, also known as Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, is a Shinto shrine in Sumiyoshi ward in the city of Osaka, Japan. It is the main shrine of all the Sumiyoshi shrines in Japan. However, the oldest shrine that enshrines the Sumiyoshi sanjin, the three Sumiyoshi kami, is the Sumiyoshi shrine in Hakata. It is called "Sumiyoshi-san" or "Sumiyossan" by the locals, and is famous for the large crowds that come to the shrine on New Year's Day for hatsumōde. Sumiyoshi taisha enshrines the Sumiyoshi tanjin—Sokotsutsu no Onomikoto, Nakatsutsu no Onomikoto, and Uwatsutsu no Onomikoto—and Okinagatarashihime no Mikoto (Empress Jingū), and they are collectively known as the "Sumiyoshi Ōkami", the great gods of Sumiyoshi. Another term is "Sumiyoshi no Ōgami no Miya". It gives its name to a style of shrine architecture known as ''Sumiyoshi-zukuri''. ==History== The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period.〔Breen, John ''et al.''

These ''heihaku'' were initially presented to 16 shrines including Sumiyoshi.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1962). ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' pp. 116-117.〕 Sumiyoshi was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (''ichinomiya'') for the former Settsu province. 〔("Nationwide List of ''Ichinomiya''," p. 3. ); retrieved 2011-08-09〕 From 1871 through 1946, Sumiyoshi taisha was officially designated one of the , meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard.
