History
Kataoka Jinja, enshrined in the Engi Shiki rolls of antiquity. Throughout the ages I have watched over Yamato, this shrine's radiance has never dimmed. The imperial court held it in deepest reverence, and countless warrior clans sought its power to accomplish their deeds. So it remains today.
