This photo of a Shinto shrine in Nara, Japan promotes the shrine and its festivals as highly valued in the Imperial Japanese heritage rankings.  

This postcard contains pre-WWII Japanese language format, read from right to left. The front text says "Kasuga Main Shrine, an Imperial Shrine of the First Rank, founded in the fourth year of Jingo-keiun (770 CE). From the east, the First Sanctuary enshrines Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto, the Second Sanctuary enshrines Futsunushi-no-Mikoto, and the Third Sanctuary enshrines Amenokoyane-no-Mikoto, and the Fourth Sanctuary enshrines Himegami—these four deities are enshrined here. The annual festival is held every year on March 13." The back says "Postcard".
