Kannabi

From Handwiki

Short description: Sacred locations in Shinto
Omiwa Shrine has Mount Miwa as its Shintai and does not have a honden.[1]

Kannabi (神奈備), also kaminabi or kamunabi, refers to a region in Shinto that is a shintai (repositories in which kami reside) itself, or hosts a kami.[2] They are generally either mountains or forests.[2][3] Nachi Falls is considered a kannabi,[4] as is Mount Miwa.[1]

Overview

They may be host to shinboku (sacred trees), or Iwakura rocks[3] They may have shimenawa, torii, and sandō marking the path towards them.[citation needed]

Shrines dedicated to kannabi often lack a honden or haiden, and instead enshrine the natural kannabi as deities. Ōmiwa Shrine is one such example.[1] Kanasana Shrine also has its mountain be its Shintai[5]
