According to legend, this district suffered
a big flood in September, the 1st year of
Joei (1232) and the villagers took refuge
on a little bit higher place around there,
when a small shrine on a bunch of brush-woods
drifted ashore. So they worshipped the Gods
of Hachiman-Okami, Amaterasu-Okami and Kasuga-Okami
already being enshrined in the same shrine.
The Kunijima shrine was removed here in April,
the 34th year of Meiji because the origin
site was covered under the bottom of the
Yodogawa river by the reconstruction of it.
The shrine has a typical form of a sword
in the earlier time of Muromachi period (1336-1573). |
