A Tokyo newspaper says that when the shrine was founded about a century ago, “the wives of rich local merchants wrote prayers asking that their husbands leave their lovers and come back to them. ”
Ühes Tokyo ajalehes öeldakse, et kui see pühamu umbes sajandi eest rajati, „kirjutasid kohalike rikaste kaupmeeste naised palveid, et nende mees jätaks oma armukese ning tuleks nende juurde tagasi ”.
