A shrine

Kanda Myojin Shrine prospered under the protection of the Tokugawa Shogunate as a guardian deity of Edo. Taira Masakado is enshrined here as the Oanamuchi-no-mikoto deity. The shrine moved to its current location (present-day Sotokanda 2-chome) from Surugadai in 1616. It was renamed Kanda Shinto Shrine in 1872. The Kanda Festival, one of the three major festivals in Tokyo, is held here every other year, formerly on September 15, now in May. This is a photograph of a sketch (probably stone print) made by a member of a Prussian expedition.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐27‐2]
