Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)

History

According to legend, in 901 CE (Engi 1), when Sugawara no Michizane landed in Onomichi, he was welcomed by the local people. In gratitude, he tore off the sleeve of his robe, drew a portrait of himself on it, and gave it to them. Based on this tradition, a small shrine was built during the Enkyu period to enshrine this sleeve as the 'Mikata no Mizue' (Shadow of the Sleeve), marking the founding of the shrine. Until the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it was managed as a subsidiary temple of Oyamazaji.
