TJMOOK / We Japanese have been associated with gods and Buddhism since ancient times, not only as an object of faith. However, how much do we know about shrines, temples, gods and Buddhism that are supposed to be close to us? "Why is there a torii gate at a shrine?" "What is the meaning of Shimenawa (sacred straw ropes)?" Can you answer these questions smoothly? This magazine will reveal the world of shrines and temples, which we don't know much about, with illustrations and illustrations. It takes up gods and Buddhism, which have been closely connected with Japanese nature and the life of the Japanese people since ancient times, and looks at the world that can be called the original scenery of the Japanese mind.
