shagoo 　社号　shago "Name of a shrine"
Names of types of shrines, such as daijingû, jingû, gû, taisha, and sha.
In a few exceptional cases, the name of the deity enshrined is used as a shagô. The title of jingû is the highest appellation; it includes Ise no Jingû and other special shrines dedicated to imperial ancestors or emperors or having an otherwise distinguished background.
The title of gû is applied only to shrines dedicated to the spirit of an emperor or a member of the imperial family, or to a shrine having some other special historical significance.
Taisha indicates a shrine, such as Izumo Taisha, that occupies a position of prominence in the area.
Jinja and sha are general appellations.

shoosha, oyashiro, koyashiro 小社 small shrine

木隠れや鼠の小社下紅葉
kogakure ya nezumi no shoosha shita momiji

hidden among the trees -
a shrine with mice and
red leaves on the ground
Tr. Gabi Greve

. Mizuta Masahide 水田正秀 (1657 - 1723) .


shita momiji can refer to the lower red leaves of a tree or the red leaves covering the ground.

Imagine a small local shrine.
After the harvest the farmers come throwing a handful of new rice at the shrine to show their gratitude.
And in turn families of mice come to partake of the rice . . .
