Today’s video explores Queen Himiko, the legendary shamaness who brought peace during Japan’s ancient Yayoi period through her spiritual power.
During this era, female shamans across Japan often assumed leadership roles, influencing politics and society profoundly through divine oracles. Among these countless legends, Himiko stands out as the most mysterious figure of all. Drawing from my own archaeological research, this video uniquely visualizes the physical appearance, attire, dwellings, and shrines of the Yayoi people for the first time.
I hope this journey into Japan’s lost shamanic era ignites your imagination.
