Description

The marodo shrine is the biggest *sesshas in Itsukushima. This shrine, which is subordinate to Itsukushima Shrine, is dedicated to five deities, namely Amenooshihomimi-no-mikoto, Ikitsuhikone-no-mikoto, Amenohohi-no-mikoto, Amatsuhikone-no-mikoto and Kumanokusubi-no-mikoto. Its architectural style is similar to that of the Main Shrine, with only slight differences in detail.
A seclusion room is located on one side of the worshipping hall, and a sutra chamber on the other, in which it is said that the priests recited sutras.

*Sessha is second in rank and size to the main shrine. Such shrines are sometimes called auxilary shrines. Dedicated to a deity which has a deep and significant relationship to the god or godess which is venerated within the main shrine.

Itsukushima Shrine - The Floating Shrine on the Sea - has more than 1400 years of history, and is a registered World Heritage Site. The vermillion lacquered shrine, located at the beautiful Itsukushima, fits well with the Prussian blue sea, and the green of the virgin forest, recreating the elegance of the Heian era.

The shrine and its torii gate are unique for being built over water, seemingly floating in the sea during high tide. The shrine complex consists of multiple buildings, including a prayer hall, a main hall and a noh theater stage, which are connected by boardwalks and supported by pillars above the sea.

From ancient times, people have sensed the spiritual sanctity of Miyajima, and have revered and worshipped the island itself as goddesses. The main shrine is said to have been constructed in 593 by Saeki Kuramoto.
