Vue d'ensemble

Tatsuta Taisha in Sango-cho, Nara, is one of Japan's most ancient wind shrines, enshrining the paired wind deities Amenomihashira-no-Okami and Kuninomihashira-no-Okami — also known as Shinatsuhiko and Shinatsuhime. Shrine tradition holds that Emperor Sujin received a divine revelation instructing him to enshrine the wind gods here, after which crop failures and epidemics ceased. The earliest documentary record appears in the Nihon Shoki for 675 CE, when Emperor Tenmu instituted regular imperial rituals at Tatsuta in tandem with Hirose Taisha — a paired wind-and-water worship that continued as a cornerstone of imperial state religion through the Heian period.
