A Shikinaisha (shrine listed in the Engishiki) located in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, commonly known as "Seki Tenjin" or "Kano Tenjin." It enshrines Kano Sekibe-no-Kami as its main deity and has historically been the object of deep reverence.

History

Legend holds that the shrine was founded in 585 CE (Yomei 1) when Kano Sekibe-no-Kami, who had been enshrined at the imperial court, was invited here to quell an epidemic. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed strong devotion from both the imperial court and military families. In 940 CE (Tenpyo 3), it was granted the divine rank of Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade. In 1896 (Meiji 29), it was elevated to the status of a Kokhei-sho (Minor National Shrine).
