The Grand Izumo Exhibition:
On the Occasion of the Renovation of Izumo Taisha Shrine and 1300
Years of the Kojiki Chronicle
This year marks the 1300th anniversary since the compilation of
Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and next year, 2013, is the
grand installation ceremony of Izumo Taisha, which takes place for
the first time in almost sixty years. In commemoration of this, the
Kyoto National Museum will hold an unprecedented exhibition
introducing treasures from the ancient Izumo shrines and closely
affiliated temples as well as artifacts excavated from historic
sites in Izumo in a single venue. This exhibition includes new
discoveries made during preparatory surveys. Presented will also be
an overview of Izumo legends, the beginning of Izumo Shrine, and
the forms of prayers offered to the gods and buddhas by the ancient
and medieval people of Izumo.
