Abeno Seimei



When you go to the Seimei shrine, you can see this statue.
The statue of the man is Abeno Seimei.
He was one of the most powerful "Onmyo-ji(陰陽師)".
"Onmyo-ji" were diviners and experts in astroogy.
Pleople believed that he had a special spiritual power in those days.
Even today, many people still believe his power.
And they visit to the Seimei Shrine in order to pray to him.
Because it is said that if you pray to him, you can recover from illness or injuries by the grace of his enigmatic spirits.
