Torai = Hebrew? Let's go see the "Tomb of Christ" in Shingo Village! [Aomori Prefecture]

"Did Christ really come to Aomori?" It's hard to believe at first glance, but this "tomb of Christ" is located in Christ Village Park in Shingo Village, Sannohe District, Aomori Prefecture , next to the Christ Village Folklore Museum

How the tomb of Christ was discovered

The legend of Christ's tomb originates from the contents of the "Takeuchi Documents," ancient documents passed down through generations of the Takeuchi family, which were made public in 1928 by Kiyomaro Takeuchi , who claimed to have been adopted into the "Takeuchi family," said to be descendants of Heguri Matori. It is said that when Kiyomaro deciphered the contents of these documents and visited Herai Village in Aomori Prefecture (present-day Herai, Shingo Village), he discovered something similar to the description of Christ's tomb written in the documents, and this became known as "Christ's tomb."

Then, in 1936, the following year, a supposed "Last Will and Testament of Christ" was discovered, though its authenticity remains uncertain. The year after that, in 1937, Shingo Village was featured in the book "Light from the East" by archaeologist and geologist Kiku Yamane , and it suddenly gained prominence as a "mysterious village."

The mysteries that connect Shingo Village with Christ

According to the contents of the "Takeuchi Documents," it was Christ's brother,"Ischari,"who took his place and was executed on Golgotha, and it is written that Christ spent the rest of his life in Japan, specifically in Aomori Prefecture.

There are also accounts that Christ had three daughters with a woman named "Yumiko." If this is true, it is possible that Christ's bloodline has been passed down to the present day

At the site,"Toraizuka,"believed to be the tomb of Christ, and the other"Judaibo,"believed to be the tomb of his younger brother, Isukiri. It is said that Isukiri's tomb, which is believed to be the tomb of Christ who took his place, contains Isukiri's hair and ear that Christ brought with him.
