Yushima Tenmangu
湯島天満宮Yushima Tenmangu (Yushima Tenjin) is said to have been founded by the Imperial Order of January in the second year of Emperor Yusaku (458), and began with the dedication of Tennote Rikishi. In February 1355, the people of the township admired the virtues of Prince Kan and worshipped him as the great ancestor of the literary way. In the tenth year of civilization (1478) Ota Province was rebuilt, and in the eighteenth year of Tensho (1590) Prince Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo Castle, and in November of the following year, in November of the following year, he donated five stones of red seal land in Yushima Town, Toshima District, and used it for the cost of the ritual, and prayed for the legacy of the Duke of Kan, so that the Taihei eternal era would continue and the education would be greatly prosperous.
After that, scholars and literati continued to visit the shrine without ceasing, and the names of Hayashi Michiharu, Matsunaga Shakugo, Hori An-an, Monk Saki-e, and Arai Shiraishi can be seen. When the shogun, Prince Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, moved the Yushima Cathedral to Shoheizaka, he revered the Yushima Tenmangu Shrine as the center of Bunkyo for a long time.
In October of the fifth year of Meiji (1872), he was promoted to a gosha, and then in the eighteenth year of the same year (1885) he was promoted to a prefectural shrine. Before the Meiji Restoration, there was a time when Ueno Higashieizan Kaneiji Temple was also in charge of the temple, and Kimi-in was in that position. When it was burned down by a fire in the sixteenth year of Genroku (1703), the shogun Tsunayoshi in the first year of Hoei (1704) donated 500 ryo of gold.
The shrine hall, which was renovated in Meiji 18, also deteriorated and was built in December of Heisei 7 as a cultural property of Heisei that will remain for future generations.
