尾張熱田神宮
Atsuta Shrine
Past a broad, bright stretch of ground, a long structure stands quietly among the tall trees of Atsuta Shrine in Owari Province.
About this photo
Only directly above it does the sky show through a gap in the trees. Far off to the right, a low line of what might be a fence or wall runs from side to side.
Atsuta Shrine is dedicated to the sacred sword Kusanagi, one of the Three Sacred Treasures. Until 1893 its main sanctuary was built in the Owari-zukuri style, but it was then rebuilt in the shinmei-zukuri style, with almost the same layout and size as Ise Grand Shrine. The Doyoden, the hall where the sacred sword was once kept, stood just east of the former main sanctuary.
