Haguro-san, Dewa Sanzan – Yamagata – 羽黒山 – 4K Ultra HD

Dewa Sanzan (出羽三山) which literally means: the three mountains of Dewa, are sacred mountains in Yamagata Prefecture, each with a shrine on or near its peak including Haguro-San representing birth, Gas-san representing death and Yudono-san representing rebirth.

At the center of Dewa Sanzan worship, you will find the Shugendo religion based on mountain worshiping blending both Buddhism and Shinto traditions. Shugendo practitioners are called Yamabushi where feats of endurance are parts of their worshiping.

Unlike other temples of Dewa Sanzan, the Haguro-san top temple is accessible by car and as such it’s not only the first visited temple of them all but also the most popular! However, to appreciate the beauty of Haguro-san, it is advised, like we did, to climb the 2446 stairs to arrive on top of the mountain and enjoy the 33 figures carved into the stone steps. There enjoy the magnificent five-storied pagoda, erected in 937, located at the base of the mountain and hidden in a dense forest.

Haguro-san’s main shrine holds the deities from all three Dewa Sanzan shrines, making it the most important of them all. Sanjin Gosaiden, the main building, features the thickest thatched roof in Japan with, according to the temple owners, a thickness of over two meters!

Français
Dewa Sanzan (出羽三山), qui signifie littéralement “les trois montagnes sacrées de Dewa, sont bel et bien trois montagnes sacrées de la préfecture de Yamagata. Chacune d’elle est accompagnée d’un sanctuaire au sommet, ou tout près, qui sont Haguro-san représentant la naissance, Gas-san pour la mort, et Yudono-san évoquant la re-naissance.

Le culte gravitant autour de Dewa Sanzan provient de la religion Shugendo, un culte propre aux montagnes, unissant les traditions Bouddhistes et Shinto. Les pratiquants du Shugendo, les Yamabushi, sont en quête de l’exploit et de l’endurance.

Contrairement au temple de Dewa Sanzan, le temple de Haguro-san est accessible en voiture est est le plus visité et le plus populaire! Cependant, afin d’apprécier la beauté de Haguro-san, il est conseillé, comme nous l’avons nous-même fait, de grimper les 2446 marches pour se rendre au sommet tout en profitant des 33 statues gravées dans la roche ainsi que la magnifique pagode de 5 étages érigée en 937, et située à la base de la montagne dissimulant une forêt dense.

Le sanctuaire principal de Haguro-san possède les divinités des trois sanctuaires de Dewa Sanzan, ce qui le rend plus important que les autres. Sanjin Gosaiden, la bâtiment principal, a le toit de chaume le plus épais du Japon, une épaisseur de 2 mètres d’après les propriétaires du temple!
