Description

One colorful and unique display at the Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo Japan is the display of Sake Barrels. In Japanese, they are referred to as kazaridaru, which means ‘decoration barrels’. In some old Japanese texts the word used for sake is a combination of the characters for ‘god’ and ‘wine’. Today that same term is used only for the rice wine used in Shinto rites and festivals. Each year many barrels of Sake are donated and those at the Meiji Shrine are from manufacturers from all over the country. The Sake used for religious festivals and the barrels form a unique display outside the shrine. In the physical, the barrels are empty. In the Spiritual, their significance is major. Meiji Jingu Shrine Sake Barrels are a considered a gift to the gods.
