History
The shrine was established in the 43rd year of the reign of the legendary Emperor Keiko, shortly after the death of his son Yamato Takeru.[2]
The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period and it was accorded some attention during the Kamakura period; however, the Shrine was amongst the many which failed to prosper during the difficult years of the Sengoku period.[3]
- 755 (Tenpyō-shōhō 7, 3rd month): The shrine was moved to its current location on orders of Empress Kōken.[4]
- 1190 (Kenkyū1, 11th month): Minamoto no Yoritomo visited the shrine on his way to Kyoto.[5]
- 1233 (Jōei 2): Kujō Yoritsune completedly rebuilt the structures of the shrine.[5]
- 1868 (Meiji 1, 9th month): When Emperor Meiji made his first visit to Edo, he dispatched an emissary to the shrine with aheikaku for the kami.[5]
Takebe was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (ichinomiya) for the former Ōmi province. [6]
From 1871 through 1946, the Takebe was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社?),[7] meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines which were especially venerated by the imperial family.
Festivals
Annual festivals at Takebe include modern events like the Reisai in mid-April[8] and older rites such as
- Gokokusai or Gokoku no matsuri in early February.[9]
- Funayiki no matsuri in mid August[10]
- Chinkwa-sai in late November.[11]
