Tsuyu-no-Tenjinja (Ohatsu Tenjin) shrine walk (Osaka, Japan)

A short walk in Tsuyu-no-Tenjinja, also known as Ohatsu Tenjin. DJI Pocket 2 footage, 2023.03.12. About Ohatsu Tenjin: Tusyu-no-Tenjinja Shrine is the guardian shrine of the Umeda area. It was destroyed during one of the bombing raids in 1945 that razed much of Umeda to the ground. Completely rebuilt and restored in 1957 it stands now as a symbol of the area’s renewed prosperity and resilience at the end of a covered shopping arcade called Ohatsu-Tenjindori Shotengai.The shrine takes its name from a poem by the great Heian era scholar Suguwara Michizane. After his death Michizane was deified into the Shinto pantheon as the god of learning, Tenjin. That is why the shrine is called Tsuyu-no-Tenjinja, or often just Tsuyunoten.Today the shrine is better known for its romantic associations as it is a key setting of the bunraku puppet play: The Love Suicides of Sonezaki. The play tells the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers, the geisha Ohatsu and the apprentice trader Tokubei, and it was supposedly based on a historical double suicide that took place at the shrine in 1703. The shrine is also called Ohatsu-no-Tenjin after the heroine of the story, and there is a love sanctuary within the grounds where you can pray before a statue of the ill-fated couple. You can read the full story at the shrine, which is now a popular spot both for young couples, and for those who are seeking true love. (source: Osakastation.com)
