Ise Shrine Miyama Cedar Omuchinotama (Great Jewel) [Powerswood]

Ise Grand Shrine's Miyama Cedar, Omuchinotama

The power of wood Daily gratitude, great luck, good fortune, good luck

The large cedar tree at the Inner Shrine of the Imperial Grand Shrine of Ise Jingu, where the eight mirrors, one of the three sacred treasures, are enshrined.
These are some of the structures that collapsed during Typhoon Hagibis in 2009.
Ise Shrine consists of the Inner Shrine, which enshrines the great ancestor Amaterasu Omikami, and the Outer Shrine, which enshrines Toyouke Omikami, the guardian deity of food, clothing, and shelter.
The cedar trees that grow in the sacred area known as Jingu no Mori are called "Jingu cedars."
Because trees within the shrine grove cannot be cut down, only sacred trees of Ise Shrine that have been blown down by wind and are over 300 years old are renamed "Miyama Cedar" and are very rarely sold to the public.
The "muchi" in Oomuchinotama is an honorific meaning "noble god," and the name means "a pearl from a very noble god."
