A palanquin-like portable sanctuary where a divine spirit is enshrined temporarily during a shrine festival. This enshrinement is called shinkou _K or devine fortune. The custom is based on a story related in the NiIHON SHOKI “ϊ–{‘‹I about a princess named Yamato Hime no Mikoto ˜`•P–½, the daughter of Emperor Suinin ‚m who reigned from the late 1c BC to the early 1c. AD. She was entrusted with the task of finding a place to enshrine the great sun-goddess, Amaterasu Oomikami “VΖ‘εŒδ_. First she went to Uda ‰F‘Ι in Nara, and then to Oumi ‹ί] in Shiga prefecture before continuing eastward to Mino ”ό”Z the southern part of Gifu prefecture. Finally, she reached Ise ˆΙ¨ province and was told by the goddess that was where she wished to dwell. Thus, a shrine was established at Ise and from then on it became the holiest shrine in Japan.
