Cannabis has a deep connection with Japanese history

Hemp (academic name:Cannabis) has grown naturally in Japan, and it has been confirmed from the artifacts found at the Remains of the ancient in Fukui that it was used in daily life in the early Jomon period (an era that lasted about 10,000 years, from about 13,000 years ago to about 2300 years ago). In Shinto, cannabis is regarded as a sacred plant, and it was used for “purification”, a sacred tool, and an amulet at Ise Shrine.
