Narumi Tegashi Shrine Main Hall
The Narumi Tegashi Shrine Main Hall (鳴海杻神社本殿) is a structure of 1917 at Narumi Tegashi Shrine in Haguro, Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, and it was registered as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property on March 6, 2024, under registration number 23-0593. The Agency for Cultural Affairs records it as a one-bay hip-and-gable shrine, single-storey timber, with a cypress-bark roof (temporarily covered in copper) and a building area of 5.2 square metres.
Why It Was Registered
The Narumi Tegashi Shrine Main Hall was registered as a model of design. According to the Agency, it has a complex roof with a triangular chidori gable on the front and a cusped gable over the porch. The bracketing is of projecting type, with three-stepped brackets under the veranda.
The folding panelled doors at the front bear paulownia crests, and carving fills the side screens, curved tie beams, frog-leg struts, beam ends and gable pendants. The Agency regards it as a main hall of excellent design.
What to Look For
Look at the layered roof: the chidori gable and the cusped porch gable together give this small hall a splendid appearance (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Note the carving on the side screens, frog-leg struts and gable pendants, and the paulownia crests on the front doors. The main hall stands behind the ritual hall.
