Takamagahara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takama-ga-hara (Japanese: 高天原), or "The High Plain of Heaven," is a place in Japanese mythology. In Shinto, Takama-ga-hara is the dwelling place of the Kami. It is believed to be connected to the Earth by the bridge Ama no uki hashi. In Shinto worship, the kami are invited to leave Takama-ga-hara and enter a shrine or some other purified place.
