Thought
with introduction by Fujimiya, Noriko -- 目見子内親王
When the Shrine High Priestess, Man’yōshū Saiō, found me, she
went to her knees and wept, for she saw in the mirror the
reflection of my Vision. I felt as if I was waking from a dream;
there was the softest morning dew that had settled in glistening
pebbles on the white of my arms; and a haze that had gathered
around the Shrine, protecting it from the Mongols. I knew then
that I was awakened to something greater. When my father came
to collect me, he spoke to his sister (for, the Shrine was protected
by a female member of the Imperial Family, honoring the will of
Amaterasu ōmikami) and lamenting, he left me there. From that
day forward, I was honed as a sister of the Akashic Record.
At that time, we were half way into the Kamajura period (which
spanned between 1185 and 1333); our Japanese “medieval”
era...a time in which the emperor, the court, and the traditional
central government were left intact, but were largely relegated to
ceremonial functions. Civil, military and judicial matters were
controlled by the bushi shogun, Hironotaka Niakon (a position
that eventually, my eldest brother claimed), who owed a great
deal to my father. Buddhism had been planted centuries earlier,
but in these dark times a popularization for salvation spanned the
country, with two new sects springing up. The Jodo-shu ( Pure
Land Buddhism) and Zen (meditation) became the response to
the outreach by the people; hoping for eternal peace. Older
forms, such as the Heian Buddhism that we practiced,had been
quite esoteric and appealed more to the intellectuals than to the
masses; Jodo-shu and Zen offered the People an alternative. My
training was a mixture of the Heian beliefs and Zen Buddhism.
