Kirishima Jing\u016b \u2014 Kirishima Grand Shrine \u2014 is one of the most sacred places in Japan, and one of the least known outside it. According to the Kojiki, Japan's oldest chronicle, it was here, on the peak of Mount Takachiho behind the shrine, that the god Ninigi-no-Mikoto descended from heaven to rule the earth \u2014 the moment the imperial line began. The shrine has burned, moved and been rebuilt across fourteen centuries, and its vermilion halls still face the mountain where the gods came down.","bloc_image_1":1718,"bloc_text_2":"","titre_2":"The Descent of the Heavenly Grandson","bloc_text_3":"The story of Kirishima begins before history, in the age of the gods. The sun goddess Amaterasu sent her grandson Ninigi-no-Mikoto down from the High Plain of Heaven to bring order to the earthly realm. He landed on the summit of Mount Takachiho (1,574 m), carrying the three sacred treasures \u2014 mirror, sword and jewel \u2014 and from him descends the imperial family of Japan. The event is called Tenson K\u014drin, the Descent of the Heavenly Grandson, and for the Japanese it is the beginning of the nation itself. Kirishima Jing\u016b enshrines Ninigi as its principal deity, but he is not alone. Beside him are his wife Konohanasakuya-hime, goddess of Mount Fuji and of blossoms; their son Hoori, the hunter-god; his wife Toyotama-hime, the sea princess; and their descendants down to Kamu-yamato-iware-hiko \u2014 the man history remembers as Emperor Jimmu, the legendary first emperor. To walk the shrine grounds is to walk through the genealogy of Japan's founding myth, from the gods to the first throne. The whole mountain range is held to be sacred ground. The shrine's most revered site is not a building at all, but Takachiho-gawara, the high meadow where the descent is said to have happened \u2014 a place of pilgrimage still today.","bloc_image_2":1719,"bloc_text_4":"","titre_4":"A Shrine Rebuilt by Fire \u2014 and by the Shimazu","bloc_text_5":"Shrine tradition dates Kirishima Jing\u016b to the sixth century, but the volcanoes have never let it rest. Its first buildings stood between Mount Takachiho and Mount Ohachi, in the heart of the active range, and eruption after eruption destroyed them. Around 950, the Tendai monk Sh\u014dku moved the shrine to Takachiho-gawara, the meadow of the descent; later it moved again, each time a little further from the fire. The buildings you see today were raised in 1715, paid for by Shimazu Yoshitaka, the fourth lord of the Satsuma domain and twenty-first head of the Shimazu family. Their vermilion lacquer, gold leaf and intricate carvings are so rich that people call Kirishima Jing\u016b the \"Nikko of the West\", after the great shrines of Tochigi. For three centuries they were Important Cultural Properties; on 9 February 2022, the main hall, offering hall and worship hall were raised to the highest honour in Japan \u2014 National Treasures, the first architectural National Treasure in Kagoshima Prefecture. The shrine faces Mount Takachiho across the valley, so that the god's mountain is always in view. On a clear morning the peak rises above the mist that gives Kirishima \u2014 \"the island in the fog\" \u2014 its name.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Cedar, the Stone and the Drums<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLook for the shrine's living treasure first: the goshinboku, a sacred cedar beside the main hall, some 800 years old and about 35 metres tall, its trunk 7.2 metres around. It is said to be the ancestor of all the cedars of southern Kyushu, and visitors press their hands to its bark for a share of its strength. Nearby lies the sazare-ishi, a rock of fused pebbles named in the Japanese national anthem, \"Kimigayo\". Kirishima Jing\u016b is also a shrine of sound. Its treasured nine-faced taiko drums \u2014 the Kirishima Ky\u016bmen Taiko \u2014 thunder across the grounds on 1 January, 11 February, the anniversary of the heavenly descent, and 10 November. Come in late March for some 200 cherry trees in bloom, in June for the crimson Miyama Kirishima azaleas, or in autumn, when the maples burn as red as the halls. And if the place feels like a honeymoon, there is a reason: in 1866 the samurai Sakamoto Ry\u014dma brought his new wife Ory\u014d here \u2014 said to be Japan's first honeymoon. Before you leave, take an omamori from the shrine office: a small piece of the mountain where the gods came down, to carry a little of that beginning with you.\r\n\r\n<img
