To celebrate the succession, 140,000 people visited the Imperial Palace. The couple appeared on the palace balcony six times three days later to greet the public.
The couple has embarked on a new period of imperial diplomacy. Both have spent years living overseas, and have a wide range of international experience to draw on in their interactions and activities going forward.
In late May, the US President came to Japan as a state guest. Both the Emperor and Empress were able to talk with the Trumps without translators.
The imperial couple has visited many regions of the country. One destination was Aichi Prefecture, in central Japan. Crowds of people gathered along the roads to welcome the pair. One woman said, "I don't know why but I have tears in my eyes." A young mother said, " Seeing them inspires me to do my best in life, with my child."
The imperial couple went to a facility for people with disabilities in the prefecture, staying beyond their scheduled hours so they could speak with everyone.
On August 15th, the couple attended a government ceremony to mark the 74th anniversary of the end of World War Two. The Emperor expressed his hope for peace.
He said, "Reflecting on our past and bearing in mind the feelings of deep remorse, I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never again be repeated.
Together with all of our people, I now pay my heartfelt tribute to all those who lost their lives in the war, both on the battlefields and elsewhere, and pray for world peace and for the continuing development of our country."
Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako have continued to travel across the country, as part of their goal in building a strong bond with the Japanese people, from children to elders.




Who are ceremonial attendants?
People in traditional robes will line the palace corridor, as the central enthronement ceremony, called "Sokuirei-Seiden-no-gi," takes place in the "Matsu-no-Ma" State Room.
Ceremonial attendants including "Iginomono," who each carry a sword, a bow and arrows, as well as "Igimono Hojisha," who bear ceremonial items and officials in charge of gongs and drums were originally scheduled to take part.
A total of 78 of the attendants were planned to stand in line outside in the courtyard, along with other officials. But the Imperial Household Agency decided at the last minute to reduce the number to 25 because of heavy rain.
Twenty-six banners, called "ban," will be displayed in the courtyard, as originally planned.
Two bear the word "Banzai" and are nearly nine meters long. The word is embroidered in gold yarn, based on calligraphy drawn by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Ceremony marked with commemorative events
Railways and other businesses across Japan are celebrating the Emperor's enthronement ceremony with special offers.
The operator of the 333-meter-tall Tokyo Tower started selling 10,000 tickets to its main observation deck from 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
The tickets, featuring designs marking the ceremony, are priced the same as regular tickets. Many visitors purchased them, with some saying they made the trip just to get the souvenirs.
Visitors to the 150-meter-high deck were enjoying the view of the capital under rainy skies.
A man in his 60s said he wants people to use the national holiday to celebrate the enthronement and think about the preciousness of peace.
Osaka Metro is also selling commemorative tickets. More than 100 people waited in line early on Tuesday morning at a special sales booth set up at Shin-Osaka Station on the subway Midosuji Line.
The 9-by-20-centimeter ticket features phoenixes, chrysanthemum flowers and other images. One set contains five tickets. A total of 5,000 sets were on offer.
A sixth-grader says he will put his set on display in his bedroom.
People in Dazaifu City in Fukuoka Prefecture, western Japan, are also in a festive mood. The city is associated with an ancient poem from which the name of Japan's new era, Reiwa, was taken.
West Japan Railway added a supplementary name, "Reiwa no Sato," to its Tofuro-mae Station, which is close to the Sakamoto Hachimangu shrine.

丑の刻参り
結婚したくない相手がいる、離婚したい、呪い殺したい時には、蟇目鹿島神社に丑の刻参りをする。これを21日間行い、21日目に神社境内のいちょうの木に五寸釘を親指で押し込んでしまうほど力がこもっていれば願いがかなうというが、その時は髪をふり乱し、口にかみそりをくわえ、鏡を抱き、手にろうそくを持っている。また、途中で人に出会うと願いはかなわぬという。

The 尾張大納言 Lord of Owari once came to Tsushima for hunting with hawks.
To make some special medicine he wanted 狐の生肝 the liver of a living fox. 餌指の市兵衛 Hyoe from Ezanshi captured a fox and got all the meat and fur of the fox as reward.
His wife who was at 清洲 Kiyosu became bewitched by a fox, who wanted to have his revenge.
The 大納言 Lord Dainagon thought the fox was a reijuu 霊獣 sacred animal and sent his retainer 真島権左衛門 Nabeshima Gonzaemon. He let the animal know that he was sacred and had given his life to heal other human beings, which was a rewardable thing to do.
The fox felt honored and let go of the bewitchment.

Once the Lord of Owari went hunting with hawks in the evening.
He heard the voice coming from the mountain forest:
"Where is the Lord of Owari who had killed a saru 猿 monkey on 申の歳申の月申の日 the special day of the monkey in the hour of the monkey during the year of the monkey?"
His companions and he himself could not move any more.
The Lord called for a very strong man to help. This man called toward the mountain:
"Who is it out there? Who is it out there?"
In the morning it seemed the monster has left the place and all came back to their senses.

He felt great pain, went home soon but would not heal at all. He realized it was the punishment of Gozu Tenno and had a shrine built in his honor. After a performance of a ritual Kagura, 神楽湯立, one eye begun to heal. He had 能興行 another ritual of Noh performed and the other eye begun to heal too.

In the area of 阿曽沼 Asonuma swamp lived a man skilled with falcons.
One day he captured oshidori 鴛の雄 a male mandarin duck.
That night in a dream a beauiful woman appeared, crying in dispair.
"Why did you kill my husband?" The hunter said "But I did not kill anybody!"
"Yes you did, today in the swamp." Then she flew off and he saw it was the female mandarin duck.
Next morning he looked at the male duck and saw a female one, her beak like kissing him.
The man had a great shock, stopped hunting and became a monk.

Once there was a thunderbolt at 虚空蔵山 Mount Kokuzo-Yama. But Kokuzo Bosatsu caught the Raiju Yokai and told him "If you do that once again at this place, I will not let you go!"
Since that time, there has not been a thunderbolt any more.
The villagers were very pleased about it and now have a festival every year on January 13.
In other parts they also know that if you venerate Kokuzo Bosatsu, there will be no thunderbolt.
