is a Shintō shrine in Fukuoka .〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1962). ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' p. 339.〕 ==History== Hakozaki Shrine was founded in 923, with the transfer of the spirit of the ''kami Hachiman'' from Daibu Hachiman Shrine in what is Honami Commandry, Chikuzen Province in Kyūshū. During the first Mongol invasion on November 19, 1274 (''Bun'ei 11, 20th day of the 10th month''), the Japanese defenders were pushed back from the several landing sites.〔Davis, Paul K. (2001). ( ''100 decisive battles: from ancient times to the present,'' p. 147. )〕 In the ensuring skirmishes, the shrine was burned to the ground.〔Turnbull, Stephen R. (2003). ( ''Genghis Khan & the Mongol Conquests 1190–1400'', p. 66. )〕 When the shrine was reconstructed, a calligraphy ''Tekikoku kōfuku'' (敵国降伏; surrender of the enemy nation) was put on the tower gate. The calligraphy was written by Emperor Daigo, dedicated by Emperor Daijo Kameyama to supplicated to defeat enemies who invade. The shrine is highly ranked among the many shrines in Japan. It was listed in ''Engishiki-jinmyōchō'' (延喜式神名帳) edited in 927. In 11th century or 12th century, the shrine was ranked as ''Ichinomiya'' (一宮; first shrine) of Chikuzen Province. Admiral Heihachiro Togo, famous for defeating Russia on the seas, was known to worship often at Hakozaki shrine. From 1871-1946, Hakozaki was officially designated a ''Kanpei-taisha'' (官幣大社), in the first rank of government supported shrines. Other similar Hachiman shrines were Iwashimizu Hachimangū of Yawata in Kyoto Prefecture and Usa Shrine of Usa in Ōita Prefecture.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard Arthur Brabazon. (1959).
