Ishi Jinja

In the Nakamura ward of Nagoya stands Ishi Jinja, a shrine of ancient faith that I have long protected and observed. As the name suggests—stone—this shrine symbolizes a foundation that is firm and unyielding, continuously bringing stability and assurance to human hearts. Rooted deeply in the Nakamura Honmachi district, it has welcomed countless devotees through the ages. This shrine, protecting hearts as solid as stone and standing fast as granite, has long been beloved by merchants and craftspeople. Through every season, devotees approach, and the shrine's blessings of steadfastness and stability continue to protect and secure the foundations of human life.
