About Meiji Shrine
Meiji Shrine, in Shibuya, Tokyo, is a Shinto shrine. It is dedicated to Empress Shōken and her husband, Emperor Meiji, in the form of their deified spirits. The emperor's grave is elsewhere, at Fushimi-momoyama south of Kyoto. The Japanese Diet resolved to honor the emperor's role in the Meiji Restoration after he died in 1912. The site chosen was an iris garden in a part of Tokyo that the imperial couple were known to visit.
Itō Chūta led the work, which began in 1915, and the traditional nagare-zukuri style was used for the building, mainly in Japanese cypress and copper. It was a national project, with youth groups and civic associations across Japan donating labor and funding. The dedication took place on November 3, 1920; the shrine was complete in 1921, and the grounds were finished by 1926. Tokyo air raids in World War II destroyed the original building, and the rebuilt shrine, funded by public fund raising, was completed in October 1958.
The shrine sits in a forest of 70 hectares (170 acres). People from all over Japan gave the forest's 120,000 trees, of 365 species, when the shrine was founded. The inner precinct, the Naien, centers on the shrine buildings, and a treasure museum is part of it. The outer precinct, the Gaien, holds the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, with 80 large murals showing scenes from the lives of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken, along with several sports facilities.
