In the mid-700s, there was a political enemy who was planning to usurp the position of the emperor, but Wake no Kiyomaro, who helped him, is enshrined as the main enshrined deity.
However, by helping him, he took a grudge against his political opponent and was exiled.
On his way to the penal colony, an assassin cuts the tendon in his leg, leaving him unable to even stand.
More assassins appear, but they are saved by 300 boars that suddenly appear.
After that, the boar continued to guide me while protecting me from assassins.
On the way, after visiting Usa Hachimangu Shrine, the wild boar went off somewhere.
Legend has it that the pain in his legs miraculously healed and he was able to walk again.
