Behind the main god and buddha, another god and buddha is hidden. Those gods and Buddhas have a rough personality. And they are often the gods of performing arts. Matara-jin（摩多羅神）of the Tendai sect is an example of such a god and Buddha. At Matsuchiyama Shoten Shrine(待乳山聖天宮） in the Asakusa district in Tokyo and at Imamiya Ebisu Shrine(今宮戎宮)　in the Imamiya district of Imamiya in Osaka, it is customary to make a wish from behind the main hall or main hall. By doing so, it is thought that the wish will be fulfilled by the rough spiritual power of the gods and Buddha. Shikata Hachimangu Shrine（志方八幡宮） is located in the Shikata district of Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. This shrine is famous for its active performing arts. During the Edo period, Noh（能） was actively performed at this shrine. The shrine was originally located in the northern valley, but was relocated to its present location in 1492 by the lord of the area. This shrine originally enshrined Myoken(妙見：The deified god of the North Star), but when it was relocated to its current location, it became a shrine that enshrines Hachiman God. Myoken is known as the god of performing arts. The layout of this shrine is very unique. There are two small shrines diagonally behind the main shrine. The two shrines are a shrine that enshrines the god of the sun and a shrine that enshrines the god of the moon. And there is an empty area behind the main shrine. There is a door on the back of the main shrine, and there is a back gate on the fence surrounding the main shrine. The Sanko faith（三光信仰：faith for the three lights） is the fundamental faith of performing arts. In Sanko worship, we worship the god of the sun, the god of the moon, and the North Star. Myoken, the original god, is hidden in the main shrine, and it appears in the empty space behind the main shrine.
