Giving nicknames to gods and sacred trees…just like giving names to big trees, rocks and landmark nature.
Isn’t this uniquely Japanese? I think so, but what do you think?
The guardian foxes at Sanikoshinja are called “Konkonsan” and so on.

By giving this sacred tree a nickname, it may have become easier to recognize it as a landmark along the road and become more familiar with it.

By giving nicknames to gods and nature, we become as close to them as if they were our friends.
I believe that in Japan, gods and humans are very close to each other.
