Osaka, Osaka / 今宮戎神社

Imamiya Ebisu Shrine

Said to have been founded in 600, when Prince Shotoku built Shitennoji Temple and enshrined a guardian deity to its west, the shrine was revered as the protector of the market. Ebisu, usually shown holding a sea bream and a fishing rod, stood for the bounty of the sea; the shrine once stood near the coast and from the Heian period offered fresh fish to the imperial court. Its Toka Ebisu festival, held each year on January 9, 10 and 11, draws large crowds.
