The Sumiyoshi Taisha in Osaka is the principal shrine among all of the Sumiyoshi shrines in Japan.
The Sumiyoshi Taisha in Osaka is the principal shrine among all of the Sumiyoshi shrines in Japan. Dating back to the 3rdcentury before the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, the Shinto shrine is the seminal architectural building of the sumiyoshi-zukuri style, with straight sloping roof topped by a forked finial, and decorative horizontal and vertical poles. It enshrines the kami who protect sailors as the Sumiyoshi sanjin—Sokotsutsu no Onomikoto, Nakatsutsu no Onomikoto, and Uwatsutsu no Onomikoto, as well as Empress Jingu. The iconic Soribashi or Taikobashi bridge is a bright vermilion structure with an arc that rises 4.4 metres above the pond it spans in front of the shrine.
