Kami ga Oritatta Mori de - Kasuga Taisha Inori no Kiroku -

[Machine Translation] Kasuga Taisha Shrine has been located in the capital city of Nara, which has been the focus of attention since the 1,300th anniversary of the Heijo-kyo Capital. The vast forests and rituals hidden in the shrine, the spiritual world that is the origin of the Japanese people, and the changing seasons of Kasuga Taisha are visualized in this film. --Kasuga-taisha Shrine in Nara is located halfway up Mount Mikayama, the sacred mountain of the Fujiwara clan. Kasuga Taisha has protected the capital of Nara as the Fujiwara clan's guardian deity for over 1,000 years, and more than 1,500 rituals are still performed at the shrine every year, in a manner that is exactly the same as at that time. The beautiful seasonal scenery of the vast forest and shrine, as well as the gods and their presence that our ancestors held in their hearts, are captured for the first time on film by a television camera. The film invites the viewer to enter the forest of the gods.
