Nishinomiya Shrine

Nishinomiya Shrine (西宮神社) is a Shinto shrine in Nishinomiya in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.[1] At the time of the Sengoku period, the shrine was part of the province of Izumi Settsu.[2]

History

In 1582, the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe visited the shrine and met the priest Shin'nyo, who told her about the ravenous and "colorful" group of rōnin called the Kabukimono who ravaged and wreck havoc upon the land. As the local daimyō had not paid attention to the issue, Naoe took it upon herself to hunt down the kabukimono.[3] Around the same time, Naoe also entered the shrine to make prayers at various altars.[2]

In 1585, the Kakushiba ikki member Naoe returned to the shrine with Junjiro after receiving intel from Hattori Hanzō's contact Konatsu of a puppet show that may detail the location of her mother Tsuyu. While there, they caught sight of the puppet show's event and locals before catching the main show itself.[4]

There, Naoe listened to a story of a young concubine who came to the island of Awaji and fell in love with its daimyō. Under her control, her army led a campaign against the criminal, where her retainer led the charge. However, the story ended with the capture of a shinobi who sought to steal the treasure from the concubine. From this story, Naoe decided to sail to Awaji to find her mother and the final imperial regalia.[4]
