History
Standing quietly in Yamada-sho, this shrine honors the water deity and those who pray for rain's blessing. The fox spirit knows that each raindrop carries human prayer within it. Parched earth and falling rain alike are divine manifestations. All who worship here become part of that sacred cycle.
