Nogi Shrine (乃木神社, Nogi-jinja) was established on November 1, 1923[1] and dedicated to General Nogi Maresuke (63) and his wife Nogi Shizuko (53) after their death on September 13, 1912. The Tokyo Mayor, Baron Yoshio Sakatani, took the initiative to organise the Chūō Nogi Kai (Central Nogi Association) to build a shrine to the couple within their residence.[1] It is located in Tokyo, Japan. | ||||||
