Tofu Shrine, Shinto shrine in Japan

Tofu Shrine stands at the southeastern edge of the Sugisaka district along Kyoto Prefectural Route 31, in the Sugisaka-Tofu-cho area of Kita-ku. It honours Ono no Tofu, the Heian-period calligrapher counted among the Three Brushes. Within the grounds are the Shokusui Pond, said to have supplied water for his inkstone, a grove of cedars over 250 years old and 25 metres tall, and the Myoo-do hall enshrining Fudo Myoo.

The shrine traces its origin to 920, when the calligrapher Ono no Tōfū, then 26, built a hermitage on this site and practiced writing. The area was part of Ono-go in Kadono District, Yamashiro Province, and the shrine later became the tutelary deity of the Sugisaka community. Tōfū is said to have been enshrined after his death in 967.

The shrine honours Ono no Tōfū, a Heian-period calligrapher, and is also called Tōfū Take no Daimyōjin. Its name lives on in the district, Sugisaka Tōfū-chō. On 3 November at 19:30 the Ohitaki rite is held: parishioners in their yakudoshi years set fire to a crisscross stack of firewood, and the direction in which it falls is read as a sign of the coming year's fortune.

The shrine stands at the southeastern edge of the Sugisaka district, along Kyoto Prefectural Route 31 (Nishijin-Sugisaka line), in Sugisaka Tofu-cho. The grounds hold the Shakusui Pond, a stand of cedars over 250 years old and about 25 m tall, and the Myoo-do hall for Fudo Myoo. The Otaki fire rite is held on 3 November at 19:30.

The shrine keeps relics attributed to Ono no Michikaze: a Tang mirror, inkstone, Tang brush, inkstone screen and paperweight. A stele in the grounds commemorates the sacred Wakō water from the former Wakō-sha, which Michikaze used to grind ink; the water was also sent to the imperial court for ritual use.
