Popular imagery sometimes also symbolizes him by statuettes of a horse carrying a cintamani on its back. The support animal or messenger of this Atago Gongen is the wild boar, the symbol of courage, strength, and perseverance. Many legends relate that warriors in difficulty have been rescued by wild boars or Atago Jizō 愛宕地蔵, which charged at their enemies, putting them to flight.”

Nakamiya-jinja Shrine was built by the lord of

The faith in Atago Gongen began to diminish due to the revision and removal of
Buddhist beliefs and ideology via the Ordinance for the Separation of Shinto and Buddhism in 1868. In the 1870s, many temples and shrines dedicated to Atago Gongen were forcibly shut down or abandoned. Nowadays, the

Atago Gongen is the name of a deity resulting from a fusion of Shinto and
Buddhist beliefs, specifically combining the worship in Mt. Atago and Shugendō beliefs. The faith in Jizō Bodhisattva is considered to be the original Buddhist belief with Izanami as its patron deity.
