Grandfather Tuwharerangi and Te Porohau with staff at Kashima Grand Shrine
We were escorted and guided through the sacred grounds of the Kashima Grand Shrine by senior staff we thank them very much for the privilege also Grandfathers give love and respect to Junko and Yukiko elder brother Okawa for their company
Two grandfathers with two priests who gave us the histories and mysteries of the Kashima Grand Shrine, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It spoke of huge kaitiaki that live in the Earth underneath the Shrine and keep it safe from Earthquake and Flood. Namazu is the name of the Great Giant Fish that has the Kaitiakitanga Role that keeps them safe. It is so deep in the roots of the Shinto Religion. Thank you so very much gentlemen for the wonderful tour of the Grounds.
Here we are accompanied by Yukiko Okawa whose father loves and supports the Kashima Grand Shrine with both works, donations and significant honours. Thank you, Yukiko, our love and blessings from the Waitaha Grandfathers.
