Description: DescriptionThe Island of Gods: Okinoshima Release Date: 2013/5/17 Language: Japanese Product description: Okinoshima, a sacred island in the Genkai Sea, remains one of the last untouched sanctuaries of Japan. Aboard a ship that faces violent seas, photographer Shinya Fujiwara stands at the bow, braving the rough waters as he approaches the island. Known for its strict taboos, including a ban on women and no removal of anything from the island, Okinoshima is a place of deep reverence and historical significance. From the 4th to the 9th centuries, the island hosted religious rituals for the state, with sacred treasures numbering over 80,000 being found there. The island is an unparalleled site for witnessing the powerful "prayer" and "reverence" for nature. Fujiwara’s photos capture the island's mystical atmosphere, while author Ryutaro Abe delves into the mystery of the ancient Munakata clan that once ruled this sacred place.
