History | In 768 (Jingokeiun 2), under orders from the female 48th emperor Shōtoku, Minister of the Left Fujiawara no Nagate erected four shrine buildings atop Mt. Mikasa to venerate two deities who were tutelaries of the Fujiwara clan— Takemikazuchi no Mikoto from Kashima Shrine and Futsunushi no Mikoto from Katori Shrine—and the two ancestral deities Amenokoyane no Mikoto and Hime Gami from Hiraoka Shrine. |
