Deep in the village of Ten'ei, enveloped in the tranquility of primeval forests, 'Onabe Shrine' is known as the most mysterious sanctuary in the village. This is the land of 'end and hope' where the Heike clan, who disappeared from the glamorous stage, arrived entrusting their dreams of revival. The story passed down over approximately 800 years is a poignant yet intense tale of the warriors buried in the darkness of history.

■ The Memory of 'Gold and Armor' Sleeping Underground

Having been defeated in the Genpei War and escaping pursuers, the Heike clan arrived at this secluded mountain village. They made a certain decision, believing in the 'time of revival' that should someday come.

• Sealing in the Great Pot: Important armor and treasures essential for the clan's revival. It is said that they placed these in a giant pot, buried it deep underground so that no one would see it, and built a shrine on top of it.
• Origin of the Shrine's Name: This 'Great Pot' is the origin of the shrine's name. Even now, deep beneath our feet, the hidden treasures symbolizing past glory may continue to sleep quietly.
