Yamato Shrine
ภาพรวม
Oyamato Shrine (大和神社) in Tenri, Nara, is among Japan's oldest documented shrines, with its foundation legend recorded in both the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki in connection with Emperor Sujin's reign. It enshrines Yamato Okunitama-no-Kami, the tutelary deity of the Yamato land, who was separated from the imperial palace and given proper independent worship after plagues afflicted the land — one of the earliest acts of formal shrine religion in Japan. The shrine carries a unique modern connection: it served as the guardian shrine of the Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Yamato, and enshrines within its precincts the spirits of the 2,736 crew members who died when the ship was sunk on April 7, 1945.
