奈良県天理市の石上神宮は、大和朝廷に重んぜられた、極めて古い歴史を誇る神社である。主祭神は、天孫降臨前の国津神の平定や神武東征で使われた、神剣・布都御魂剣（ふつのみたまのつるぎ）に宿る神霊とされ、その祭祀は、神事と軍事を司る物部氏が行っていた。明治に禁足地を調査したところ、古代の七支刀が発見された事でも知られる。祭神の一柱には、スサノオノミコトが八岐大蛇を斬った剣も含まれているのだが、一方で、日本書紀には八岐大蛇を斬った剣は吉備にあると書かれ、古語拾遺には後に石上神宮へ遷されたとある。その吉備の、剣があったという場所に建つのが、岡山県赤磐市の石上布都魂神社である。この神社の社伝によれば、八岐大蛇を斬ったその剣こそが、布都御魂剣という。岡山県の山間部に鎮座するこの神社は、山の麓に建つが、かつては山頂に社殿が営まれ、今もそこには大きな磐座がある。そこは石上神宮と同じく、禁足地となっている。神社の宮司は、今も物部姓だ。この近くには、弓削という地名もある。弓削の名が付く地名は全国にいくらかあり、それは道鏡を輩出したことで有名な古代の氏族・弓削氏の住んだ場所であるが、弓削氏とはその名の通り武器製作を生業とした民で、物部氏の一派であった。神話に遡る石上の信仰と、磐座の祭祀。古の人々が重視した「石」の意味に迫る。

In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons.

This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world’s great religions were born and took root.
