Toyotomi Hideyori is said to have revered the shrine and donated a silk cloth inscribed with the four characters 'Nakajima Sosha.' During the Keicho era, Hideyori restored and protected many ancient shrines and temples around Osaka Castle, and Nakajima Sosha was among the favored. The donated silk burned along with the main hall during the 1614 Osaka Winter Campaign, but the tradition survives as evidence of the Toyotomi regime's patronage of ancient shrines around Osaka.
