What happened in Kyoto City before Heian-kyo? This is a unique historical educational book that explores the depth of Kyoto City's shrines and history from a deep point of view. Kyoto may have a strong image of Buddhism and temples since the Heian period after the transfer of the capital. However, there are many shrines with a long history since before the transfer of the capital, and these have been hidden in the image since the Heian period. Surprisingly, there are many Furuyashiro around Kyoto City that have been enshrined since before the establishment of Heian-kyo. In addition, the two Kamo Shrine are Furuyashiro that can be said to be the Jinushigami of Kyoto City, but according to legend, their enshrined deities moved gradually from Yamato Province (Nara Prefecture) along the Kizu-gawa River and Kamo river to Yamashiro Province (Kyoto City), and interestingly, Furuyashiro enshrining Kamo-gami are scattered along the route. In addition, there are many shrines related to Kamo no kami (God of Kamo). In addition, there are Hata Family and many other Shinto shrines. This book focuses on these Furuyashiro of Kyoto City, along with their hidden charms, delving into the unknown historical background before Heian-kyo, and approaching the depth of Kyoto City with a wealth of photographs.
