京都府宇治市宇治山田に鎮座。祭神は応神(おうじん)天皇、菟道稚郎子(うじのわきいらつこ)、仁徳(にんとく)天皇。『延喜式(えんぎしき)』に「宇治神社二座」とあり、その一座である「上社(かみのやしろ)」に比定され、それが社名の由来となっている。「下社(しものやしろ)」は宇治市宇治又振(またぶり)に鎮座する若宮(離宮八幡(はちまん)、現在の宇治神社)で、1883年(明治16)に分社されたと伝える。離宮とは菟道稚郎子の旧址(きゅうし)ともいう。旧府社。例祭日は5月8日。本殿は平安後期の造営とされ、現存する最古の流造(ながれづくり)の神社建築として有名。また拝殿も鎌倉時代の遺構をよく残し、ともに国宝に指定されている。1994年(平成6)、世界遺産の文化遺産として登録された(世界文化遺産。古都京都の文化財は清水寺など17社寺・城が一括登録されている)。 [二宮正彦] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
