Kifune or Kibune Shrine (sacred ship) originated in 7c is a shrine of water celebrating Takaokami deity. Kifune Mountain is the water source for the Kyoto's major river Kamogawa. The origin of Kifune is said to be a yellow ship (ki-fune) a deity Tamayoribime appeared in, but the Shinto belief interprets kifune as 'a mountain' or 'a tree root' where ki rises from. Ki is the flow of energy and spirituality. This Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) is Kifune's sacred tree (go-shinki) estimated to be over 400 years old. The rope with white hanging paper (shimenawa) marks the sacred site. Water, as the origin of life, Kifune is worshiped for all human life enddavour, including love and good relationships. There are a trail and a river of love based on a Heian period poet Izumi Shikibu's love poem.
