文化的背景
The twelve shrines of Kyoto are associated with the legend of Onbashira, a sacred cedar tree that was said to have fallen from heaven. According to myth, the tree was split into twelve pieces, each representing one of the kami. The shrine is believed to be a place where visitors can connect with these powerful spirits and receive blessings.
