Oosugi Jinja 大杉神社 Osugi Shrine, Ibaraki
茨城県稲敷市阿波958番地 / Aba (Awa), Inashiki, Ibaraki
- quote
Osugi Shrine, or popularly called あんばさま“Anba-sama,” is located in Awa, Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
It was a “gosha” shrine in the old shrine rank system and after the World War II it was designated as a “Beppyo Jinjya,” meaning that comes under the direct control of “Jinjya Honcho (Association of Shinto Shrines).”
This shrine is the head shrine of all Osugi Shrines that are distributed in Kanto and Tohoku Regions.
The name Osugi (meaning a large cedar) comes from the large cedar tree that stands in the precinct and worshipped as the sacred body of the deity.
It is said that the shrine was first founded in 767, and in 1241 the deities of Oonamuchi no Mikoto and Sukunahikona no Mikoto were invited from Imamiya Shrine in Kyoto and enshrined here.
Since the Edo period the shrine, as the deity of smallpox prevention and waterway traffic, has been widely worshipped by the people living in Kanto Region and on the Pacific side of Tohoku Region. It is said that in the early Edo period the monk Tenkai, who served as a consultant to the Shogun and stayed at Fudoin Temple in nearby town of Edosaki, was on board a ship in Tojo-no-ura, prayed to the large cedar tree in this shrine and successfully achieved a miracle of bringing about rainfall.
He designated this shrine as the guard of “Kimon (ominous direction)” for Edo Castle, and took the position of the resident priest of Annonji Temople, which was an attached temple of this shrine. Due to these links, Annonji Temple has been a Chokkentai temple (directly linked temple) of Nikko-zan Rinnoji Temple, where a mausoleum of the 3rd Tokugawa Shogun is located.

The dreams are those of farmers who have prayed for rain.
The Ôsugi Shrine ("Great Cedar Shrine") in Inashiki has a gracious deity (daimyôjin) who makes dreams come true.

nekozuka 猫塚 mound for a cat，hebizuka 蛇塚 mound for a serpent
A Samurai who lived nearby had a cat, which one day bit into the sleeve of his wife's kimono and would not let go. So he cut off the head of the cat and it flew up to the ceiling. There he realized that it had bitten into daija 大蛇 a huge serpent, to protect him from harm.
He held a funeral for the cat and had a small Shrine and mound erected at 大杉神社 Osugi Jinja.
The body of the serpent, which he had cut into three parts, was buried in another mound, to the North of the cat mound.

Shorin Jinja and the Nekozuka mound 少林神社の猫塚
8, Wakabayashi Ward, Sendai, Miyagi
猫塚古墳 Nekozuka Kofun
七郷堀の南，現在の若林区文化センターやウルスラ学院のあたりいったいには，【国分小泉屋敷】とよばれる伊達家の大きな別荘（べっそう）がありました。そのすがたをえがいた絵図面が宮城県図書館に残されています。
伊達家の別荘を描いたこの絵図面の一部に猫塚古墳がえがかれているのです。
絵図には【大杉大明神】Osugi Daimyojin として，大きな杉の木のある小山と神社がえがかれています。今は，古墳のおもかげを残していない，猫塚も江戸時代には古墳の形をとどめていたようです。
絵図がえがかれたのは，文政9年（1826）。江戸時代の後半です。
