Overview
Tsumikawa Shrine, located in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, is a historically significant shrine that has long been a focal point of faith as one of the four major shrines of Izumi Province (Izumi no Kuni Shikyu). Its history is said to date back to the reign of Emperor Sujin, and its inclusion in the Engishiki Jinmyocho (an ancient register of shrines) attests to its age. The present main hall was extensively repaired in 1603 (Keicho 8) under the direction of Toyotomi Hideyori, with Katagiri Katsumoto serving as the superintendent. It is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The beautiful architectural style of the three-bay, gabled main hall showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship of that era. The magnificent carvings are meticulously detailed and truly awe-inspiring. The shrine also houses numerous valuable cultural assets, including a hanging scroll said to be in the handwriting of Emperor Shirakawa and a portable shrine supposedly donated by Yodo-dono. These cultural treasures bear witness to the history and culture of Tsumikawa Shrine, deeply moving all who visit. Tsumikawa Shrine offers a special place to cleanse your mind and body in tranquility, while immersing yourself in history and culture.
