| Designated Important Cultural Properties Sanjiko is a collective designation for three buildings: Kamijinko Upper Sacred Storehouse, Nakajinko Middle Sacred Storehouse, and Shimojinko Lower Sacred Storehouse. Harnesses and costumes used in the Procession of 1,000 Samurai, a part of the Sacred Processions held in spring and fall, are kept in the storehouses. Large elephant carvings by Kano Tanyu adorn the gable of Kamijinko Storehouse. They are known as the ââ¬ÅImaginary Elephants.ââ¬Â |
