文化的背景
Itsukushima Shrine is famous for its 'floating' hall, a phenomenon that occurs during high tide. The shrine is also closely associated with the legend of Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who is said to have created the sea and brought rain to the land. During the Setsubun festival in February, visitors can participate in a purification ritual by throwing beans at a statue of Inari.
歴史
The shrine was rebuilt in 1869 after being damaged by fire.
