喜愛程度(10為滿分):♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥

我在2015年10月時,拜訪了日本關西,順道參觀了那智大社,採購御守及繪馬,八咫烏是在神社旁的黑石鋪所購得之紀念品,去日本前先作足功課,特別選定一定要光顧這家店,ㄧ直以來我對於黑鳥獨有情鍾,黑色礦物雕刻出來的鳥類給人一種難以言諭的神秘感。每隻鳥的型態/嘴長/尺寸都不同,最終挑了這隻嘴巴最尖最長的帶回家。在前往那智大社的陡峭樓梯上,兩旁可見許多紀念品商店都有販售黑石雕刻的商品,這裡生產的那智黑石很有名,用來做成硯台極好,雕刻成各種小動物也是非常的可愛,全日本也僅這一帶有出產。







八咫烏(日語:やたがらす、やたのからす)乃日本神話故事神武東征之際,受高皇產靈神和天照大神之命,從熊野國到大和國為神武天皇帶路的烏鴉,一般描繪為三隻腳的形象。在熊野三山,烏鴉作為「ミサキ」神(神使)受到信仰,日本神話中登場的八咫烏被視為太陽的化身。近世以前常用在起請文的熊野牛玉寶印繪有烏鴉。那智大社是熊野的三大神社之一(熊野三大神社:熊野本宮大社,速玉神社和那智大社),三足鳥(Yatagarasu,八咫烏)被視為神明派遣到熊野三山的使者

"This souvenir shop is half way along the approach to Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine and Seigantoji Temple. They sell traditional Nachiguro inkstones used for calligraphy, made of Nachiguroishi black stone. Officially designated Wakayama Prefecture souvenirs, these items are of such superb quality that they've been presented to the Imperial family as gifts. The second-generation shopkeeper is recognized as a Wakayama Prefecture master craftsman and has won the Japan Inter-Design Award. The shop is renowned for a kind of inkstone known as the ""Mandala-no-Michi,"" made from a particularly rare variety of Nachiguroishi black stone. Their figurines of owls and the mythical yatagarasu are popular."
