There are many theories about the origin of Shilla Myojin, for eamples, (1) God for the coming over Korean Japanese since old times, (2) God for Otomo-suguri clan, (3) God appearing on the board of Enchin's returning ship from Tang to Japan, (4) God created to compete each other under the time of conflict between Tendai Sanmon sect and Jimon sect, (5) A simbolic God by Jang Bo-Go, but there is still a room for discussion with all these theories. Imajo·Nitta·Aketa of Shilla Myojin of enshrinement place are all mining districts, and we can see Hata clan's group community residence in the vicinity of the region. These characteristic factors are also matching to Shill Myojin, enshrined at Onjoji Temple in Otsu, so, the conclusion is that Hata clan worshipped a god of Shinra Myojin of Onjoji Temple, and MINAMOTO Yoshimitsu held his coming-of-age ceremony in front of the Shilla Myojin that is linked to Hata clan.
