History
Enshrined at Takatsu, the spirit of Kakimoto no Hitomaro endows words with sacred power. In the age of the Man'yoshu, countless verses of sublime beauty were composed in these very lands, their echoes still stirring souls today. Writers and scholars journeyed here seeking poetic inspiration and divine aid in their creative pursuits. Thus does this deity guard the mountains of Masuda, blessing all who seek truth through the art of language.
