Imamiya Shrine is a shrine located in Imamiya-cho, Murasakino, Kita-ku, Kyoto City. Its official rank is former prefectural shrine. It is also known as "Tamanokoshi (Lucky Marriage) Shrine." It is known as a shrine with a large parish area in Kita-ku and Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City, and with relatively large festivals. We offer a set of two items: a goshuin (shrine stamp) and a history booklet. It is said that there was a shrine enshrining the god of epidemics on this land before the establishment of Heian-kyo. After the establishment of the capital, while Heian-kyo flourished, people suffered from epidemics and disasters. To quell these, Goshin'en, Goryo-sha, Gion-sha, and other places held Goryo-e (ceremonies to appease vengeful spirits) actively. The Shino Goryo-e of Imamiya Shrine was one of them. In other words, in the fifth year of Shoryaku (994) during the reign of Emperor Ichijo, the god of epidemics of this land was enshrined in two portable shrines and placed on Funaoka-yama, and prayers were offered to appease the gods and ward off evil epidemics. This was the Shino Goryo-e, and the origin of the Imamiya Festival. At this time, men and women of all ages in Kyoto all accompanied the portable shrines and climbed Funaoka-yama, performed a refined style with Ayagasa (bamboo umbrellas decorated with flowers), chanted and danced to the accompaniment of music, and floated dolls that represented illness in the Naniwa River. This is the Yasurai Festival, one of the three great strange festivals of Kyoto.
