History | The origins of this shrine date to the Nara period, when a powerful lady-in-waiting Tachibana no Michiyo chose to venerate the deity enshrined here as a tutelary of the Tachibana clan. Michiyo’s daughters Empress Kōmyō and Queen Muro subsequently continued to worship the deity in Heijō-kyō. However, when the capital was relocated to Heian-kyō, Empress Danrin had the deity brought to its current location in what is now Kyoto. |
