Looks impressive, doesn’t it? So many processes are in progress when cars are being made. It’s very automatized and really efficient. Technology in present day is so important for companies all over the globe.

Next,  “Atsuta-Jingu” 【熱田神宮】is a place which is dedicated to the “Kusanagi-no-mitsurugi”

To explain this. The “Kusanagi-no-mitsurugi” (Grass-Cutter Sword) is one of the three Imperial Insignia of Japan. It was formerly called the “Ama-no-Murakumo-no-tsurugi” (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven) and has been renamed to Kusanagi-no-tsurugi ever since. The sword represents virtues and valor of the Japanese.

In addition, you can see many “Katana”(Japanese sword) to which this shrine is also dedicated.
