Suda Hachiman Shrine is a Shinto Shrine in Wakayama Prefecture[1]. It was founded in 859. The Suda Hachiman Shrine Mirror was found there. It is a National treasure of Japan.[2][3] The Shrine is dedicated to Hachiman.[4]
Suda Hachiman Shrine is located in Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture, and stands as a significant historical and religious site in Japan.[5]
Established likely in the eleventh century, Suda Hachiman is a branch shrine of the prominent Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine situated in Kyoto. It was built on the Suda no Shõ estate.[5]
The shrine is most renowned for its 6th-century cast bronze mirror, designated as a National Treasure of Japan. Measuring 19.8 cm in diameter, the mirror features a detailed design with nine human figures, one mounted on a horse. Its design is reminiscent of Chinese cast-bronze mirrors from the Later Han and Six Dynasties periods.[5]
This mirror's first recorded mention is in the 19th-century gazetteer Famous Places of Kii Province Illustrated, serialized in Wakayama City between 1811 and 1851. Its origins are debated; some believe it was discovered during the Edo period (1615-1868), while others think it may have belonged to an older, pre-existing shrine.[5]
There are speculations regarding the mirror's origin. Some historians propose it was unearthed in the vicinity during the Edo period (1615-1868) along with other artifacts, while others theorize it could have belonged to an older shrine that was replaced by Suda Hachiman.[5] ja:隅田八幡神社
