The results of analysis on the shrines that have living “sanken-sya” in old Tama county are as follows.
These shrines were the village shrine of the dominion that was ruled by powerful family as like Nishi-party, Yokoyama-party, and Chichibu-party in Kamakura era. And these powerful family built, repaired and conserved these shrines.
We think that the style of the main shrine as “sanken-sya-nagare-tsukuri” of these shrines was imitated the style of the main shrine of Tsuruoka-hachimangu shrine that was protected by Kamakura Shogunate, in the Middle Ages.
