Summary
He is a male deity of five sons and three daughters born by vow, and is said to have been born from the ball that Amaterasu wore around her left hand.
After the death of Nobutei Deguchi, the shrine was organized by Hiroo and Hiroyo Kuwabara, priests of the Outer Shrine, and completed in 1733.
He is also said to be the same deity as the deity of Ikukunitama Shrine. He is also the deity of Ikuno Shrine in Amata County and Ikuto Shrine in Yabu County.
