Yasaka Shrine

***', also known as ***', is a shinto shrine in the Gion District of Kyoto, Japan. It is the central shrine of Gion worship. It sits at the east end of Fourth Avenue and has various buildings such as gates, a main hall, and a stage. The shrine worships Susanoo as its main deity, along with his partner Kushinadahime on the east and eight other gods known as yahashira no mikogami on the west. These eight gods include Yashimajinumi no kami, Itakeru no kami, Ōyatsuhime no kami, Tsumatsuhime no kami, Ōtoshi no kami, Ukanomitama no kami, Ōyatsuhiko no kami, and Suseribime no mikoto.

## History

The Shrine was first built in 656 and during the early Heian period, it gained support from the Imperial family.  In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered the practice of presenting heihaku, or offerings of white cloth, to the guardian kami of Japan to report important events. Initially, these offerings were presented to 16 shrines.; In 991, Emperor Ichijō expanded the list of shrines to which important events were reported to by adding three more shrines to the existing 16 on Emperor Murakami's list. Three years later, in 994, Emperor Ichijō further refined the list by adding Umenomiya Shrine and Gion Shrine.

From 1871 to 1946, Yasaka Shrine was recognized as one of the Kanpei-taisha (officially ranked Imperial shrines), which placed it in the highest tier of government-supported shrines..

## Matsuri

In 869, Japan suffered from a severe epidemic, and the Emperor believed it was caused by vengeful spirits. To calm these spirits, a Shinto ritual was performed at Shinsenen, a lake at the Imperial Palace. Representatives used 66 pikes for each of the 66 regions in the country at that time. This ritual was known as goryo-e, and later became an annual event called the Gion Matsuri, associated with the Gion Shrine in Kyoto. Over time, the pikes were decorated and became larger, eventually evolving into the well-known Gion Matsuri yamaboko floats. During the Gion Matsuri festival, the decorated Gion Matsuri yamaboko floats and portable shrines from Yasaka Shrine travel through the main streets of Kyoto to purify them and protect against epidemics and other harm. This festival takes place every July and has gained global recognition.

Yasaka Shrine is a popular destination for people to celebrate traditional Japanese New Year rituals and for cherry blossom viewing in April, as crowds pass through the temple on their way to Maruyama Park. The shrine also hosts lanterns on its stage which display the names of festival sponsors.

Inbe clan

The **Inbe clan** (陰部氏 Inbe-shi) were a strong family in Japan a long time ago, during a time called the Kofun period (250-538 CE) and the Asuka period (538-710 CE). They came from an area called Kibi Province, which is now Okayama Prefecture. They were prominent in their links to religion.

They claimed descent from Futodama.

## History

The clan started off as low class but gained power due to religious reasons.  During the reign of Emperor Kōtoku, the Inbe, along with the Nakatomi and Urabe families, were tasked with supervising the Department of Divinities.

During the Asuka period, the Inbe clan became more prominent and was involved in the political and military affairs of the Yamato court. In 587 CE, the Inbe clan was part of the allied forces that fought against the powerful Soga clan in the Battle of Shigisan. The battle resulted in the defeat of the Soga clan and the Inbe clan's rise in power.

During the 7th century, the Inbe clan had important roles in the Yamato court, including the position of Ō-omi, responsible for managing the court's affairs. In 645 CE, the clan supported Prince Naka no Ōe, who later became Emperor Tenji, in a successful coup against his mother Empress Kōgyoku.

During the Nara period (710-794 CE), the Inbe clan's influence declined, and they were gradually overtaken by the Nakatomi clan and their descendant clan the Fujiwara clan. In 807 their leader wrote the  to complain to the Emperor over their exclusion.

They migrated to the east soon after and built the

## Legacy

The Inbe clan was an influential group in Japan during the Kofun and Asuka periods. They were based in the Kibi Province, and were involved in politics and military affairs. Their legacy is still present in Japanese culture today, as they were responsible for building the Inbe Shrine, an important religious site. The Inbe clan's name can also be found in literary works such as the Man'yōshū. The Japanese government recognizes the Inbe clan as an important historical group, designating them as such in 1967.

Anne Bassett earned the “Queen” part of her name because, at a young age when her parents did not sell the ranch, there were cattle rustlers that started stealing cattle Anne Bassett's mother took matters into her own hands. She started cattle rustling the cattle barons. When Anne’s mother got too old Anne Bassett took over her place and earned the nickname “Queen Ann”. When Anne was 19, she was running her family's small ranch. One of her struggles as a cattle ranch owner, when she was young, was having to fight against cattle barons. Queen Anne Bassett was said to wear a parted skirt that made it easier to ride her horse with a man's saddle. She was also known as a fearless horsewoman. Anne Bassett was fresh out of Boston finishing school, making her a strange mix of a gunslinger and a refined gentlewoman.

Anne Bassett was a friend of well-known bandits such as Butch Cassidy’s gang.

Cripps Mission

The British Government dispatched the Cripps Mission on 23th March, 1942, led by Sir Stanford Cripps, to speak with Indian officials in order to gain their cooperation and commitment for Britain's efforts in World War II. The Indian leaders were assured that they would be given full self-government after the war.

The first meeting was with Gandhi on 24th March, 1942 and then on 30th March, 1942 with the Congress. (Official Negotiators: Jawaharlal Nehru, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Sardar Ujjwal Singh, Savarkar M.R. Jaykar, and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar)

However, both Congress and Muslim league rejected this proposal for different reasons.
Gandhi did not like the idea of states separated from united India. Mr. Jinnah did not wish to compromise on the constitution-making process even though he could see the making of Pakistan built into this proposal.

