According to Teshima, among all the Shinto shrines in Japan, the most
numerous are Yahata (or Hachiman) shrines, which used to be called Yahada
shrines in old days.
The God of Yahada was the one which Hata clan believed in. Teshima thought as
did Saeki that Hata clan were Jewish Nestorians, and Yahada was originally a
Hebrew word "yehudah" (hdwhy) meaning Judea. That is, the God of Yahada is to be
the G-d of Judea. The Japanese ancient book of history, Kojiki, clearly says
that the God of Yahada is a foreign God.

Concerning the Rumor That G-d's Name Is Written in Hebrew on the Holy Mirror of
"Ise-jingu"
In the Imperial House of Japan, there are three valuable treasures which were
derived from ancient Japanese myths. These three are a sword, a jewel pendant
and a mirror.
The mirror, called "Yata-no-kagami" (mirror of Yata) is placed in "Ise-jingu"
shrine. It has been rumored that G-d's name is written in Hebrew on the back of
this holy mirror. This mirror is regarded to be extremely holy, and usually no
one is permitted to see it. However, there are some individuals who insist that
they have seen it.
About a hundred years ago, Arinori Mori (1847-1889), the Minister of Education,
Culture, and Science of Japan at that time, insisted that he saw the back of the
holy mirror. He said that on it written in Hebrew was G-d's name, "I AM THAT I
AM," which is the name used when G-d spoke to Moses (Shmos 3:14).
After World War II, Dr. Sakon, a professor from Aoyama-gakuin University, stated
that he had seen a replica of the mirror which was placed in the Imperial
Palace. He said that on it written in Hebrew was G-d's name, "I AM THAT I AM".
Later, it has been stated that Yutaro Yano, a passionate Shinto believer, saw
the holy mirror, and transcribed the patterns on its back. Yano repeatedly asked
a priest at Ise-jingu if he could observe the mirror. Moved by Yano's passion,
the priest secretly permitted him to observe the mirror. Yano carefully copied
the pattern off the mirror's back.
This copy has been maintained for years in a Shinto group named "Shinsei-Ryujinkai,"
which is run by Yano's daughter. The copy had been held in secret by the group.
Later, they stated that it was "G-d's revelation" to show the copy to His
Highness Mikasanomiya, a younger brother of the Emperor Hirohito (Showa Tennoh).
Mr. Wadoh Kohsaka, who is a Shinto researcher, had a role in handing it to
Mikasanomiya. After that, Kohsaka decided to show the copy to the public in his
book, for he believed that it was important for the Japanese to know the truth.
The book was published several years ago.
The pattern which is believed to have been taken from the back of the Japanese
Holy mirror by Yutaro Yano
There are two theories on how to interpret the letters on the mirror. One is to
interpret the letters as "Hifu-moji" which is believed to be one of "Jindai-mojis",
the supposed Japanese letters existed in ancient Japan that existed before
Kanji-writing had been imported from China to Japan. Another theory is to
interpret them as ancient Hebrew.
The theory of "Hifu-moji" is from Yano himself, but there are contradictions in
his interpretation. In addition, no one knows what Hifu-moji really looks like.
Hence, I cannot accept them as Hifu-moji. All the known Japanese ancient "Jindai-mojis"
are written vertically. I have never seen it written horizontally.
Some people suggest that the 7 letters inside the central circle of the mirror
could be read as "I AM THAT I AM," which in Hebrew "eheyeh asher eheyeh,"
reading "eheyeh" two times. Others suggest that they could be read as "Yahweh's
light," which in Hebrew "or Yahweh" ("Or" means light).
However, some letters resemble Hebrew though, some do not. We also have to
consider that Aramaic letters which the ancient Israelites used were a bit
different from Hebrew. Samaritan letters are also different. If anyone reading
this can interpret this, please let me know. We also do not have definite
evidence that Yano's copy of the back of the Holy mirror is true to the
original. This still remains as a mystery. I wish that someday the mirror or
even its photo may be made available to the public.
Israelites Came To Ancient Japan
The Bible code refers the fate of Japan in conjunction of Erez Israel (land of Israel). Moreover, the Bible code clearly recorded the name of ancient prehistoric Japanese nation "Yamatai" with strong relation with Jacobs sons in Genesis 42 and 43.
Are Japanese relating with Jews?
