Kamakuragu Shrine

Kanazawa-kaido Area

Kamakuragu Shrine was established by Imperial Order of the Meiji Emperor. The enshrined deity is Prince Morinaga who died violently during the Nanbokucho Period (1336-1392). Every year since 1959 the Kamakura Torchlight Noh Performance has been staged on fall evenings in the shrine precinct. The torchlit performance is a seasonal tradition in Kamakura. Many writers have been inspired by the Noh performances, including Masaaki Tachihara, the author of Fuyu no Katami ni and Kamakura Madam. He wrote a novel titled Takigi Noh (Torchlit Noh).
