Nawa Jinja

Nawa Jinja, Shinto shrine in Daisen, Tottori Prefecture, Japan

Nawa Jinja is a Shinto shrine in Daisen, Tottori Prefecture, dedicated to Nawa Nagatoshi and 42 members of his clan. Its nagare-zukuri hall, completed in 1882, has a roof that slopes down over the front steps. The shrine stands on the site of the Nawa residence and is one of the Fifteen Shrines of the Kenmu Restoration.

The shrine was dedicated to Nawa Nagatoshi, a samurai from the Nanboku-chō period who supported the southern imperial branch and fought against the Kamakura shogunate. It is one of 15 shrines linked to this era of power struggles and preserves the memory of warriors who shaped local history.

The shrine's crest is the ho-gake-bune, the sailed boat of the Nawa family, and its annual festival is held on 15 August, the date in 1878 calculated from the day Nawa Nagatoshi died. The shrine stands on the site of the Nawa residence, and the main deity is honored together with 42 members of the Nawa clan and their retainers.

The shrine stands in the former Nawa town area of Daisen, Tottori Prefecture, on the site identified as the Nawa residence. Its festival day, August 15, was fixed in 1878 by converting the date of Nawa Nagatoshi's death to the solar calendar. The grounds are known for cherry blossoms.

The shrine's crest is the ho-kakebune, the sail-rigged boat of the Nawa clan, taken from the family's kamon rather than a festival flag. It marks the shrine as the clan's own, alongside the 42 Nawa kinsmen and retainers enshrined with Nagatoshi.
