Description
Okuni Shrine (小國神社) is a Shinto shrine in Ichinomiya, Mori-machi, Shuchi District, Shizuoka Prefecture, the first-ranked shrine of the former Totomi Province, listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho (927 CE) for Totomi Province, Shuchi District. The principal kami is Onamuchi-no-Mikoto, recorded in the Kojiki (712 CE) as Okuninushi who carried out the building of the land in Izumo. The shrine sits in a wooded precinct of around 100,000 tsubo at the southern foot of sacred Mount Hongu (511 m), which has been venerated as the kannabi (resting place of the kami) since ancient times. According to shrine tradition, the shrine was founded in 555 CE under Emperor Kinmei when the kami descended on Mount Hongu, and the twelve-piece bugaku, transmitted from Heian-period Kofuku-ji of Nara, is an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
