 Glossary of Shinto | |
Takebe taisha (建部大社) is a Shinto shrine located at Ōtsu in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The shrine is also known in Japanese (esp. formerly) as Takebe-jinja (建部神社).[1]
History[]
The shrine was established in the 43rd year of the reign of the legendary Emperor Keiko, shortly after the death of his son Yamato Takeru.[2]
The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period and it was accorded some attention during the Kamakura period; however, the Shrine was amongst the many which failed to prosper during the difficult years of the Sengoku period.[3]
- 755 (Tenpyō-shōhō 7, 3rd month): The shrine was moved to its current location on orders of Empress Kōken.[4]
- 1190 (Kenkyū1, 11th month): Minamoto no Yoritomo visited the shrine on his way to Kyoto.[5]
- 1233 (Jōei 2): Kujō Yoritsune completedly rebuilt the structures of the shrine.[5]
- 1868 (Meiji 1, 9th month): When Emperor Meiji made his first visit to Edo, he dispatched an emissary to the shrine with aheikaku for the kami.[5]
Takebe was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) for the former Ōmi province. [6]
From 1871 through 1946, the Takebe was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社),[7] meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines which were especially venerated by the imperial family.
Festivals[]
Annual festivals at Takebe include modern events like the Reisai in mid-April[8] and older rites such as
- Gokokusai or Gokoku no matsuri in early February.[9]
- Funayiki no matsuri in mid August[10]
- Chinkwa-sai in late November.[11]
