文化的背景
Suga shrines are typically associated with Susanoo-no-Mikoto's legendary battle against the eight-headed, eight-tailed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi. The name 'Suga' comes from the place where Susanoo built his palace after slaying the monster, making these shrines symbols of triumph over evil and chaos.
