*''Established: [[1018]]''
*''Japanese'': 霊光殿天満宮 ''(reikouden tenmanguu)''
Reikôden Tenmangû is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Kyoto]] enshrining both [[Sugawara no Michizane]] (aka Tenjin, god of calligraphy and scholarship) and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], first [[shogun]] of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]. The shrine was first established in [[1018]] in [[Kawachi province]], by a sixth-generation descendant of Michizane. At the time of the [[Mongol invasions]] in [[1274]] & [[1281]], [[Emperor Go-Uda]] prayed here for their defeat.
The shrine lost its territory during the [[Onin War|Ônin War]] ([[1467]]-[[1477]]) which ravaged Kyoto, and so it was moved to within the grounds of the temple of [[Toji|Tôji]].
Tokugawa Ieyasu revered the shrine, praying here, and working to help revive the family of priests associated with the shrine. In [[1636]], after his death, he came to be enshrined here (as well as at countless other locations). The shrine returned to this site in [[1761]], and new shrine buildings were built, after the family of shrine priests associated with the shrine was revived. The current buildings are those moved here in [[1872]] from a [[Konoe family]] private shrine.
