| Video Discription | A rare glimpse of one of Japan's oldest and most secretive societies that roam the wild northern Japanese Alps. In August I spent nine days with the Yamabushi – a 1400-year-old cult of pre-Buddhist mountain ascetics - in the sacred Dewa Sanzen mountains. While in training the Yamabushi are not allowed to wash or brush their teeth. They eat one bowl of rice, a cup of watery soup, and a piece of pickle three times a day. They hike throughout the mountains, dressed in white and wearing brass bells that ring with every step. The Yamabushi worship stones, trees, summits, lakes, and ancient sites. They are elusive folk, though if you hike deep into the sacred mountains and listen carefully, you may hear the haunting three-tone sound of their conchs carried on the wind. At night they chant for hours, then seal themselves inside a temple and pour pepper powder and rice husks onto a fire. For fifteen minutes they inhale the fumes, sometimes passing out. This is said to simulate death and eventual rebirth as a sacred being.
