Kannabi

Short description: Sacred locations in Shinto

Mount Miwa

Yamato Country Ichinomiya, Okami Shrine, Kannabi (Kintai-san). Ookami Shrine has a mountain as its sacred body and does not have a honden.

Kannabi (神奈備, Kamunabi / Kannabi / Kaminabi) refers to a region in shinto that hosts a mitsumashiro or yorishiro (yorishiro) in which the divine spirit (Kami or Goryo) resides. Or, the natural environment as Kamishiro (shintai). In the Manyoshu, there are seven occurrences (22 poems, 23 examples).

Shintai is a mountain or forest where a deity "sits" or "dwells in seclusion," a forest that serves as a shinzoku or ganza, a shinboku or shintai, or a shintai or Sacred mountain[1] as well as sacred areas with distinctive rocks (Meoto Iwa) and waterfalls (Nachi Falls). It is also a generic term for a roughly woven area and a rock throne. There is also "Kannabino," where there are no forests or rocks to serve as a shrine.

## Outline

There is a theory that the word "kannabi" is derived from "Kannarabi (神並び)", which means "god alignment", or that "nabi" means "hiding" and is a place where "gods hide and bask". The latter, however, has been denied by the discovery of the Kamisai special kana script.

Kannabi is also animism, the embodiment of gratitude, reverence, and awe of nature, but it is also the boundary between Shin'iki (it) (Tokoyo) and Eternal world (ja) (Tokoyo), where the gods reside, and This world (ja) (Utsushiyoko)

As an example of leaving nature untouched, it is emphasized from the perspective of protection of the natural environment. It is valuable as a satoyama and its surrounding culture, and the discovery of endemic soil bacteria has sometimes led to the development of new drugs, and it is a place where natural environmental researchers and others from around the world visit for research.

The Shinto body of today's Shrine Shinto is a "shrine," not a kannabi-sha. Shrine Shinto is also said to be a primitive religion that originally arose spontaneously in Japan, and was derived from Kojindo, which includes nature worship and spirit worship. In today's Shinto shrines, there is usually a deity called "nature" in addition to the Mikoto of the main Saijin, and along with the shrine decorated with Shimenawas as the deity, there is also a shrine called Keidai (ja). inside and outside the shrine, there are sacred trees, sacred stones, and sacred bodies such as lakes, marshes, and waterfalls in the town's forests. In some older shrines, there is no worship hall or honden, and the natural kannabis themselves are enshrined as deities.
