Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The path from the Miyajima island ferry terminal to the Itsukushima shrine. It's a good 15 min walk to the Itsukushima shrine from the ferry pier. The temple is said to have been erected in 593 supposedly by Saeki Kuramoto during the Suiko period. However, the present shrine has been popularly attributed to Taira no Kiyomori, a prominent warlord (daimyo) who contributed heavily to the building of the shrine during his time as governor of Aki Province in 1168. Another renowned patron of the shrine was the warlord Mori Motonari, lord of Choshu, who was responsible for rebuilding the honden (also called shinden- name given to the main hall in Shinjo architecture) in 1571. It is important to note however, that as a result of waging war against Sue Takafusa there in 1555, Motonari is said to have tainted the island's grounds by battling on the island. This relates to the strict notions of sacred purity that Shinto shrines stand for. Unfortunately, the only surviving structure in Itsukushima shrine from the Kamakura period is the Kyakuden or Guest-God's Shrine. More notes about the Itsukushima shrine appear as we go along in this album. (see subsequent pictures). (Hiroshima,Japan, Apr/ May 2019) |
