KEY WORD :@architecture / shrines
@
Also read chinju no yashiro. It is sometimes called chinjudou ’ΑŽη“°; dojidou “y’n“°; gohoudou Œμ–@“° hakusandou ”’ŽR“°. A shrine which houses the god, chinju, who guards a shrine, village, temple, residence, and even the Imperial Palace which is protected by the twenty-one guardian gods at Ise Jinguu ˆΙ¨_‹{. Chinju ’ΑŽη refers to tutelary gods themselves. However, when a shrine is called chinjudou this usually refers to a shrine housing a Shinto deity which guards a temple. Such an arrangement arose from the blending of Shinto and Buddhism, shinbutsu shuugou _•§K‡, which actually began as early as the Nara period but became a concentrated endeavor during the 13c. Whether the chinjusha is built within the temple precincts or outside in the vicinity, it retains the style of a shrine. It does not take on the appearance of a temple building. Examples: Kasuga Myoujin t“ϊ–Ύ_ at Koufukuji ‹»•ŸŽ› in Nara (Kamakura period). Enjouji Kasugadou, Hakusandou š’¬Ž›t“ϊ“°, ”’ŽR“° in Nara. Chouhoji Chinjudou ’·•ΫŽ›’ΑŽη“° in Wakayama prefecture (Kamakura period). Onjouji Shinra Zenshindou ‰€ιŽ›V—…‘P_“° Shiga prefecture (1347).
