| Overview | Inari-jinja shrine (also known as Senzaki Inari) was founded in 926, and then Hikawa-jinja shrine was built in 1279, and it was called Futatsu-Mori at the end of the Edo period. In 1873, Hikawa-jinja shrine and Inari-jinja shrine were enshrined together and became Nishimori-jinja shrine. In 1915, it was renamed Senju-jinja shrine. The current enshrined deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Ukanomitama-no-Mikoto. Although the wooden buildings were burned down by the war damage in April 1945, the main building of the shrine was rebuilt in 1958 and the structures were gradually reconstructed. Fuji-zuka in the precincts built in 1922 was moved and rebuilt to the present location in 1936 (Adachi registered tangible folk cultural property). In addition, there are a stone monument inscribed with a haiku of Matsuo Basho built in 1866 and Nishimori-jinja shrine historical monument with inscription written by Sato Gencho lived in Senju, who was a scholar of the Chinese classics and was also a Chinese poetry teacher of Mori Ogai. |
