Oji Shrine Stone Marker
ååºçåæ¬çºïŒäžç®ïŒâïŒïŒ
This shrine is a former Genjunreisha (a shrine designated by imperial decree) that gave its name to the Oji area. It is known as the guardian shrine of northern Tokyo.
History
Legend holds that in the medieval period, the feudal lord Toyoshima clan invited Oji Daijin (the Great Deity of Oji) from the Kumano Sanja (Three Kumano Shrines) in Kishu to this land and enshrined him as Wakatsu Oji-gu. Emperor Meiji designated it as a Genjunreisha. The shrine has deep ties to the Tokugawa shogunate; for instance, Kasuga Onba, the wet nurse of Tokugawa Iemitsu, prayed here for his health and success. The Oji Dengaku (a traditional masked dance-drama) has been transmitted since the Kamakura period and is designated as an Intangible Cultural Property of Kita Ward.
