Tokyo Shrines with Pictures of Japanese People 100 Years Ago
Fuchu Okunitama Shrine

It is a wonder that when I visit this shrine, my worries disappear, or rather, I feel as if I can "handle" the details and do what I can.

There is an anecdote that Isamu Kondo of the Shinsengumi and other members of the Shinsengumi had a dedication match at the shrine,
The history of the shrine is more than 2,000 years.
It is a sanctuary where many people have made many wishes.
The shrine is like a treasure chest filled with the thoughts and feelings of the Japanese people.

When we visit shrines in Tokyo, we are often amazed at the sanctuaries that have been protected by the people.
Flood, fire, earthquake, war, and worship.
Small shrines, shrines perched on the rooftops of buildings, and shrines directly under expressways.
Sanctuaries that are close to people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video to share these beautiful images with you!
The Japanese landscape and the Japanese people of the past remain in old photographs.
Some of the photos are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with the people of the past!

Furusato (Hometown)
A Japanese children's song and shoka with music by Teiichi Okano and lyrics by Tatsuyuki Takano.
It is a shoka published by the Ministry of Education in 1914 for the sixth grade of "Shoka for Elementary School Children".

Rabbit Oshikishi Kano-no Yama (The Rabbit Chases the Mountain)
Fishing for crucian carp, the river of Kano
Yume ha mondemo megurite
I will never forget my hometown.

How are your parents?
Tsutsugami-no-shinai ya tomogaki (Tsutsugami-no-shinai, my friend)
"Even in the rain and wind..."
I remember my hometown.

"I will follow my heart."
Someday I will return home.
Mountains are blue, my hometown.
The water is clear.

Kono Michi
Japanese children's song with lyrics by Kitahara Hakushu and music by Yamada Kosaku

Kono michi wa itsuka kita michi
Oh, yes, it is.
Akashiya no hana ga hana ga hana ni iru.

Ano hoka wa itsuka mita hoka
Ah, that's right.
Look, there's the white clock tower.

This is the road I came down.
Yes, it is.
I rode there in a carriage with your mother.

And those clouds.
Oh, yes.
And the branches of the prickly ash.

My name is Mayu Noda.
I will introduce the charm of shrines around Tokyo, which I love.
Sometimes temples too.
