Taimatsuden Inari Shrine is a branch shrine of [[Fushimi Inari Shrine]], located near Shichijô Bridge in [[Kyoto]].
Established in [[948]], it was renamed Taimatsu by an imperial order in [[956]]. [[Edo period]] sources suggest that the name derives from the shrine providing torches (''taimatsu'') to accompany the ''[[mikoshi]]'' (portable shrines) of Fushimi Inari in procession, during festivals.
Originally located near the corner of Kuromon-dôri and Shio-no-kôji, the shrine was later moved to Shichijô Higashitôin, and then to its current site near Shichijô Ôhashi in [[1711]]. The shrine holds wooden sculptures of [[Emperor Tenchi]] and Prince Ôtomo ([[Emperor Kobun|Emperor Kôbun]]).
