Kashihara-jingū

haiden des Kashihara-jingu

The Kashihara-jingū (jap. 橿 原 神宮) is a Shinto shrine southeast at the foot of Mount Unebiyama in the city of Kashihara (Nara Prefecture, Japan). It was built in 1889/1890 by the Meiji-tennō. When Kami is here Jimmu-tennō with his wife, I-suzu-hime, revered. It belongs to the Chokusaisha. The shrine is located at the alleged site of the (Unebi) Kashiwara no Miya ((畝 傍) 橿 原 宮), the government palace of the Jimmu-tennō.

The Kashihara-jingū is the first government-built shrine to worship Jimmu-tennō. The reason for this was the identification of the alleged remains of Jimmu in his tomb in 1863. Pilgrimages to this mound (misasagi) took place long before the 19th century but were not recognized by the state or religious authorities.

The Schreingelände occupies 500,000 m². There are two heathens on which the chigi (千 木, "crossbows") and katsuogi (堅 魚 木, "crossbars") lie (usually these are on the honden of a shrine).

Several buildings of the shrine are once-built buildings from the ancient imperial palace of Kyoto: the honden (in the palace the kashiko-dokoro) and the kagura (the palace the shinka-den)

The Kigen-setsu is celebrated on February 11, as this was the anniversary of the ascent of Jimmu-tennō. It belongs to the feast days as a feast day.

On April 3, an imperial messenger (chokushi) lives in Jimmu-tennō-sai on his death day. Weblinks Edit sourcetext Commons: Kashihara-jingū - collection of pictures, videos and audio files
