『 Ancient Judaism and Jewish culture
are cleverly CAMOUFLAGED in Japan! 』
The Lost Ten Tribes of ancient Israel have traveled the Silk Road
to Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun!
The Jews of West Asia headed east, found a safe heaven, and assimilated
with Japanese people and its culture.
And finally, thanks to the contributions of ancient Jews, "Jerusalem of the East" was realized
as Kyoto(京都) "Heian-kyo(平安京)" in 794 AD.
Shrines that originate from the Jewish festival of Passover can be found
all over Japan. Ise Jingu Grand Shrine, the head shrine of Japanese Shinto,
is said to have been also influenced by ancient Judaism.
The shrine crest of Kono Jinja Shrine( or Former Ise Shrine located in the
northern part of Kyoto prefecture) is said to be Hexagram, which is
the same symbol that appears on the Israeli flag.

『 Solomon's treasure, the Ark of the Covenant, sealed in Japan... 』
An annual shrine festival has been held in which people carry
the portable shrine(Mikoshi) to the top of the sacred mountain.
Immediately after the war, the occupying US General Head Quarter banned
Japanese people from entering the area and conducted an investigation.
A Japanese high priest, Kukai who has been of Jewish descent, is said to
have erected a barrier to protect Solomon's treasure in the 9th century.
There are other signs that ancient Jews came to Japan;
a) The shrine that resembles Jewish temples,
b) The shrine with divine crest that resembles the shape of
a Jewish candlestick(Menorah)
