The Three Sumiyoshi Deities
History
Legend holds that the shrine was founded in the 8th year of Emperor Yuryaku's reign when Sumiyoshi Oogami, who calmed a violent storm in the Hamada Strait during Empress Jingū's expedition to the Three Kingdoms of Korea, was enshrined here in accordance with a divine oracle. The deity was transferred to its current location in 1292 CE (Shōō 5). It is known as the birthplace of Sumiyoshi Shrine, being the site where Sumiyoshi Oogami was first enshrined.
