suwa shrine story Of the roughly 50 shrines around town, Suwa is considered by locals to be Nagasaki's main shrine because it is the largest and one of the oldest in the city. Suwa is a complex of dark wooden buildings, tucked among trees and balanced on a slope. Every October, the deities from Suwa come down to bless and purify the city as part of the Kunchi Festival, which is well-known around Japan's southern main island of Kyushu. journalism.berkeley.edu /projects/nagasaki/stories/suwashrine.html   (1012 words)

SUWA SHRINE> Neither mythically nor ancestrally based, the reason Suwa Shrine exists at all is partially due to the influence of Christianity in southern Japan in the 16th and 17th centuries and the subsequent struggle by the authorities to win back the loyalties and obedience of the local populace. Beginning with the celebration of 1634, the deities of Suwa Jinja were put into portable shrines (mikoshi) and carried through the streets of the city to a harbor-side location where, in a "normal" Japanese city, the population would come readily to seek closer access to the powers of these Kami. As the city rebuilt, the priests from Suwa Shrine were a visible presence out in the neighborhoods, consecrating land and purifying existing structures of the death and suffering that had so recently filled them. www.uwosh.edu /home_pages/faculty_staff/earns/suwa.html   (3645 words)

SUWA on the Defense: They're Spewing Propaganda Again SUWA’s Dec. 15 letter, mailed to Garfield and Kane County residents, is similar to another one sent in October 2003 with accusations of improper actions by local county commissioners and Utah state representatives.
