History: The shrine is situated at the eastern end of Gion Machi in Kyoto and is commonly called "Gion-san". It is dedicated to the Shinto deities Susano-o-no-Mikoto and his consort Inadahime-no-Mikoto, together with their sons. The present buildings, with the exception of the older 2-story west gate (depicted in this wall hanging), were built in 1654 by the order of the shogun. Among the shrine's treasures are a pair of carved wooden komainu which are mythological 'lion-like' animals--called shi shi which are said to repel evil spirits. One is depicted here in the lower right corner. These sculptures are attributed to the renowned sculptor, Unkei. The shrine is the site of the Gion Festival and Okera Mairi--two of Kyoto's most noteworthy festivals.
Our large size quilted wall hangings are made from 100% cotton or cotton/rayon blend furoshiki (a traditional Japanese decorative wrapping cloth) or can be made from other textile panels. They are machine quilted, hand-guided, using two layers of low loft polyester batting to provide added depth and dimension and a cotton backing. Sizes listed under each item are approximate. For the width, the finished panel size itself is measured--and the length is measured from the top of the tabs to the bottom of the panel.
