History
This shrine honors the ancient cedar tree, symbol of enduring longevity and steadfast strength. Like myself, who has lived countless centuries, these venerable trees carry wisdom accumulated through ages. The sacred power of ancient growth protects households and extends the years of devoted pilgrims.
