Ota Dokan
Builder of Edo Castle
Age 47 at founding

In 1479, Ota Dokan invited a divided spirit from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu to create a guardian shrine for the western approach to Edo Castle. He named it 'Kamegaoka' (Turtle Hill) to complement the 'Tsuru' (Crane) of Tsurugaoka, embodying his vision of protecting Edo Castle with both crane and turtle. This reflects Dokan's urban planning philosophy of building a spiritual defense network extending beyond the castle walls.
