[DEEP JAPAN] Worships the first sunrise in Japan's Happy New Year🌅

[YasumiKikuchi]

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!😃 I wish you a good year!📈 

(First day sunrise in 2019, Disaster area in Arahama, Sendai, Miyagi)

In Japan there is a custom of worshiping the first sunrise that year🌅🙏. Because the Japanese believe that God lives in all objects and intangible. Therefore, without being taught by someone, we naturally go to see the first sunrise🚶‍♂️.

(Quotation from the National Diet Library Japan)

The record of sunrise habits remained in the Edo period. This picture is "洲崎はつ日の出 Suzaki hatsuhinode" drawn by "初代 歌川広重 Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858)". Some people think that worshiping the first sunrise is a custom of the former Japanese army, but as mentioned above it has been running naturally since ancient times.

The Japanese who believes that all objects are gods thinks of the sun is the highest god because it made the earth. Therefore, "天照大御神 Amaterasu" is considered to be the sun. They think that it is a goddess because it is a woman that can be born👸.

What does the sun mean to your country? Do you worship the sunrise?
