History
I have shared the fate of Kiryu's textile industry, revered since ancient times as the deity overseeing industrial prosperity. The beautiful textiles created through weaving techniques are the pride of these lands, and I continue to guard their flourishing while receiving the unwavering devotion of craftspeople. Surrounded by textile factories, I remain protector of the place where artisans' dedication bears fruit yesterday and today alike.
