Vue d'ensemble

Kamado Shrine sits on Mt. Homan above Dazaifu, originally established to guard against demons approaching from the northeast (kimon). The shrine exploded in popularity after fans noticed striking parallels with the anime 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba' — the protagonist's family name (Kamado) matches the shrine, the shrine's demon-warding role mirrors the story, and the checkered pattern worn by mountain ascetics here matches the hero's iconic haori coat. The modern shrine office, designed by Wonderwall, has won architectural awards.
