Yasui Konpiragu Shrine in Higashiyama, Kyoto, is famous as a "divorce shrine" (a shrine for severing ties). Within the shrine grounds is a stone monument called the "Enkiri En-musubi-hi" (Stone Monument for Severing and Binding Relationships), and people line up seeking its blessings. Also, this was received at the New Year. Yasui Konpiragu Shrine was originally "Fujidera," founded by Fujiwara no Kamatari in the Asuka period, and it is said to have begun with the wish for the prosperity of his family. The main deities enshrined in the main hall are Emperor Sutoku, Minamoto no Yorimasa, and Okuninushino-kami. Emperor Sutoku, who was exiled, is said to have severed all desires and performed ascetic practices at Kotohira-gu Shrine in Sanuki, which is why it has been worshipped as a place of prayer for severing ties. Emperor Sutoku, who was forced to separate from his beloved consort due to war, is said to sever all evil ties that hinder happy relationships between men and women. It is said that it cuts not only relationships between men and women, but also relationships related to human relations, as well as all evil ties that one wants to sever, such as illness, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling.
