History and things to know
According to shrine tradition, in Tenpyō Shōhō 2 (750) an old man who loved white chrysanthemums named himself Ame no Futodama no Mikoto and caused clear water to spring forth, and villagers who received a letter in the hand of Empress Kōken built a shrine building. After burning in the Ōnin War it was restored, and the present shrine building was completed in Kaei 1 (1848). The Noh play “Kinsatsu,” said to be by Kan'ami, takes this founding legend as its subject.
Introduced by this site, based on materials from the shrine or temple and public bodies.
