Tsukudo Hachiman Shrine / Chikushi Hachimangu
Vestige of the old residence of Torazo Tamura, a composer
It was called "Chikushihachimagu" in Edo Era and worshiped the Emperor Ojin, the Empress Jingu, and the Emperor Chuai. It is said that it was worshiped as Hachimangu for the first time in Heian Era by an old man who received an oracle.
Later, Jikaku-Daishi invited Amida Nyorai as Honchibutsu (the original figure of the deity),
and Tomooki Uesugi, the owner of Edo castle, built the main building of the shrine.
The name chikushi
originated from the fact that the foundation of the building was made of the soil from Chikushi-Usa Hachimangu. There are "the oldest shrine gateway in Shinjuku", the monument of honor to commemorate the achievements of Torazo Tamura inside the shrine, and his old residence to the west of the shrine.
Torazo Tamura is the composer of such educational songs for school children as "Kintaro", "Urashimataro", and "Issunboshi".

- quote -
Tsukudo shrine is a institution to worship the spirit of Masakado who is the god of SAMURAI, founded in Tokyo in 940.
Masakado had ambition of gaining the independent power from the court.
Masakado tried to have Kanto (Tokyo and outskirts) gain independence, but was killed by the imperial army in 940.
His head had been displayed in Kyoto (the medieval capital of Japan).
But people in Kanto, had kept inspilated Masakado as "GUNSHIN (the divine figure of SAMURAI)".
They took the head of Masakado from the imperial court and brought to KANTO, and they began to worship Masakado's head as divine figure of SAMURAI in Tsukudo shrine in Tokyo.
Masakado, then has been still loved strongly by many in Kanto area as the devine God of SAMURAI for more than one thousand years.
