■Why the "oshimen" shrine and the relationship with your "guesses

Isahaya Jinja Shrine was a shrine named "Shimengu" (Shrine of the Four-faced God) for more than 1,000 years from its construction in the Nara period (710-794) to the Meiji period (1868-1912), and was dedicated to the guardian deities of Kyushu.

Since the time when the shrine name was "Shimengu", it has been called "Oshimen-san" as a nickname, and even after the company name was changed to Isahaya Jinja Shrine, it is still affectionately called "Oshimen-san" by the local people.

Now that the term "oshimensan" has become popular and the culture of "oshimen" has spread widely, the nickname "oshimen-san" has taken on new connotations and affinities.

The words "oshimen" and "oshimensan" resonate with each other, and this amulet is a "oshimamori" with a blessing to connect you with your "oshimen".

■To all of you who enjoy "Oshikatsu", we would like to express our deepest gratitude for your support.

The nickname "Oshimen-san" is not just a play on words, but a symbol of history and people's feelings. By holding this amulet, you will not only have a connection with your guess, but you will also have an opportunity to come into contact with ancient Japanese culture and traditions.

As a place where the old and the new intersect and where tradition and modernity are connected, Isahaya Jinja Shrine offers blessings to the new culture of today, "Oshikatsu.

Oshimen-san's "Ohimamori" is a talisman that not only deepens your connection with Oshi-katsu, but also leads to your own happiness, health, and peace of mind.
