Hachiman Okami, Empress Jingu

History

According to shrine tradition, it was founded in 822 CE when a branch deity from Usa Jingu (Usa Grand Shrine) or Iseizumi Hachiman-gu (Iseizumi Hachiman Shrine) was enshrined by imperial decree. Other theories suggest its origins lie in Kukai's dream of seeing the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, or in the Takeda King moving a shrine to his residence. During the Sengoku period, Takeda Harunobu rebuilt the shrine, and during the time of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shrine's land holdings were confirmed and repairs were carried out.
