| Overview |
Kamishima, an island connecting the Shima and Atsumi peninsulas at the mouth of Ise
Bay, is situated in a dangerous sea area with fast tidal currents and many hidden reefs. The
ritual artifacts kept as votive objects at the Yatsushiro Shrine are categorized into those of
about the 6th century, 8th to 9th centuries, and from the 10th century onward, but their
historical trails are unknown. The background to the rituals is assumed to be related to the
Yamato court and Ise Jingu. |
