Regarding use of photos

It is unclear when the shrine was founded, but it is said to have begun in the late Heian period when it was enshrined at the site of what is now Kaizu Ageoyama. It flourished under the protection of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Maeda clan, the feudal lord of Kaga. In the shade of the overlapping old pines and cedars, 10 large and small shrines, centered around Tenjin Shrine, stand majestically. The deities enshrined are Sugawara no Michizane at the main shrine, Onamuchi no Mikoto at Okuwa Shrine, and Amanooshitachihiko no Mikoto at Ono Shrine. In addition, there are several other shrine buildings lined up, including Kibune Shrine, Atago Shrine, and Ebisu Shrine. Many excellent cultural assets are preserved as shrine treasures, including 8 volumes of the Lotus Sutra from the late Heian period, including the opening and closing sutras, a red seal letter from the third Tokugawa Shogun, Iemitsu, and a wooden painted votive tablet by Kano Sanraku. These will be open to the public on October 10th. Additionally, the Kaizu Rikishi Festival is held every year on April 3th.
