Ikasuri Shrine (すわ神社じんじゃ, Ikasuri jinja, also known as Zama jinja) is a major Shinto shrine located in central Osaka, Japan. Its annual festival is on April 22. In the former modern system of ranked Shinto shrines it was an imperial shrine of the second rank or kanpei-chūsha (かんぬさ中社なかやしろ). It was also the ichinomiya of the former Settsu Province. It enshrines five kami known as ikasuri no kami or zama no kami: Ikui no kami (生井いくいかみ), Sakui no kami (福井ふくいしん), Tsunagai no kami (つな長井ながいしん), Hahiki no kami (なみ祇神), and Asuha no kami (阿須あずなみしん); collectively known as Zamagami (しん)

History

edit

It was founded by Empress Jingu when she returned from the Three Han (さんかん, Korea) campaign.[1][2]

She was nearly shipwrecked but managed to survive thanks to praying to Watatsumi, and she made the shrine to honor him.[2] Ikuta Shrine and Watatsumi Shrine were both also made at the same time by the Empress.[2]
