Shimogamo Shrine (\u4e0b\u9d28\u795e\u793e Shimogamo-jinja), is the common name of an important Shinto sanctuary in the Shimogamo district of Kyoto city’s Saky\u014d ward. Its formal name is Kamo-mioya-jinja (\u8cc0\u8302\u5fa1\u7956\u795e\u793e). It is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan and is one of the seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which have been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The term Kamo-jinja in Japanese is a general reference to Shimogamo Shrine and Kamigamo Shrine, the traditionally linked Kamo shrines of Kyoto; Shimogamo is the older of the pair, being believed to be 100 years older than Kamigamo, and dating to the 6th century, centuries before Kyoto became the capital of Japan (794, see Heian-ky\u014d). The Kamo-jinja serve the function of protecting Kyoto from malign influences.<\/p>\n

The jinja name identifies the Kamo family of kami or deities who are venerated. The name also refers to the ambit of shrine’s nearby woods, which are vestiges of the primeval forest of Tadasu no Mori. In addition, the shrine name references the area’s early inhabitants, the Kamo clan, many of whom continue to live near the shrine their ancestors traditionally served.<\/p>\n

Shimogamo Shrine is dedicated to the veneration of Tamayori-hime (\u7389\u4f9d\u59eb; lit., the spirit-inviting maiden) and her father, Kamo Taketsunomi (\u8cc0\u8302\u5efa\u89d2\u8eab). Tamayori-hime is the mother of Kamo Wakeikazuchi (\u8cc0\u8302\u5225\u96f7; the thunder-divider of Kamo), who was sired by Honoikazuchi-no-mikoto (\u706b\u96f7\u795e; the God of Fire and Thunder). Kamigamo Shrine, the other of the two Kamo shrines of Kyoto, is dedicated to Kamo Wakeikazuchi. These kami are variously associated with thunder.<\/p>\n
