Tsutsumi-jinja

Tsutsumi-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Tsutsumi-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Kita-ku, Okayama, dedicated to Takada-hime-no-mikoto, wife of Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto. The grounds also enshrine Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto, Kibitsutakehiko-no-mikoto, Rakurakamorihiko-no-mikoto and Kenreihiko-no-mikoto. A granite tahōtō, 4.15 m tall and dated to the late Kamakura period, stands in the precinct and is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property.

The shrine venerates Takada-hime, wife of Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto, along with her father Rakurakamorihiko and other figures from the Kibi pacification legends of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. It appears as "Tsutsumi Shrine" in the Engishiki register of shrines in Kaya District, Bitchū Province, and was once called "Tsutsumi Go-sha Daimyōjin" for its five halls. In 1644 the Ashimori daimyō Kinoshita Toshimasa granted it two koku of land; it became a village shrine in 1872 and a prefectural shrine in 1881.

The shrine's name is written with the character for drum, and its former name, Kotsu-jinja, appears in the Engishiki name register of the Heian period under Kaya District, Bitchū Province. It was then called the Five Shrines of the Drum. Its crest is a dancing crane. The autumn festival is held on the second Sunday of October.

The shrine stands at 3628 Kamitakada, Kita-ku, Okayama, about 3 km northwest of Okayama Airport; the approach is by road, as no station serves the site directly. The grounds hold the main sanctuary plus subsidiary shrines such as Itsukushima-gu and Inari-sha. The autumn festival falls on the second Sunday of October.

The shrine's crest is the "dancing crane", and its name is written with the character for drum, 鼓, in the 10th-century Engishiki register, where it appears as Kaya district's Drum Shrine. Five halls once stood here, earning it the name "Drum Five Shrines".
