Igi Shrine
居木神社The date of its founding is not clear, but according to old records, the site of the former shrine was located in Igibashi Village, Ebara District, Musashi Province (near the current Igibashi on Yamate Street).
At that time, it was called "Hijinomiya Shrine", and it is said that there was a large tree called "Yurugi no Matsu" in the precincts.
In the early Edo period, it was moved to the current shrine site to avoid the difficulties of flooding of the Meguro River.
At that time, the four shrines of "Kifune Myojin", "Kasuga Myojin", "Kogongen", and "Inari Myojin" were enshrined together in the village, and they were called "Gosha Myojin".
In the Genroku Township Book, it is written that the stone height of Igibashi is more than 230 stones, 72 houses, and it is operated by a headman (nenban), and the reverence of the local area is deep, and the festival is especially popular, especially the Sato Kagura, and the head of the shrine is very crowded with many pilgrims from other villages at the autumn festival.
In the 5th year of the Meiji era, the name of the shrine was changed to "Iki Shrine", and in the 6th year of the same year, it was canonized as a "village shrine" under the old system, and in the 29th year and 42nd year of the same year, the three shrines and six seats of "Inari Shrine", "Kawakami Shrine", and "Hongo Shrine" were enshrined in the village.
In Showa 5, the shrine was renovated due to the reverence and enthusiasm of the clan members, and it was completed in September of the same year, but the majestic shrine was also burned by war at the end of the Greater East Asia War.
Since then, the reconstruction plan by the revered clan and child Akasei has progressed, and construction began on May 5, Showa 52, the upper building was held on March 3, 53, and the ceremony of the Seiseiza Festival was solemnly held on June 10, 53.
There are still several stone statues from the Edo period in the temple grounds, and the torii gate on the north approach and the bowl of Suesha Mitarai were both dedicated in the 4th year of Kansei (1792), and the stone lantern was dedicated in the 2nd year of Hiroka (1845).
Itsukushima Shrine is designated as a Tangible Cultural Property designated by Shinagawa Ward. In addition, next to the stone steps in front of the worship hall, there is a Fuji mound made of lava accumulation, which has been selected as one of the 100 views of Shinagawa.
