Description
Ichinoseki Hachiman Shrine (一関八幡神社) is a Shinto shrine in Yamanome, Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, the castle-town guardian of the Tamura clan of the Ichinoseki domain (established 1671 as a branch of the Sendai Date clan). The principal kami are the Usa Hachiman triad of Emperor Ojin (Homutawake-no-Mikoto), Empress Jingu, and Hime-Okami, recorded in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. Shrine tradition attributes the original founding to Sakanoue no Tamuramaro in 792, with the present-day site established during the Edo-period domain reorganisation as the protective shrine of the castle town. The shrine was ranked as a prefectural shrine during the Meiji era, and its main and worship halls are designated cultural properties of Ichinoseki.
