文化的背景
The San no Aragami Shrine is one of many onryō shrines found throughout Japan, but its unique blend of Shinto and Buddhist traditions sets it apart from other similar sites. The shrine's architecture reflects the influence of Japanese folk religion, with a distinctive thatched roof and a large torii gate.
歴史
The shrine was built during the Edo period (1603-1868), likely as a result of the woman's spirit seeking revenge against the men who wronged her. Over time, the shrine has become a popular destination for those seeking to appease onryō and avoid misfortune.
