Fukui Shrine
Fukui Shrine, established in 1943, enshrines Matsudaira Yoshinaga (Shungaku, 1828–1890), the reform-minded 16th lord of Fukui Domain and one of the "Four Wise Lords" of the Bakumatsu era. It holds the distinction of being the last shrine in all of Japan to receive the imperial betsugaku kanpei-sha designation. Just two years after its founding, the original wooden main hall was destroyed in the Fukui air raids of July 19, 1945; it was dramatically rebuilt in 1957 in a modernist concrete design that has since been recognized by DOCOMOMO Japan (2022) as a significant work of Japanese modernist architecture.
