Kansensho (Anba Shrine)

館山市大神宮

4.4(8)

A shrine listed in the Engishiki codex located in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture. It is an ancient shrine that has long been regarded as important as the central shrine of the former Awa Province.

History

According to tradition, the shrine was founded by the Imibe clan, who migrated from the Awa region during the mythological era. It is said that the names of Awa Province and the shrine itself derive from this clan's migration and settlement. Even under the Ritsuryo system, the Awa Kokushi (provincial governor) was responsible for its rituals. The shrine was also enshrined as the deity of food offerings (Mikazuchi no Kami) in the Imperial Court's Daishokushi (Bureau of Imperial Cuisine), reflecting its long-standing importance. It has continued to receive reverence throughout history, maintaining its status as a Kanpei Taisha (Grand Shrine of the Imperial Household) even after the Meiji Restoration.
