Transcription
History
According to the Nihon Shoki, Nagata was founded by Empress Jingū at the beginning of the 3rd century along with Hirota Shrine. In 2001, the shrine celebrated its 1,800 years of history.[2]
From 1871 through 1946, the Nagata was officially designated one of the kanpei-chūsha (官幣中社),[4] meaning that it stood in the second tier of government supported shrines which were especially venerated by the imperial family.
Festivals and events
An autumn matsuri in October is a special day (en'nichi) for the kami Kotoshironushi.[5]
A setsubun observance in February is the Tsuina-shiki Shinji, which engages hopes for safety in the home and averting misfortune.[6] This Shinto purification ritual is designated as an intangible cultural heritage event.[2] The elaborate ceremony is a pantomime representation of driving out demons or bad spirits.[7]
