*''Japanese'': 招魂社 ''(shoukonsha)''
''Shôkonsha'' are sanctuaries established to enshrine the war dead, particularly those who died in the service of the Imperial nation. The two most prominent such [[Shinto shrines|shrines]] in Japan are [[Yasukuni Shrine]] in [[Tokyo]], and [[Ryozen Gokoku Shrine|Ryôzen Gokoku Shrine]] in [[Kyoto]], but around 105 officially-recognized ''shôkonsha'' were established in [[1865]]-[[1870]] alone, and over 150 remain active or at least extant today.
