Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | One of the sacred deer sniffs about for scraps- this is the last picture of the sacred Sika deer on Miyajima island, where the UNESCO WOrld Heritage listed Itsukushima shrine is located. The island of Miyajima is home to more than a thousand Sika deer that freely roam the streets. In the Shinto religion, deer are considered to be messengers of gods and, in ancient times, locals would put food out for them in the temples. Until 1637, killing one of these deer was punishable by death. It is still a punishable offence even today, thought he punishment is not quite as drastic. Detailed notes about the Itsukushima shrine and the Sika deer, including reservations some have about the animals relying almost entirely on an unnatural diet- appeared earlier in this album. (see previous pictures earlier in this album). (Hiroshima,Japan, Apr/ May 2019) |
