	Ikuta Jinja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ikuta Shrine (ç”ç”°ç¥ç¤¾ ikutajinja) is a Shinto shrine in the Chuo Ward of Kobe, Japan, and is possibly among the oldest shrines in the country.
		It was one of three shrines established at this time, the others being Hirota Jinja, dedicated to Amaterasu, and Nagata Jinja, dedicated to Kotoshiro-nushi (also known as Ebisu).
		During the Genpei War, parts of the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani took place in and around this shrine, and are commemorated by markers in the Ikuta forest behind the shrine.

		The shrine was established probably in A.D. 656; and the matsuri is said to have originated in A.D. 869, when Urebe-no-hinomaru, in his effort to obey an Imperial order that he should check the plague which was then raging in the city, presented to the shrine sixty-six halberds, one for each province of the Empire.
		According to tradition, a famous sword-smith of the eleventh century presented the shrine a naginata of finest workmanship in gratitude for the recovery of his daughter in answer to his prayer.
		The priest of the shrine has only very indirect charge of the celebration; and the crowd of people attending the procession is a rejoicing, well-mannered mob.

		A shrine is immediately recognisable from the torii, a gate of two upright poles topped by two cross-pieces, often painted a bright vermilion, which marks the entrance to the sacred enclosure.
		Indeed, many shrines are built in the middle of nowhere, on sacred mountains, in caves or perched on pin-prick islands.
		Behind the shrine a large stone is said to weigh down the head of the giant, subterranean catfish whose writhings are held to be the cause of Japan’s earthquakes.

		The earliest forms of music were drums and flute music accompanying the kagura shrine dances.
		From the 6th century on, music came from Korean and Chinese courts and monasteries and was performed at the Japanese court under the generic name gagaku (court music).
		Formerly part of the gagaku ensemble, the koto was developed as a solo instrument from the 17th century, having its repertoire considerably enhanced by the Ikuta school in the 17th century and the Yamada school in the 18th century.

	RMA Newsletter: News - New Year's Pilgrims (Japan, May 1, 1994)
		According to estimates released by the Metropolitan Police Department (reported by Jinja Shinpo, No. 2255, Jan 17), over 89.5 million Japanese made visits to "major shrines, temples, and entertainment centers" during the first three days of the 1994 New Year; of that number, more than 85.4 million were visitors to shrines and temples.
		At the same time, the figures also showed that only 28 shrines or temples recorded 500,000 or more visitors during the period, one less than the 29 recorded last year.
		Reasons suggested by the Police Department for the increase in shrine and temple visitors included the generally good weather nationwide, Japan's continuing economic downturn, and the dismal rice harvest last year.

		His decision to visit the shrine, overriding the advice of his Foreign Ministry and political allies, negated an opportunity to defuse the history issue: Japan's school districts are rejecting use of the disputed history text one by one.
		The broad grounds of the shrine, bracketed by three huge torii gates, have become the symbolic focus of Japan's conservative, nationalistic and right-wing politics.
		Other analysts said the shrine visit was simply the result of the prime minister's personal convictions that he should honor the country's war dead.
