		The founding of the shrine was during the reign of Emperor Seiwa (the 56th Emperor) between the years 859-887AD when Fujiwara Chunagon invited the deity Kasuga-no-Okami to Yoshidayama to become the guardian of Heiankyo (the former name of Kyoto, which was at that time the capital of Japan).
		In 1107 the status of the shrine was re-confirmed by the 73rd Emperor Horikawa.
		During the Kamakura Period (12th-14th Century) which saw the rise to power of warrior government in Japan, the Yoshida Shrine maintained its important status as the Fujiwara family remained powerful and was influential both with the Imperial Court and the Kamakura Bakufu government of the early shoguns.

	Emperor of Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The role of the Emperor of Japan (天皇, tennō) alternated between that of a high-rank cleric with largely symbolic powers and that of an actual imperial ruler, from the dawn of history until the mid-twentieth century.
		Although the Emperor performs many of the roles of a head of state, there has been a persistent controversy within Japan as to whether the Emperor is in fact head of state or merely someone who acts as head of state.
		By the constitution of 1889, the emperor of Japan transferred a large part of his former powers as absolute monarch to the representatives of the people, but remained as head of the empire.
