A group of well-loved shrines, with branches all across Japan, are affectionately known by the nickname of Tenjin-sama. These shrines are dedicated to the remarkable ninth century politician and scholar Sugawara Michizane, who was posthumously deified under the name of Tenjin. We visit a number of these shrines where Tenjin is venerated and loved as a symbol of learning.
