Tokyo Shrine Taishido Hachiman Shrine with Pictures of Japanese People 100 Years Ago

Taishido Hachiman Shrine Description from the official website
https://www.taishido-hachiman.or.jp/
It is said that around a thousand years ago, at the end of the Heian Period, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, Yoshie and their son, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, prayed for victory and rested over a cup of sake at this shrine facing the Kamakura Road on their way to conquer the rebellion of the Abe clan, a powerful clan in Mutsu (Miyagi and Iwate), in the Former Nine Years' War.

Although there are no exact written records, it is believed that the shrine began its history as a guardian deity of the area before 1051.

It is thought that the ancestor who pioneered this area was initially worshipped as the guardian deity of the area, but later the Hachiman deity became the clan deity of the Minamoto clan, and as the Minamoto clan expanded its territory in the Kanto region, the Hachiman deity gradually came to be worshipped as the guardian deity of the area, and this shrine is thought to have been dedicated to the Hachiman deity as well.

The shogunate government of Minamoto no Yoritomo began in Kamakura, and furthermore, there are many Hachiman shrines in Setagaya due to the influence of the belief in Hachiman God by the Kira clan, which took over Setagaya and other neighboring lands in the Muromachi period, and by the Tokugawa clan, which established the Edo shogunate, as well as by the Minamoto clan. (12 out of 50 shrines).

According to Ensenji temple records, this shrine was also built as a Hachiman shrine during the Bunroku era (1592-1596). This was around the time after Toyotomi Hideyoshi destroyed the Hojo clan in Odawara and united the country, when a group of vassals of the Hojo clan moved to this area and pioneered the development of the area. The shrine was probably founded at that time, as the shrine pavilions were prepared to look like a shrine.

When we visit shrines in Tokyo, we are often surprised to find sanctuaries that have been protected by the people.
Flood, fire, earthquake, war, and worship.
Small shrines, shrines perched on the rooftops of buildings, and shrines directly under expressways.
Sanctuaries that are close to people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video to share these beautiful images with you!
The Japanese landscape and the Japanese people of the past remain in old photographs.
Some of the photos are around 100 years old, some are about 150 years old, and some are 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with the people of the past!
