Kasuga Taisha Shrine is a shrine located in Nara Park, Nara City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It used to be called Kasuga Shrine. It was built in the second year of Hedong (710). The gods worshiped in the company include the order of the martial urn, the order of the Lord of Jingjin, the order of the roof of heaven and the god of selling. The builder is Fujiwara Bubi and so on. In December 1998, UNESCO listed the
"cultural heritage of the ancient capital Nara", including Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Kasugayama Primeval Forest, as a world cultural heritage. 1,300 years ago, when the capital of Nara was established, in order to achieve the prosperity of the Japanese country and the happiness of the people, Kasuga Taisha Shrine came to the floating cloud peak on the top of Kamiyama Yugai Mountain from Kashima Jingu Shrine to welcome the statue of the god of the god of the hammer.
On November 9th of the 2nd year of Jingyun (768), the flourishing god of the Tenpyo culture, under the order of Emperor Toku, Fujiwara Nagate, the Minister of the Left, built a magnificent and majestic shrine halfway up the mountain.
From the Katori Shrine, Jingjinshu was invited, and from the Hiraoka Shrine, the noble gods such as Ten'er Roof and Bimei God were invited to worship them together. This opened the history of Kasuga Taisha. Since the founding of Kasuga Taisha, for thousands of years, the vermilion pillars, white walls and the roof made of natural cypress have witnessed eternity. The main hall and the shrine hall stand in the primeval forest with their eternal and majestic posture. By adhering to the system of renovating the social hall every 20 years - the restoration of the social hall, rebuilding the social items, and holding more solemn traditional ceremonies, the Japanese tradition can be inherited endlessly. The Spring Festival is full of pure and solemn atmosphere, which can make people deeply feel the vast and boundless power and gifts of the gods.
In addition, there are as many as 3,000 Kasuga branch shrines and 3,000 donated stone lanterns across the country, which have a wide range of influence and great faith dissemination power.The ceremony of Buddha, holding up to 1,000 festivals a year, constantly prays for peace, human happiness and coexistence and
common prosperity in Japan and even the world.
