History
From the mountains of Uda, clear waters flow downward, blessed by this shrine dedicated to the water-dividing deity. Since ancient times, farmers have recognized that this god's fair distribution of water's blessing touches all people equally. The shrine stands as testimony to nature's impartiality and the divine principle that true abundance flows when resources are justly shared. Those who visit find themselves purified not only of physical thirst but of spiritual imbalance as well.
