History
The circumstances of its founding are unknown, but one theory suggests that during the Kamakura period, Kudo Yumune, while en route to the Oshu Campaign alongside Minamoto no Yoritomo, enshrined the deities of Kasuga Taisha (Kasuga Grand Shrine), the ancestral clan shrine of his forebears, to pray for victory in battle. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, the shrine, formerly known as 'Ju-Rasetsu-nyo-sha (Shrine of the Ten Rakshasi Women),' had previously served as a center for Buddhist protection and the worship of child care.
