Katori Shrine
ภาพรวม
Katori Jingu is the twin shrine to Kashima Jingu, together forming the sacred pair that guarded ancient Japan's eastern frontier. Enshrining Futsunushi-no-kami, the deity of swords and lightning, it was one of only three shrines in all of Japan given the prestigious 'Jingu' title in the ancient Engishiki records. The shrine has deep connections to martial arts, and many kenjutsu (swordsmanship) schools trace their spiritual lineage here. It is the head of approximately 400 Katori shrines, most located in the Kanto region. Set in an ancient cedar forest, the approach to the shrine has a timeless quality that transports visitors back centuries.
