Regarding the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America

By now I think just about everyone in the American Shinto community is aware that the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America is closing. From a post by Olivia Bernkastel on The Facebook group Shinto, Religion of the Forest, I got a little more of the story. The bottom line regarding Reverand Berrish is that his health is deteriorating. He will not be fully retiring but he is moving to Florida where he hopes to set up an independent shrine. If I were to dare to speculate, it seems to me the warm waters of Florida are far more preferable for Misogi than the Glacial waters of the Pacific Northwest. And if that's part of his reasoning I don't blame him one bit.

Now, it's important to note that if he wants to set up an independent shrine he can do that. From what I am to understand he is enshrining the entirety of the Earth rather than setting up a shrine for any of the more recognized Kami. One would think he'd stick with the Kami he has served. But that's his choice. He can do what he wants. In truth, historical examples of how shrines were started indicate that pretty much anyone can establish a shrine if they have the means to do so. Legitimacy comes with longevity.

In regards to the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America, it's reported that there was a proposal put to the Board members of the shrine to look for a new priest. I do not know why they made the decision they did, but as we are all aware by now it was decided to close the facility and word is that they plan to sell the property. This does not mean that there will be no Tsubaki shrine in North America. In the future, the Shin Mei Spiritual Centre near Victoria, B.C., a branch of Tsubaki Grand Shrine Japan will be providing Shinto services, Ofuda, and Omamori. If I were to dare to speculate it might be that the Shintai at the Tsubaki Grand Shrine may be moved to this location along with other sacred items. (Seems to me the logical thing to do, but what do I know.) The downside is we've no way to know because there has been little information forthcoming.

The Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America Board of Directors has posted an open letter on their website, and while it is confirmation it leaves many questions unanswered.

Important Announcement

FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that we will be closing Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America on June 30, 2023.

First, may we express our deepest gratitude to Rev. and Mrs. Barrish for their many years of dedication and for sharing the profound practice of Shinto with thousands of members and visitors for over 20 years. At this time, however, they will be retiring due to health reasons.

Next, we are so very grateful to the hundreds of volunteers who have helped support Tsubaki America shrine activities over the years. Please continue to keep the kamisama in your hearts and in your daily activities.

June 25, 2023 we will conduct Nagoshi no Oharahi (Mid Year Great Purification). This will be our final public ceremony at Tsubaki America, and we welcome all Members to attend this celebration.

Additionally, Shin Mei Spiritual Centre near Victoria, B.C., a branch of Tsubaki Grand Shrine Japan, is active and continues to welcome visitors (www.shinmei.ca) for gokitoh kigansai. Omamori and kamidana items from Tsubaki Grand Shrine Japan will continue to be available through Shin Mei.

After a year hiatus from making shide, I picked up my materials and started up again tonight. On September 10th, Hawai’i’s Plantation Village will be celebrating its 30th anniversary. The museum was started thanks to the dynamic conservation efforts of the Wakamiya Inari Shrine Preservation Committee to protect Oahu’s last Inari Shrine when it was set to be demolished in 1979 after the shrine’s family owners sold the land. In 1992, the museum started up around the area where the shrine had been moved to and has existed ever since. In honor of the 30th Anniversary celebration, I will be creating new shimenawa for the shrine and recently repaired torii gate. Although I was not expecting to do well, I managed to create 11 shide in less than two hours. Shout out to Kamisama and the amazing stencil their blessings helped me make. I couldn’t have done it without them. Special shout out to Rev. Olivia Bernkastel for the amazing resources and her enduring support. Finally, shoutout to my bestie @jindam for being willing to help me set things up at the shrine. I will finish this project and have everything up by September 10th!

Sometimes, just like that, your local shrine has a craft market combined with a thanksgiving matsuri for the first harvest of the year.

Legend has it that during a time of famine mushrooms sprouted, enough to save the local populace.
