History
It is said that the Kagihira clan, who produced mirrors from the 4th to 5th centuries, migrated to this area and established the shrine with the deity of the sacred mirror and their distant ancestors as their tutelary deities. The origin is believed to be in the 6th year of Emperor Suinin, when a mirror representing the image of the sun was cast to serve as a substitute for the enshrined Amaterasu Omikami in the imperial court, and its spirit was enshrined here. From the Edo period onward, the shrine received strong devotion from the mirror industry. During the Meiji period, the associated Shingyuji (Shrine-Temple) was abolished due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism.
