Through the sacred rite of kanj\u014d (ceremony of invitation and transfer of a divine presence into an object \/ \u52e7\u8acb), the statue serves as the vessel through which the divine presence of My\u014dken is enshrined within the Hokushin-Jinja (Shrine of the North Star \/ \u5317\u8fb0\u795e\u793e).<\/p>\n                    \n\n                    \n                    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wooden statue depicts My\u014dken in his traditional form as a deity of war, holding a raised sword above his head. Within the symbolism of My\u014dken worship, the sword represents vigilance, righteous strength, and the divine authority to overcome and strike down forces that threaten cosmic order and harmony. Furthermore, his stern expression and upright posture embody the virtues for which he has long been revered: unwavering determination, protection, and guidance amidst life's ever-changing circumstances.<\/p>\n                    \n\n                    \n                    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carved from a single solid block of wood, the statue bears the traces of centuries of veneration and preservation. More than merely a work of religious art, it serves as the embodiment of My\u014dken\u2019s presence within Hokushin-Jinja, thus forming the focal point of all worship taking place at the shrine.<\/p>\n                    \n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Im Zentrum des Sei\u014dden (Halle des K\u00f6nigs der Sterne \/ \u661f\u738b\u6bbf) befindet sich [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/full-width-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1651","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1651"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1701,"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1651\/revisions\/1701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hokushin-jinja.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
