Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.

Dancing Buzzword - Behind the Buzzword (9) Blockchain(3)

Japan's premier blockchain is the world's longest-running system

This time, unusually, I touched on Japanese mythology, but of course, I knew nothing about Japanese mythology.

To be honest, I know more about the Old Testament and the New Testament (somewhat).

So, I referred to the instruction book this time.

This is the book.

I love this book so much, I brought it into the bathroom and I think I have reread it about 100 times already.

Thanks to this book, I fell in love with the stories of Kojiki and Japanese mythology.

I was running around and taking pictures all over Izumo Taisha.

In particular, the model of the ancient main shrine of Izumo Taisha (which was four times as tall as the current one, about 96 meters (hypothetical)) and the remains of the "Ancient Main Shrine Heart Pillar" that formed the basis for the model in the Treasure Hall -- honestly, I was shaken.

I also enjoyed the Shimane Prefectural Museum of Ancient Izumo History. The "Bronzes and Golden Daggers" was particularly impressive.

In addition, this may sound like bad taste, but I love to read other people's Ema(votive tablets).

The Ema (votive picture tablet) at Izumo Taisha, the "largest matchmaking shrine in Japan," was full of "outrageous descriptions" as I expected.

This time, I developed the theory that "the Emperor System = Credit System". Even without such a story, Japanese mythology is "pretty cool content"

I quite like the fact that the Japanese gods (the emperor's ancestors) were quite "clunky".

When you visit a shrine on New Year's Day, just knowing which deity is worshipped there will amplify your enjoyment many times over.
