According to the temple biography, when the main hall was built, Takaji Nagai, the carpenter's master, cut one of the pillars short, and his wife Kamemai, who saw that he was deeply troubled, gave out a good idea and helped. However, it is said that Kame-woman committed suicide without waiting for the upper ridge ceremony when a woman's nachie was leaked to the public and hurt her husband's reputation. This tower was erected by Takatsugu in prayer for the happiness of Kamejo and the safety of the main hall. Every year in Senbon Shakado, 'Okame Setsubun' is held by people who admire the lucky virtue of the turtle.
