History
In the mountain reaches of Tetsuta, this shrine channels raw divine power, meeting those in desperate straits with blunt, effective assistance. No gentleness here, but honest, robust aid for those facing genuine hardship. The kami understands suffering born of difficulty and responds with strength proportionate to the challenge. I respect such unvarnished compassion that meets real crisis with real power rather than consoling words alone.
