Sugawara-no-Michizane (Tenjin)
History
It is traditionally said to have been founded in 1104 CE (Choji 1) by inviting Sugawara no Michizane. In ancient times, it was also known as Ebara-yama Tenmangu (Ebara Mountain Tenjin Grand Shrine). Enshrined as a guardian deity for the warrior class to suppress the Kimon of the Kamakura Shogunate, it was revered alongside Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (Tsurugaoka Hachiman Grand Shrine). It received the patronage of successive shogunal families and powerful figures such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was maintained as a shrine under the shogunate's reverence.
