In Shinto tradition it was said that the eight million gods of Japan left their shrines and congregated annually at Izumo Taisha.
Izumo-taisha's Kaguraden (神楽殿 Kagura hall) was first built in 1776 by the Senge family, Izumo Kokusō, or governor of Izumo, as a grand hall for performance of traditional rituals.
