Kurama Shrine
〒616-8343 京都府京都市右京区嵯峨朝日町２３
A shrine located in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, enshrining Kiyohara no Yorinari. It is also known as a filming location for movies and dramas.
History
The shrine originated from the tomb of Kiyohara no Yorinari, a scholar of Chinese classics and Confucianism in the late Heian period. Its origins lie in a shrine built within the grounds of Houshuin Temple to enshrine Yorinari. Worship spread during the Edo period, and the shrine became independent from Houshuin Temple due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era. Subsequently, the literati painter Tomioka Tenseki entered as the head priest (guji) and revitalized the shrine.
