Shikaumi Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan.[1][2] It is located on Shikanoshima island.[3]
The shrine has historical connections to foreign wars as it was the place from which Empress Jingū launched her invasion of Korea, and it was also a site of conflict during the Mongol invasions of Japan.[1]
The Azumi people, who inhabited Kyushu, traditionally followed the sea deity, Watatsumi.[4] Shikaumi Shrine is considered this deity's ancestral shrine, and also honors Watatsumi[5] and Azumi-no-isora.[6]
The primary revered figures of the shrine include, on the left, Nakatsu Watatsumi no Kami (middle depth god) and Empress Jingū; in the middle, Sokotsu Watatsumi no Kami (depths god) and Tamayorihime no Kami; and on the right, Uwatsu Watatsumi no Kami (sea surface god) and Emperor Ōjin.[7]: xxvi
The three watatsumis are speculated to correspond to historical fishing practices[7]: xxviii
Empress Jingū and Emperor Ojin are both worshipped at the shrine due to their relationship with the myth of the invasion of the Three Han.[7]: xxvii Empress Jingu had sex with the god Azumi-no-isora while pregnant with Emperor Ojin after he said from the womb that it was acceptable, and then Azumi no Isora gave her the tide jewels.[7]: xxvii Watatsumi Shrine which was founded by Empress Jingu when she returned from the Three Han (三韓, Korea) campaign.[8] and also worships Watatsumi[9] and Ikasuri Shrine and Ikuta Shrine which were also founded by her at the time.[9]
The biennial gojinkosai ceremony held at the shrine is recognized as an intangible cultural property by the prefecture.[5]
The shrine incorporates a deer motif in its rituals and designs. The deer motif is significant to the Azumi people and their beliefs,[1][4] and is a common feature in the historic culture of the region.[1][4]
