The main deity of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is Sugawara Michizaki, the god of learning, and is the first shrine in Japan to enshrine a real person.In the Heian period, Michizane Sugawara was awarded a doctorate in essays due to his knowledge. Under his successful career, not only did Emperor Daigo promote the Minister of Right, but even his daughter married a prince. If the political relationship was very good, people would be jealous.Later, the left minister, Tokihira Fujiwara, slandered and criticized him. He was demoted to Dazaifu, Kyushu, as the commander of power. His eldest son Sugawara Takashi's four children were sentenced to exile.
