Walk in Minase Jingu Shrine – Shimamoto Town, Japan
Minase Jingu (水無瀬神宮) is a Shinto Shrine in Shimamoto Town (島本町), Osaka Prefecture, Japan.
The Shrine is dedicated to the veneration of the kami of Emperor Go-Toba, Emperor Tsuchimikado and Emperor Juntoku.
In the struggle with the Kamakura shogunate, the three historical figures are united by one common factor. Each was overpowered and banished from the Imperial center in Kyoto.
Go-Toba was banished to Oki Island, where he died.
Tsuchimikado felt compelled to abandon Kyoto, traveling first to Tosa province (now known as Kōchi Prefecture); and later, he removed himself to Awa province, where he died in exile.
Juntoku was forced to end his days at Sado Island.
Emperor Go-Toba (後鳥羽天皇, Go-Toba-tennō, August 6, 1180 – March 28, 1239) was the 82nd emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. His reign spanned the years from 1183 through 1198.
Emperor Tsuchimikado (土御門天皇, Tsuchimikado-tennō, January 3, 1196 – November 6, 1231) was the 83rd emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. Tsuchimikado’s reign spanned the years from 1198 through 1210.
Emperor Juntoku (順徳天皇, Juntoku-tennō) (October 22, 1197 – October 7, 1242) was the 84th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. His reign spanned the years from 1210 through 1221.
