Kōzu-gū

Kōzu-gū is a Shinto Shrine in Ōsaka, Japan. It honors Emperor Nintoku.[1][2][3][4] He was the 16th emperor. He reigned from 313 to 399. Emperor Nintoku named the area Kōzu-gū. This area is now known as Ōsaka.[2] One day, Emperor Nintoku looked at the city and he didn't see much smoke from cooking in the city. This meant the people were poor. He removed all taxes to help them. This made him very popular.[2]
