Fukui Shrine
福井市大手３丁目１６−１
Located in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, this shrine enshrines Matsudaira Yoshinaga. It is characterized by its unified modernist architectural style and a unique torii gate with an unusual shape lacking traditional crossbars.
History
The shrine was founded in 1943 (Showa 18) to enshrine Matsudaira Yoshinaga, the 16th daimyo of the Fukui Domain, who became a central figure among the pro-imperial faction of Tokugawa loyalist lords during the Meiji Restoration. Although it was destroyed by wartime bombing just two years later in 1945 (Showa 20), it was rebuilt in 1957 (Showa 32) based on designs by Naoo Igarashi of the Faculty of Engineering at Fukui University.
