Yoritomo is said to have sent Hatakeyama Shigetada to order Watanabe Mondo,[3] a master craftsman in the area,[4] to enshrine the spirits of the brothers in 1197.

It states that Yoritomo ordered Niwa Yoshitaka to make statues of the Soga brothers.

This history, whose date of production is unknown, titled "Soga Hachiman-gū Enki," is still extant.

[1] According to Soga Hachiman-gū Enki, Yoritomo ordered the shrine to be built by Okabe Yasutsuna.

[3] The shrine is currently located in the Kamiide section, but until the Edo period, it belonged to Kariyado village.
