is a Shinto shrine in Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is built over the grave of Sugawara no Michizane and is one of the main shrines dedicated to Tenjin, the deified form of Michizane. The shrine's precinct spans over and includes several structures. Its ''honden'', or main shrine, was first built by Yasuyuki Umasake in 905, two years after the death of Michizane. A larger structure was constructed by the Fujiwara clan in 919 but was destroyed in a fire during a civil war. The Momoyama-style shrine visitors see today dates from 1591 and is an Important Cultural Property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕 The grounds also contain two ponds, a bridge and a treasure house.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Precinct )〕 As well as the main shrine dedicated to Tenjin there are auxiliary and branch shrines of many other kami.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Other shrines )〕 The auxiliary shrine honden is an Important Cultural Property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Assets )〕 The shrine is also known for its 6,000 ''ume'' (Asian plum) trees belonging to 167 varieties. One tree, known as ''Tobiume'', stands directly to the right of the ''honden''. Legend has it that after Michizane left Kyoto in exile, he yearned so much for this tree that it uprooted itself and flew to Dazaifu Tenman-gū.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plum )〕 ==Treasures== The Hōmotsuden houses items including:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=宝物殿 )〕 * Kan'en, a tenth-century history and ethnography (National Treasure)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Treasures - Tenjin )〕 * a Heian period tachi (Important Cultural Property)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕 * a Kamakura period tachi (Important Cultural Property)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕 * a Muromachi period painted stand (Important Cultural Property)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕 * documents dating from the Heian period to the Edo period important to the history of Dazaifu and Kyushu (Important Cultural Property)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Database of Registered National Cultural Properties )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dazaifu Tenman-gū」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
