| Overview |
The enshrined deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Ukanomitama-no-Mikoto and an annual grand festival is held on September 15th. It is said that the shrine was originally built praying for the coming of Susanoo-no-Mikoto as a god to Kawada cultivated land of Senju 5-chome in 1294. It was moved to the current location when the Arakawa drainage channel (current the Arakawa) was excavated in 1913. In the precincts, there are a memorial monument of Making paper (Adachi registered tangible cultural property), on which the happy memory was engraved when they were given orders to produce the reworked paper (recycled paper) by the Shogunate in 1843, the first main pillar of Senju-Shinbashi bridge which was built when the drainage channel was excavated, and a memorial monument of Senju-Shinbashi, on which the happy memory was engraved when they could extend cultivated fields after the completion of a new irrigation water in 1905, and Sengen-jinja shrine and Fujizuka mound located in both Kawada and Motojuku villages (Adachi registered tangibla cultural property), which were forced to relocate due to the excavation of the drainage channel. |
