posthumously known as  Genshō Reijin, was built on the new land and merged with the existing shrine.Along with this the shrine was moved from Tsuburae to its current location in Senba. In the Edo Period, following a mispronounciation of  Gongorō the shrine came to be known as both Goryō-no-Miya and Tsubura Goryō: in the Kanbun Period (1661- 1673) the Goryō Jinja name was formally adopted-.　In 1873 it was given village shrine status and in 1884 a Bunraku Theatre opened in the shrine grounds. Named the Goryō Bunrakuza, it flourished during the golden era which Bunraku was enjoying at the time. In 1926, however, it was burnt down in a fire which also destroyed the shrine's main hall. The hall was rebuilt in 1930, only to be destroyed again in the first firebombing of the  city by the US Air Force on March 13th and 14th of 1945. It was again rebuilt in 1957.

This bronze koma-inu and its counterpart were created in 1615 by Fujiwara Masatsugu 藤原正次, who was also a swordsmith of some note.

The Enshrined Kami
Amaterasu Ōkami-aratama is the manifestation of Amaterasu  Ōkami enshrined in the Aramatsuri-no-miya auxiliary shrine of the Ise Jingū Nai-Gū.     Of interest in this context is Seoritsu-hime, one of the original kami worshipped at the shrine. She, and she is one of the gentle sex as denoted by the “hime” in her name, is something of a mystery. She appears in neither the Kojiki nor the Nihongi, but she is mentioned in a norito used in the Great Purification ceremony. She is therefore associated with purification, but there is a theory that she is in fact Amaterasu Ōkami-aratama under a different name.  Tsuburahiko and Tsuburahime, a male-female duo, were originally the guardian deities of the Tsumura district in Settsu Province.
