Washi Shrine's Great Zelkova Tree
佐倉市先崎
Located in Saki, Sakura City, this shrine features a precious, massive zelkova tree in its precincts, which is believed to have been planted at the time of the shrine's founding.
History
According to the Shinsen Sakura Fudoku (a local gazetteer), the shrine was established in 937 CE (Jōhei 7) by the Great Master Jikaku, who received an imperial decree from Emperor Suzaku. On the other hand, the Inba District Gazetteer states that the origin lies in an order given to an inspection envoy to enshrine a strangely shaped eagle that flew in while the envoy was resting. After Tokugawa Ieyasu entered the Kanto region, the shrine received confirmation of its land holdings. During the Edo period, the temple Shōkaku-in served as the head temple (bettō).
