Shiramine Jingu
Shiramine Jingu in Kyoto was established in 1868 by Emperor Meiji to enshrine the spirit of Emperor Sutoku (1119–1164), who had been exiled to Sanuki Province (modern Kagawa) following his defeat in the Hogen Rebellion and died there in grief. The shrine is also dedicated to Emperor Junnin. In the Edo period, a kemari (ancient court football) practice ground near the site was established, and Shiramine Jingu is now the spiritual home of Japanese football (kemari, soccer, and all ball sports), drawing athletes from across the country.
