History

Sumiyoshi was one of the chief Shinto shrines (ichinomiya) of the old Chikuzen Province. It serves today as one of the ichinomiya of Fukuoka Prefecture.[2] The enshrined kami are:

  • Sokotsutsunoo no mikoto (底筒男命)[1]
  • Nakatsutsunoo no mikoto (中筒男命)[1]
  • Uhatsutsunoo no mikoto (表筒男命))[1]

gollark: It turns out I actually just needed a PD controller and magic constants and it now works perfectly.
gollark: I have devised STABLE HOVER MODE. Fear it.
gollark: Impressively, TPS is still below 20 even though nobody else is online.
gollark: I mean, it's probably *technically possible*.
