Kenkun Shrine, also known as Takeisao Shrine, is a [[Shinto shrine]] on [[Funaoka-yama]] in [[Kyoto]], dedicated to the spirit of [[Oda Nobunaga]]. His ''[[kamon]]'' (clan crest) appears in numerous places around the shrine grounds.
The shrine was established by [[Emperor Meiji]] in [[1869]], who at that time declared Nobunaga a ''[[kami]]'' under the name Kenkun or Takeisao. The shrine was moved to its current site atop the hill in [[1875]]. Funaoka-yama had served as the marker for North in classical [[Heian-kyo|Heian-kyô]], and following the [[Honnoji Incident|Honnôji Incident]] of [[1582]], [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]], with the permission of [[Emperor Ogimachi|Emperor Ôgimachi]], established Funaoka as a gravesite for Nobunaga.
The shrine holds a number of treasures in its collection related to Nobunaga, including one of Nobunaga's suits of armor, a sword used by [[Imagawa Yoshimoto]] at the [[battle of Okehazama]], and an autographed manuscript copy of [[Ota Gyuichi|Ôta Gyûichi's]] biography of Nobunaga.
The Funaoka Festival, celebrated each year on October 19, marks the anniversary of Nobunaga's [[1568]] entry into the city.
