The Magnificent Floating Shrine, Itsukushima Shinto Shrine.
00:00:00
Mijajima is an island 31 km in circumference in Hiroshima Bay in the Seto Island Sea.
00:00:08
It has been an object of veneration since ancient times.
00:00:14
The Itsukushima Shrine was built here about 800 years ago.
00:00:19
General Taira no Kiyomori erected and dedicated the shrine to the glory of the Taira clan in 1168, towards the end of the Heian era.
00:00:25
With beautiful green vegetation as a backdrop, the red-painted shrine juts outwards, creating a remarkable landscape.

A shrine floating on the sea.
00:00:45
The buildings are connected by a series of long-roofed corridors.
00:00:51
The pillars supporting the building are prone to water erosion.
00:00:58
The entire complex emerges when the tide is out.
00:01:04
Approximately 160 meters from the honden, or main sanctuary, is the otori.
00:01:11
16-meter-high pillars constructed from Japanese camphor tree trunks make up the entrance.
00:01:17
Reverence of the Itsukushima Shrine by the Taira clan is said to have begun when Taira no Kiyomori was appointed the governor of Aki.
00:01:26
At the height of Taira glory, Kiyomori spent lavishly on compiling and dedicating scriptures to the shrine.
00:01:35
There are 32 volumes of scriptures of the Lotus Sutra and the Heart Sutra, hand-copied by members of the Taira clan.
00:01:43
Together with his own writings of his wishes, Taira no Kiyomori himself presented the dedications to the shrine.
00:01:52
Kiyomori is said to have read the sutras intensively, praying for the lasting glory of his clan, dying a peaceful death and going to paradise.
00:02:02
The Shinto priests appear in the roofed corridors in the morning.
00:02:12
After purifying themselves, they would offer their prayers and attend to their duties.
00:02:18
Just four years after Kiyomori's death, the Taira clan clashed with the Genji clan in the Battle of Danuura.
00:02:25
The Taira clan perished in the waters of the Seto Inland Sea.
00:02:34
The shrine today quietly sits on those same waters.
