1878 engraving by Yōshū Chikanobu (1838–1912). The figures represented in these three panels are: * Centre: Front . Emperor Meiji in a Western chair with his wife, Empress Shōken , seated in the foreground. The Imperial couple are accompanied behind and in the flanking panels with an array of Shinto kami and historical figures from Japan's past. Rear . The kami Izanami , Kunitokotatchi and Izanagi . * Right: Front . Emperor Kōmei (seated in foreground), Empress Go-Sakuramachi (here presented as a man with a false goatee), and Emperor Jinmu (carrying a rough bow and perched eagle. Rear . The kami Amaterasu (standing and holding the three Sacred Treasures of Japan ) and Ninigi-no-Mikoto (who first brought to earth the Imperial regalia—the sword, Kusanagi , the mirror, Yata no Kagami , and the jewel, Yasakani no magatama ). * Left: Front : Emperor Go-Momozono (clothed in red), Emperor Kōkaku (clothed in black) and Emperor Ninkō (clothed in green). Rear . The kami Hiko-hohodemi (clothed in white) and Ugayafukiaezu (clothed in yellow).
The modern system of ranked Shinto shrines (近代社格制度 , Kindai Shakaku Seido ) (sometimes called simply shakaku (社格 ) , was an organizational aspect of the establishment of Japanese State Shinto . This system classified Shinto shrines as either official government shrines or "other" shrines. The official shrines were divided into
Imperial shrines (kampeisha ), which are parsed into minor, medium, or major sub-categories; and
National shrines (kokuheisha ), which are similarly categorized as minor, medium, or major.[ 1]
Some shrines are the "first shrines" called ichinomiya that have the highest rank in their respective provinces of Japan .
History
In 1871, an Imperial decree established a hierarchic ranking of Shinto shrines. These rankings were set aside in 1946, when such rankings were deemed "State Shinto " by the Occupation Shinto Directive . The privatized bureau, Jinja Honcho does not have a rating system.
Kanpei-sha
In 1871, the Kanpei-sha (官幣社 ) identified the hierarchy of government-supported shrines most closely associated with the Imperial family.[ 2] The kampeisha were shrines venerated by the imperial family. This category encompasses those sanctuaries enshrining emperors, imperial family members, or meritorious retainers of the Imperial family.[ 1]
Imperial shrines, 1st rank
The most highly ranked Imperial shrines or Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社 ) encompassed 67 sanctuaries.[ 2]
