| The
aramitama spirit of Toyouke Omikami |
Ancient Japanese believed
that the kami had various aspects. Most wellknown are the peaceful
aspect of nigimitama, and the energetic aspect of aramitama.
The Taka-no-miya is the sanctuary enshrining aramitama spirit of
Toyouke Omikami. This sanctuary is pared with the main sanctuary
at the Geku, where the nigimitama spirit of Toyouke Omikami is enshrined.
Therefore, the rituals at the main sanctuary always followed by
similar rituals at the Taka-no-miya, both of which an Imperial envoy
participates in both ceremonies. |
