[Ikeda, Osaka] Gofuku Shrine, a sacred place for fashion-related people, is very fashionable

Gofuku Shrine is associated with the legend of Orihime. Even though it is Orihime, it is not the Milky Way ✨ love romance type. A shop that sells kimonos is called a "Kimono shop 👘", and it seems that the origin of the word "gofuku" is here. Therefore, it is said to attract the faith of people related to clothing as a shrine of clothes and clothing. However, Gofuku Shrine is pronounced "Kureha" not "Gofuku", so please do not make a mistake! The front left and right walls of the worship hall are stained glass, which is very stylish, so please take your time to look at it. About 1700 years ago, that is, in the far-off Kofun period, two sisters who were skilled in weaving and sewing and were brought from China at the request of Emperor Ojin settled in this area and taught weaving and dyeing techniques to Japan. The sisters were Kurehatori (Kurehatori) and Ayahatori (Ayahatori), and this Gofuku Shrine enshrines the older sister. Ikeda Shrine, where her younger sister is enshrined, is also located nearby at Satsukiyama. Long lines form during the first shrine visit of the year, but Ebisu is also enshrined in the grounds of Gofuku Shrine, and the shrine becomes even more lively from January 9th to January 11th for the "Ebessan" festival. *The photo was taken on New Year's Day 2023 (first shrine visit of the year).
