Amaterasu Seidō

The Shrine of the Lady Sun was devoted to Amaterasu, Lady Sun, located in the lands of the Moshi family. It boasted a bell tower of one-story "caged bell". Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 153
== Appearance ==
The shrine sat at the top of the Mountain of the Sun Goddess, at the end of the Path of Isawa Moshi. It had a single torii gate, with a heated cleansing pavilion carved into the white stone. There were quarters for only a single full-time priest., one half of the residence carved into the stone, and snow hid the thatched roof. It was one of the most revered locations in all of Rokugan, the place where it was said Amaterasu herself descended from the Heavens to speak with Lady Moshi, who had a vision which would lead to the creation of the Centipede Clan. The stone on which Amaterasu once trod served as the site of the Shrine of the Lady Sun, which was centered on a massive gilded statue of the goddess welcoming travelers with open arms. The statue was made from the mountain's white marble and gilded with gold, and served as a shintai. Lady Moshi and her ten sisters, each was honored with a pillar at the Shrine of the Lady Sun, the Eleven Daughters and were believed to house their spirits as they kept watch over the shrine. Celestial Realms, pp. 68-72
== Building ==
The logistics of carrying building materials up the steep Mountain of the Sun Goddess, as well as the very limited access to the summit, meant the shrine's original builders had to make some sacrifices and employ some creative methods. These included carving into the living stone of the mountain, making smaller-than usual facilities for priests and visitors, and forgoing
some niceties found in larger shrines, such as flower gardens and bell towers. Celestial Realms, p. 71
