😋THE GUARDIAN OF KYŌTO'S KITCHEN🍴

Nishiki Tenmangū (錦天満宮) stands on Shinkyōgoku (新京極), at the east end of Nishiki Market (錦市場). Enshrining Tenjin (天満天神/Sugawara-no-Michizane 菅原道真 845-903), people pray here for wisdom, scholarship & prosperous business.

The shrine also goes by the names Nishiki Tenjin-sha (錦天神社), Nishiki Tenman-jinja (錦天満神社) and Nishiki-no-Tenjin-san (錦の天神さん).

The grounds preserve one of the wells so pivotal in the development of Nishiki Market (錦市場).

In early Heian times it was discovered that the area's natural spring water (known as Nishiki Water '錦の水') acted as a preservative for fish, fowl & fresh produce, and as a result countless shops congregated in the vicinity.

This is the origin of Nishiki Market.
