Ise Jingu (Mie Japan)

Taka-no-miya

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.
