History
This shrine watching over silkworms in Tsukuba has gathered the faith of sericulture farmers since ancient times. When I visited, I witnessed many farmers praying, moved by their care for their delicate work. Even tiny silkworms, under this shrine's protection, transform into beautiful silk. Though eras change, the depth of their faith remains unbroken to this day.
