Ōgi Shrine

Ōgi Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Ōgi Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture, with a subsidiary Hayuma Shrine on its grounds. Its name is written 王城神社, and it stands in the Tōnokoga district, in a small locality called Ōgiyashiki. Beside the shrine is the Ōgi-kan hall, in front of which old foundation stones remain in place.

According to the shrine's 1790 origin record, it began when Emperor Jimmu built a castle on Mount Shioji and enshrined Takemikazuchi and Kotoshironushi there. In 665, when the Tsukushi provincial headquarters was built, the deities were moved to Tsugōga and worshipped as Ōgi Daimyōjin. The hall burned in 1578, was rebuilt with a donation from Kobayakawa Takakage in 1587, burned again in 1601, and was ranked a village shrine in 1872.

Each November, on the first or second Sunday, the shrine holds the Manabashi Shinji, a ritual in which a sea bream offering is cut and prepared before the kami using manabashi chopsticks, without hands touching the fish. The shrine also keeps a record of its own founding, the Ōgi Jinja Engi, compiled in 1790 by Funega Hōin and held at Dazaifu Tenmangū.

Ōgi Shrine stands in the Tōnokoga 5-chōme district of Dazaifu, at the site known as Ōgiyashiki. Beside the shrine is the Ōgi-kan hall, and in front of it a foundation stone survives that is thought to mark the former Chikuzen provincial government office. The shrine is a village shrine (sonsha) in the modern ranking system.

The shrine's name, Ōgi, is written with the characters for "king" and "castle," and its small precinct sits in a district called Ōgiyashiki. Beside the shrine stands the Ōgi-kan hall, in front of which old foundation stones remain; they are thought to mark the site of the former Chikuzen provincial government office, which some scholars believe this shrine was built to guard.
