History
I, the white fox, speak of an ancient shrine dedicated to the great war god Hachiman. In the land of Ooimata Kubo, the spirit of Emperor Ojin has protected countless warriors throughout history. It is said that samurai of the Minamoto clan made pilgrimage here, seeking not only skill in archery and battle, but strength of spirit. Even today, young people come to pray for victory in life's greatest struggles.
