What is Ichinomiya?
When you think of Ichinomiya, you often think of Ichinomiya City in Gifu Prefecture.
The place name Ichinomiya comes from the word for shrine.
I did some research on this.
The Meaning of Ichinomiya
The highest-ranking shrine in a region is called Ichinomiya.
The second-ranking shrine is Ninomiya, and the third is Sannomiya.
The division was based on the Ritsuryo system, and was called _ province.
Examples include Etchu and Echigo.
Number of Provinces Under the Ritsuryo System
According to Wikipedia, there were 68 provinces until the Edo period.
This number increased to 73 in the Meiji period, and then to 47 with the introduction of the prefecture system.
Number of Ichinomiyas
You might think there were 68 Ichinomiyas because of the Ritsuryo system, but that’s not actually the case.
There are various theories, but the most common are 102, 104, or 108.
It refers to the highest rank in a region, but I think this is because the region was further subdivided.
For example, Toyama is said to have four Ichinomiya shrines.
They are Oyama Shrine in Tateyama Town, Imizu Shrine and Keta Shrine in Takaoka City, and Takase Shrine in Nanto City.
Summary
Today, I researched Ichinomiya shrines.
I’ve learned more about shrines now.
I’ll brag about them at a drinking party!
