Kanpei-sha

In 1871, the Kanpei-sha (官幣社) identified the hierarchy of government-supported shrines most closely associated with the Imperial family.[4] The kampeisha were shrines venerated by the imperial family. This category encompasses those sanctuaries enshrining emperors, imperial family members, or meritorious retainers of the Imperial family.[5] Up through 1940, the mid-range of Imperial shrines or Kanpei-chūsha (官幣中社) included the shrine; and it was then known as Shiramine-gū[6] In 1940, Shiramine's status was changed to Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社), which is the highest rank; and since then, it has been known as Shiramine jingū.[7]
