Kanda Myojin was originally a shrine dedicated to both the defeat of a 10th Century rebel and a sea god. It later became dedicated to the sons and daughters of Edo. The rebel became a kind of a folk hero after leading revolts against the emperor in Kyoto and usurping power himself. The faithful believed that his intention was to improve the welfare of the people. |
