What makes this shrine singular is that a substantial share of all the arms and armour designated National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties is concentrated in this one place, including pieces said to have been dedicated by Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Benkei and the Kono clan. A trace of its having drawn the faith of the Inland Sea navies and their commanders, as a god of the sea and of war.
