Description

Oimata Kubo Hachiman Shrine (大井俣窪八幡神社) is a Shinto shrine in Kita, Yamanashi, Yamanashi Prefecture, associated with the Kai Genji and the Takeda clan as their tutelary shrine of the medieval period. The principal kami are the Hachiman triad of Emperor Ojin (Homutawake-no-Mikoto), Empress Jingu (Okinagatarashi-hime), and Ashinakatsu-hiko-no-Mikoto (Emperor Chuai), deriving from Usa Jingu. According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded in 859 CE by imperial decree of Emperor Seiwa, who relocated a branch from Usa Jingu. The present main hall (1511) was rebuilt under the patronage of Takeda Nobutora and Shingen, and is an Important Cultural Property — the main hall, worship hall, gate, the Wakamiya Hachiman main hall, and the Kora subordinate main hall together form a rare ensemble of Sengoku-period shrine architecture.
