Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine (本住吉神社, Motosumiyoshi Jinja) is a Japanese Shinto shrine in Higashinada ward, Kobe.[2] It is one of the biggest shrines in western Kobe. It is next to Sumiyoshi Station. The shrine has existed since the 13th century.[3]
Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine holds a danjiri festival annually in May.[4] Portable shrines are wheeled through neighborhoods around the shrine by teams of about 50 people.
Controversy
[edit]It is insisted by the Shrine in its "Chronicle of Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine" (2000), based on Kojiki-den written by Motoori Norinaga, that the head of Sumiyoshi Shrine originally moved from this Shrine to Sumiyoshi Taisha because Moto-Sumiyoshi Shrine has "Moto-" which means "the Head".[5][6]
