History
The shrine's origins date back to 665 CE (Tenji 4), when Fujiwara no Kamatari invited a branch spirit from Katori Jingu (Katori Grand Shrine) to pray for safe travels. During the Tenkyo era, Fujiwara no Hidehito performed a prayer for victory in the campaign to subdue Taira no Masakado, offering a bow and arrow which were named 'Katsuya' (Victory Arrows). The shrine has long been revered by successive emperors, military commanders, and martial artists, who have honored the enshrined deity as a progenitor god for martial training.
