"The Kamakura Shrine was erected by Emperor Meiji in 1869 to honor Prince Moriyoshi (1308-1335) who was imprisoned and killed as an act of political retribution in 1335. Before he actively helped his father lead forces against the shogun, Moriyoshi was a Buddhist monk and previously held the position of head abbot of Enryaku-ji Temple. The image shows the cave behind the main shrine hall which according to tradition is where the prince was held captive for nine months. The alternate name of this site is Ōtōnomiya Shrine."
