Shikaumi Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Fukuoka.[1][2] It is located on Shikanoshima island[3] where the Azumi people used to live.[4]
The shrine has historical connections to foreign wars because 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 King of Na gold seal was discovered on the same island as the shrine.[5] supporting it's historical significance in foreign relations.
The Azumi people traditionally followed the sea God, Watatsumi.[6] The Shrine is considered their ancestral shrine and honors their god Watatsumi.[7] It also honors their ancestral god Azumi-no-isora.[8]
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.[9]:xxvi
The three watatsumis are speculated to correspond to historical fishing practices[9]: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.[9]: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.[9]:xxvii Watatsumi Shrine which was founded by Empress Jingu when she returned from the Three Han (三韓, Korea) campaign.[10] and also worships Watatsumi[11] and Ikasuri Shrine and Ikuta Shrine which were also founded by her at the time.[11]
The shrine is taken care of by a priest who is believed to be a descendant of the Azumi clan.[7][9]:xxvi The biennial gojinkosai ceremony held at the shrine is recognized as an intangible cultural property by the prefecture.[7]
The shrine, incorporates a deer motif in its rituals and designs. The deer motif is significant to the Azumi people and their beliefs[1][12], and is a common feature in the historic culture of the region.[1][12] The shrine has a building with thousands of deer antlers in it, as well as two stones representing turtles.[7][9]:xxvi
