Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Nara, Japan Kasuga Grand Shrine (春日大社 Kasuga-taisha?) is a Shinto shrine in the city of Nara, in Nara Prefecture, Japan.[1] Established in 768 AD and rebuilt several times over the centuries, it is the shrine of the Fujiwara family. The interior is famous for its many bronze lanterns, as well as the many stone lanterns that lead up the shrine. The architectural style Kasuga-zukuri takes its name from Kasuga Shrine's honden (sanctuary). Kasuga Shrine, and the Kasugayama Primeval Forest near it, are registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara". The path to Kasuga Shrine passes through Deer Park. In Deer Park, deer are able to roam freely and are believed to be scared messengers of the Shinto gods that inhabit the shrine and surrounding mountainous terrain. Kasuga Shrine and the deer have been featured in several paintings and works of art of the Nambokucho Period.[2] Over a thousand stone lanterns line the way. The Man'yo Botanical Garden, Nara is adjacent to the shrine.

Établi en 768 et reconstruit plusieurs fois au cours des siècles, c'est le mausolée de la famille Fujiwara. L'intérieur est célèbre pour ses nombreuses lanternes de bronze, alors que l’extérieur se distingue par ses nombreuses lanternes de pierre qui mènent au monument. Le sanctuaire de Kasuga et la forêt primaire de Kasugayama tout près, sont enregistrés au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO comme faisant partie des monuments historiques de l'ancienne Nara. Le style architectural Kasuga-zukuri prend son nom du honden (bâtiment principal) du Kasuga-taisha. Le chemin jusqu’au Kasuga-taisha passe par le Deer Park où des cerfs apprivoisés errent librement. Plus de mille lanternes en pierre longent la voie. Le jardin botanique Man'yo de Nara est adjacent au sanctuaire. (Wikipedia FR: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasuga_Taisha )
