History

It is recorded in the Engishiki (Engi-shiki) as 'Genazumori Yasuhito no Kami' and is listed as a small shrine (sho) among the Engishiki-listed shrines. There are theories interpreting it as the ancestral deity (ujigami) of the Tsugumori clan, a family that served Sumiyoshi Taisha, and other theories interpreting it as the original shrine (motomiya) of the three Sumiyoshi deities, specifically associated with the deity Ninigi-no-Mikoto. In the past, the shrine buildings were also rebuilt in conjunction with the periodic reconstruction (shikinen) of the main shrine of Sumiyoshi Taisha.
