List of National Treasures of Japan (shrines)
The number of Shinto shrines in Japan today has been estimated at more than 150,000.[1] Single structure shrines are the most common. Shrine buildings might also include oratories (in front of main sanctuary), purification halls, offering halls called heiden (between honden and haiden), dance halls, stone or metal lanterns, fences or walls, torii and other structures.[2] The term "National Treasure" has been used in Japan to denote cultural properties since 1897.[3] The definition and the criteria have changed since the inception of the term. The shrine structures in this list were designated national treasures when the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties was implemented on June 9, 1951. As such they are eligible for government grants for repairs, maintenance and the installation of fire-prevention facilities and other disaster prevention systems. Owners are required to announce any changes to the National Treasures such as damage or loss and need to obtain a permit for transfer of ownership or intended repairs.[4] The items are selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology based on their "especially high historical or artistic value".[5][6] This list presents 42[nb 1][nb 2] entries of national treasure shrine structures from 12th-century Classical Heian period to the early modern 19th-century Edo period. The number of structures listed is actually more than 42, because in some cases groups of related structures are combined to form a single entry. The structures include main halls (honden), oratories (haiden), gates, offering halls (heiden), purification halls (haraedono) and other structures associated with shrines.[6]

History
editThe practice of marking sacred areas began in Japan as early as the Yayoi period (from about 500 BC to 300 AD) originating from primal religious beliefs. Features in the landscape such as rocks, waterfalls, islands, and especially mountains, were places believed to be capable of attracting kami, and subsequently were worshiped as yorishiro.[7] Originally, sacred places may have been simply marked with a surrounding fence and an entrance gate or torii.[8] Later, temporary structures similar to present day portable shrines[9] were constructed to welcome the gods to the sacred place, which eventually evolved into permanent buildings that were dedicated to the gods. Ancient shrines were constructed according to the style of dwellings (Izumo Taisha)[7][10] or storehouses (Ise Grand Shrine).[7][8] The buildings had gabled roofs, raised floors, plank walls, and were thatched with reed or covered with hinoki cypress bark.[8] Such early shrines did not include a space for worship.[7] Three important forms of ancient shrine architectural styles exist: taisha-zukuri,[ex 1] shinmei-zukuri[ex 2] and sumiyoshi-zukuri.[ex 3][1][9] They are exemplified by Izumo Taisha, Nishina Shinmei Shrine and Sumiyoshi Taisha,[11] respectively, and date from before 552 AD.[12] According to the tradition of Shikinen sengū-sai (式年遷宮祭), the buildings or shrines were faithfully rebuilt at regular intervals adhering to the original design. In this manner, ancient styles have been replicated through the centuries to the present day.[nb 3][10][13][14]
Beginning in the mid-6th century, as Buddhism was brought to Japan from Baekje, new styles of shrine architecture were introduced; today's Shinto shrine blueprint is of Buddhist origin.[15] The concept of temples as a place of assembly was applied to shrines. Spaces for worship were added in the form of extended roofs or worship halls (haiden) in addition to the main hall (honden).[7] The following stylistic elements of Buddhist temple architecture were assimilated and applied to Japanese shrines: column-base stones,[nb 4] brackets, curved roofs, painted surfaces, metal ornaments, corridors and pagodas.[7][8][16] At the end of the 8th century as architectural styles evolved, new elements were added as is evident in kasuga-zukuri[ex 4] (Kasuga Shrine and Hakusandō/Kasugadō at Enjō-ji), the flowing roof or nagare-zukuri[ex 5] (Shimogamo Shrine), hachiman-zukuri[ex 6] (Usa Shrine) and hiyoshi-zukuri[ex 7] (Hiyoshi Taisha).[17][18] The nagare-zukuri continues to be the more popular style, followed by the kasuga-zukuri.[7][14] The honden of Ujigami Shrine dates to this period.[19] At the end of the Heian period torii and fences were commonly replaced with two-storied gates and grand colonnades copied from temple architecture. The influence of the residential shinden-zukuri style of palaces and mansions is apparent in shrines such as Itsukushima Shrine.[20]
The auxiliary Marōdo Shrine at Itsukushima Shrine originates from the 13th-century Kamakura period, and the honden and haiden of the Kibitsu Shrine date from the 15th-century Muromachi period.[21] In the late 16th century and early 17th century, during the Momoyama period, gongen-zukuri was introduced as a new plan of building shrines. The main hall was joined to the oratory via a connecting structure called the ai-no-ma, derived from the hachiman-zukuri style. Examples of gongen-zukuri are the honden at Kitano Tenman-gū and Ōsaki Hachiman Shrine.[22] Tōshō-gū dates from the Edo period and was completed in 1636. It is a complex assembly of richly adorned shrines, temples and a mausoleum.[23] Such complexes are a result of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism which began to appear during the Heian period; Kitano Tenman-gū, built in 947 for the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, was the first of these byō or jingū-ji.[7][24]

- ^ a b c (hachiman-zukuri, 八幡造): a style of shrine architecture characterised by a structure which appears from the side as two separate buildings with their gabled roofs joined by a rain gutter. The space between the buildings is enclosed and 1 ken wide. The entrances are in the center of each building on the side parallel to the ridges. The front structure is the outer sanctuary (外殿, gai-den), that at the rear the inner sanctuary (内殿, nai-den). Together they form the main hall (honden).[14][94]
- ^ a b c (hiyoshi-zukuri or hie-zukuri, 日吉造): a style unique to the main buildings of Hiyoshi Taisha. From the front, the building appears like a 5 ken wide structure with hip-and-gable irimoya style roof and an entrance from the central step canopy. From the side, the eave appears shorn off midway giving the rear roof a trapezoidal form. The core of the building is 3 ken×2 ken to which 1 ken wide aisles are added on three sides making it a 5 ken×3 ken structure.[14][46]

- ^ a b (ryōnagare-zukuri, 両流造): a style of honden architecture characterised by a gable roof with a long curved flowing roof line on both sides unlike the nagare style which has a short curved roof on the back and a long curved roof on the front.[14][84]
