History
Standing quietly in the Zen'jouji region, this shrine has drawn the hearts of those blessed with poetic talent. Poets of old visited this sacred place and entrusted their deepest feelings to words. I have watched as many artists discovered their true paths through this shrine's spiritual influence.
