About this photo
This photo shows Miyazaki Shrine in Miyazaki City. It appears in Shinto Miyazaki Shashin Gaho (Pictorial of Miyazaki, City of the Gods), published in 1937 (Showa 12). The photo's title does not tell us which part of the grounds it shows.
Miyazaki Shrine enshrines Emperor Jimmu. According to shrine tradition, it began when Takeiwatatsu no Mikoto, Jimmu's grandson, enshrined him here. Between about 1897 and 1906, donations were gathered from across Japan for a major building project, and the shrine buildings were completed in 1907 (Meiji 40). They were designed by the architect Ito Chuta and built with Sano cedar, a timber famous in the old province of Hyuga. The shrine took its present name in 1913 (Taisho 2).
The main sanctuary, the heiden (offering hall) and other buildings completed in 1907 became Registered Tangible Cultural Properties in 2010 (Heisei 22).
