Shitori Shrine - Tōhaku District

It is a neat and quaint shrine located just up the mountain. It is said that the letters of the sentence used to represent textiles. Shitori is a Shizu weave, and it was a long time ago that it was written as Wabumi and read as Shitori, because the Chinese at that time wore it by Japanese (Wajin), so they read it that way.

Shitori Shrine, Shitori Shrine It is a shrine of the Yabun tribe who ran ancient textiles. It is a shrine with high profits for easy delivery The carving of the Shinto gate and the guardian dog are also wonderful.

It is a quiet company that sits in a mountain about 1km from the shore of Lake Tojo. It is a small shrine of Shitori Shrine, Hoki Kuni Ichinomiya, and the old shrine is a national shrine, and now it is listed in the attached shrine of the Association of Shinto Shrines. The main deities are Amenohazuchi and Shitateruhime. It enshrines Kotoshironushi, Takeminakata, Sukunahikona, Ame-no-wahiko, and Ajisukitakahikone. The founding is not clear, but according to the company's biography, Shitateruhime, the daughter of Okuninushi, decided to live in the current company's place from Izumo with a valet who arrived by sea, and gave guidance on safe delivery until the end of her life there. It is said that he was instrumental in the development of agriculture and the spread of medical care. At the time of its foundation, the main industry of the region was the kimono of Shizuori, so it was made into a deity by adding Shitateruhime, who is closely related to the area, to Amenohazuchi, the god of the Buddhist priest. The five pillar gods are the Mikogami of Okuninushi or the gods with whom they are closely related. The belief in safe delivery to this shrine has been around for a long time, and many spiritual tests have been handed down, but since the textiles of Houtou have disappeared, it seems that only the belief in safe delivery remains. I don't know when the textiles of Yabun disappeared, but until the Taisho era, Shitateruhime was considered to be the main deity. It is reported in the biography that Ame-no-Hikomei had a mission to inherit the country from Takamagahara, but had the wickedness of marrying Shitateruhime, the daughter of Okuninushi, and hopefully getting Ashihara no Nakatsu. .. In other words, because it was against Tianjin God (Amaterasu Omikami), there are few shrines that are enshrined, and it is often abandoned without giving "life". From the above circumstances, it may be more correct to think that the main deity is Shitateruhime. Ame-no-Hikomei is rude, but there is no such thing as a sacred virtues. Quiet talk break. The Shinkai ranks 5th in accordance with Jōwa 4th year (837), 5th in accordance with Saikō 3rd year (856), and progresses from 3rd to 3rd in Tengyō 3rd year (940). I'm out. In addition, an old amount called the royal amount still exists, and it is engraved with the first rank, Hakushu Ichinomiya Daimyojin. Many Jingu-ji temples were built during the peak period, but during the Warring States period, each temple was scattered, leaving only the shrines. It is said that the ancient shrine was vast and had a red stamped land of Sengoku, but it was devastated during the Warring States period. In 1554, Amago Haruhisa built the shrine and donated 79 stones to the Shinto territory. Later, Jinryō was abolished, but in the first year of Kame (1570), Ueshi Castle Remains and Munekatsu Nanjo restored it. During the Tokugawa period, it became a prayer place for the Ikeda feudal lord. On the day I worshiped, it was raining lightly and it was a very quiet Sanin-like weather. The approach is a gentle climb. The old shrine has a magnificent sculpture that tells the story of the company's venerable history. I arrived at the shrine without going up. A few women were swept away on the approach to the shrine, probably the parishioners, and everyone said "Good morning". There are no worshipers other than us. The shrine building in the mountains seems to have stopped. I can only hear the sound of rain. The hall of worship does not include worship at Irimoyadaira. The main shrine was like Nagare-zukuri. You can get the red stamp for ¥ 300-. The parking lot is listed as 20 cars on the HP, but in reality there were only 3 cars under the Shinto gate. (2021.04.28)

Shitorihime Ichinomiya, the daughter of Okuninushi, whose main deity is Shitateruhime. I feel the history.

I had been pregnant since I was 40, so I visited before because of God's request. Before I came here, it didn't work at all, but a few months after I visited here and bought a talisman, my wife got pregnant ?! Thanks to you, we have successfully welcomed 7 months. So, I came to thank you today. God's request is not bad either. It was really good. Was it effective to climb the Ichinomiya Keizuka on the premises when I bought the amulet? It's a remote place, but the benefit is Pikaichi.

[Hisadasha] ? Yes Although I was a little worried while being guided by the navigation system, the atmosphere at the shrine I arrived at was solemn. As with Tabai Shrine, it seems that the neighbors are coming to worship, and it is well maintained. The Zuijinmon was large and magnificent, and the same was true for the front shrine and main shrine. The trunks of the trees lined up are thick, and new sacred trees are swelling from the dead roots, making me think of the passage of time as I repeat the same thing for a long time.

Hoki no Kuni Ichinomiya. But well ... Ichinomiya is usually located in a remote area away from the city, but is there any reason? Personally, I feel like God is teaching people that worship and childbirth are extremely difficult. Speaking of which, Shitori Shrine is a god of easy delivery! The approach leads to the birth canal-maybe the idea of ​​an unexpected small job is correct ? By the way, this shrine is read as "Shitori Shrine" I was ashamed to read it at all ?
