To the ancient forest<\/h3>\n

Ukiyo wo ba Ima zo wakaruru Todomara nu
\nNawo ba tadasu no Kami ni makasete<\/p>\n

“Let’s leave to the god of “Tadasu no Mori” that the rumors about myself are going on now, and I will leave the hard world that we are living in.”<\/p>\n

This poetry is “Waka” (Japanese poetry) written by Hikaru Genji in “Genji Monogatari” (The Tale of Genji).
\n“Tadasu”, which is being written here, is “Tadasu no Mori”.<\/p>\n

This song is that seems to have entrusted my feelings to “Tadasu no Mori”.
\nLet’s visit the forest where the ancient people in Kyoto attracted the heart.<\/p>\n

Through the Torii<\/h3>\n

Torii of Shimogamo Shinto shrine is vivid vermilion.
\nBeyond that, the forest grows green and dense.<\/p>\n

\"\u7cfa\u306e\u68ee3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, “Tadasu no Mori” is the “Chinju no Mori”, sacred forests surrounding shrines of Shimogamo Shrine.<\/p>\n

\"\u7cfa\u306e\u68ee4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fresh green covers the approach to the Shimogamo Shrine.
\nThe sunshine is blocked by the lush trees, the inside of the woods is wrapped in dignified air.<\/p>\n

\"\u7cfa\u306e\u68ee5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The light over the green is soft and you can feel the clean air.
\nWhy don\u2019t you take a deep breath in the full of trees “Tadasu no Mori”?<\/p>\n

\"\u7cfa\u306e\u68ee6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In “Tadasu no Mori” over the torii, it is filled a sense of security that gently wraps the worshipers, and with a comfortable tension feeling that your back muscles stretch straightly.<\/p>\n

I felt that I could understand a little why the ancient people in Kyoto directed their attention to “Tadasu no Mori”.<\/p>\n

Mitarashi Festival<\/h3>\n

“Mitarashi Festival” is the shrine ritual of the Shimogamo Shrine, and held every five days before and after \u201cDoyo Ushi No Hi\u201d (the Midsummer Day of the Ox).<\/p>\n

\"\u7cfa\u306e\u68ee7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although “Tadasu no Mori” is always quiet, the day of “Mitarashi Festival” is crowded with people who enjoy the festival.<\/p>\n

“Mitarashi Festival” is called \u201cAshitsuke-Shinji\u201d, the shrine ritual that attached the foot.
\nThey put a foot in the water and pray for state of perfect health.<\/p>\n
