A long history of worshipThere are many shrines across Japan that includes the name, ”Kamo (賀茂or 鴨)” , such as the Kamo Shrine of Kyoto. The headquarters to all these shrines is the ”Takakamo Shrine”. It is said to enshrine the deities of the famou Kamo family of Yamato. |
Preserving and cultivating valuable flowersMany people visit the shrine to this day, and one of their objectives is to see the ”Japanese primrose”. Japanese primrose used to grow in the wild, all across the nation from Hokkaido to Kyushu, however it is currently listed as an endangered species, with preservation acts under progress. |