In response to this proposal, a new movement was formed, 'QUIT INDIA', led by Mahatma Gandhi.

God Save the South

"**God Save the South**" was the unofficial anthem of the Confederate States of America. The words of the song were written by George H. Miles and the melody was composed by Charles Wolfgang Amadeus Ellerbrock. The song was first published in 1861.

Some people living in the Confederacy thought this song was their anthem, while others preferred "Dixie".

The same composer of this song, Charles Ellerbrock, arranged the melody of Maryland's state song "Maryland, My Maryland".

It was first published in New Orleans, Louisiana, and it was the first song published in the CSA since the Ordinance of Secession.

Zhangixalus viridis

The **Okinawa green tree frog**, **Okinawa aogaeru**, **Amami aogaeru**, **Amami green tree frog**, or **green flying frog** (_Zhangixalus viridis_) is a type of frog. It lives in Japan, in Okinawa.  It lives on three islands, Okinawajima, Iheyajima, and Kumejima.

The adult male frog is about 45-56 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 65-77 mm long.  The skin of the frog's back is very green but it can be brown.  There are disks on its toes for climbing. The belly is yellow or white in color.

People have seen this frog in wetlands and paddy fields.  People have seen this frog between 50 and 500 meters above sea level.

The adult frog makes a bubble foam near the end of the water in a rice paddy, marsh, or other place with water.  The male frog sometimes digs a hole for the eggs.  When the eggs hatch, the foam turns into liquid.  The liquid goes into the paddy or pool, and the tadpoles go with it.

The tadpoles can be 40 mm or even 50 mm long. Tadpoles have a long tail with small spots on it. The young frogs are 17-19 mm long from nose to rear end.

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks.
Div and span

Div and span are HTML tags. They are used for changing the style of web pages.

The div tag is a generic block-level element used for associating and grouping together a larger chunk of a web page – usually a section such as a header, footer, the main content, and so on.

The span tag is an inline element that you use to make a smaller part of content stand out with CSS or JavaScript. You shouldn't nest span unless you thoroughly know what you're doing – but you can put multiple span tags within a block-level element.

## Examples

For example, to make a certain part of text inside a paragraph red, `span` can be used as follows:

|style="width:33.3%;"|HTML syntax <span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 98%">(web code used to add formatting to text)</span>|style="width:33.3%;"|Rendered output <span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 98%">(as seen by visitors of the webpage)</span>|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
||I am <span style="color: red;">red</span> and I am <span style="color: blue;">blue</span>!|||

Tokoyo

, also known as the , or Taikaikan, is a place in the Shinto religion where nothing changes that is believed to be the world of the gods and ancestral spirits. It is said to be a place of eternal youth where people never age. The location of Tokoyo varies between stories. Sometimes it is underwater, in others underground, and in others in the sky. Interpretations have varied as to whether it is good or bad. There are various stories about Tokoyo in classic texts such as the Kojiki and Nihongi. Motoori Norinaga classified three types of Tokoyo: a world of perpetual darkness, a world of eternal youth, and a world across the sea.

There are many stories about Tokoyo found in classic texts like Kojiki and Nihongi. For example, there is a story about tajimamori who went to Tokoyo during the reign of Emperor Suinin to help him become immortal. Another story is about a cult that emerged during the reign of Empress Kogyoku, which was dedicated to the god of Tokoyo and was very enthusiastic.

## Identification with Mount Penglai

In the story of Urashima Tarō, Tokoyo is linked with a place called Mount Penglai. In the original Chinese text, Mount Penglai is called Horai, but it's also noted that it should be pronounced as Tokoyo-no-kuni.

The asteroid 162173 Ryugu has two fossae named after Tokoyo and Penglai, respectively.

Two bows, two claps, one bow

"Two bows, two claps, one bow" (二礼二拍手一礼) is a ritual people do when they enter Shinto shrines. As the name suggests it involves bowing twice, clapping twice, and then bowing once more.

To show respect for the gods, it is important to follow proper etiquette, with "two bows, two claps, one bow" being the most commonly used method. This ritual has evolved over time and is a reflection of the respect and reverence for the deities.."

While there have been various historical systems, this is currently the one that is most widely used.

This method is widely considered as the standard when visiting shrines However, there may be some local variations depending on the specific shrine. For example, at shrines such as Usa Jingū and Izumo-taisha, visitors should clap four times rather than the usual twice.

The practice of "two bows, two claps, one bow" is also sometimes referred to as "2-2-1".

## Procedure

The procedure goes as follows

1. Bow once before entering Torii
    1. Do not walk through the center of a Torii as that is reserved for deities
1. Purify hands and mouth with chozuya
1. Put money in the offering box
1. Ring the bell 2-3 times if present
1. Bow twice
1. Clap twice
1. Bow once This bow should be deeper than the others at a 90-degree angle
1. When exiting the shrine, turn around and again bow once at the Torii.

The practice of "two bows, two claps, one bow" can be traced back to the "Shrine Festival" in 1873, where it was referred to as  Over time, different methods were developed and refined, resulting in the current etiquette. In the 40th year of the Meiji era, the "Shrine Rituals and Events Etiquette" was established, which defined the etiquette as "returning, clapping twice, pressing together, praying, praying, clapping twice, and bowing again."

It is widely acknowledged that "two bows, two claps, one bow" is the formal etiquette of worship for the chief priest. This etiquette was developed through the extensive experience and improvements made by the predecessors and is a testament to the reverence and respect for the gods.
