The Jike Site, located in Jike-machi and Yanaida-machi, Hakui City, has produced a wealth of valuable ritual implements from the Nara and Heian Periods. These include bronze mirrors, magatama, comma-shaped beads, and three-color glozed pottery, as well as pottery with Japanese characters such as “神” (god) and “宮” (shrine) written on them. Many other shrine-related facilities have also been discovered and, as an important archaeological site that allows us to learn about ancient shrines and their divine festivals, the area has been designated a National Historic Site. It is a site closely related to Noto Ichinomiya, the first-tier shrine in Noto, Keta Taisha Shrine, which is located nearby, and it is also popular as a site that tells us about Ketanokamumiya Shrine of the Nara period, where OTOMO no Yakamochi visited in 748.
By examining the Jike Site, we can explore the fundamental aspects of Hakui's history, such as why Noto Ichinomiya is located in Hakui.
