浜松藩
The Hōraisan Tōshō-gū was established by Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu as a branch of the Nikkō Tōshō-gū within the holy mountain Buddhist temple of Hōrai-ji as part of his rebuilding of the temple in 1648. Abe Tadaaki, the "daimyō" of Oshi Domain and Ōta Sukemune, "daimyō" of Hamamatsu Domain were ordered to oversee the construction. The work was not completed until 1651, during the tenure of his successor, Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, who had assigned Honda Toshinaga, "daimyō" of Yokosuka Domain and Ogasawara Tadatomo of Yoshida Domain to the task. Various other "daimyō" were invited to contribute votive stone lanterns to the shrine, and the shogunate donated the sword used by Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara to the new shrine to give it additional prestige. The shrine was repaired ten times during the course of the Tokugawa shogunate.
