Description
Kanda Myojin, a shrine located near Akihabara, Sotokanda 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan.Known as the shrine where the Kanda Festival is held. The shrine dates back to 730, when the Izumo clan settled in Shibasaki Village, Toshima County, Musashi Province, and worshipped Okonoki-no-mikoto as their ancestral deity. In 935 (Jouhei 5), the head of Taira no Masakado, who was defeated in the Taira-no-Masakado Rebellion, was taken from Kyoto and buried near the shrine, and the head mound of Masakado was revered by the Taira warlords of the eastern provinces (Kanto region). In the Kagen era (early 14th century), an epidemic broke out, and offerings were made to the deity on the grounds that he was possessed by Shomon, and in 1309 (Enkei 2), he was designated as the Soden deity of the Company. It is said that if you pray to the deity Taira no Masakado, you will win the game.
