| Research Abstract |
In the Middle Ages in Japan, twenty-two Guardian Gods were enshried within the Royal District, where the central government was located, At the same time, all the local provinces also had their guardian gods. The shrine for the provincial guardian gods was called the Jchinomiya, or the Head Shrine.
It is generally assumed that such provincial Ichinomiya, or Head Shrines, were established during the late 11th and the early 12th centuries. It is also generally berieved tyat each of the provinces enshrined and worshiped a guadian god of its own choice at the Head Shrine. However, despite much research done on the individuality, or hte multiplicity of the provincial gods, no generally acceptable conclusion has been made thus far.
This paper, therefore, focuses on the following three points concerning the problem : l)The presentation of the studies done thus far on this argument, and the indication of some problems of the previous studies. 2)The analyses of the internal structures of the provincial Head Shrine architecture as well as their historical /cultural heritages taking into account such shrines as the Ninomiya, Sannnomiya, and Soja shrines in the local provinces. 3)The presentation of the studies done on the twenty-two shrines of the Royal Province, and the Kokuga, or the branch office of the central government, located in the local provinces.
