	Taira no Masakado Information
		Taira no Masakado (平将門) (?–940 C.E.) was a member of the Kammu Taira clan of Japan.
		Taira no Masakado was a powerful landowner in the Kanto region.
		Over the centuries, Masakado became something of a demigod to the locals who were impressed by his stand against the central government while at the same time felt the need to appease his malevolent spirit.

		The Taira had at first settled in the Kanto district, where they extended their influence over a wide area; but they had suffered a setback with the defeat of Taira Masakado and had finally lost their hold in the Kanto district as the result of another later uprising by Masakado's descendant Tadatsune.
		With the revitalization of the imperial family, the Taira curried favour with the retired emperors.
		Taira Masamori and his son Tadamori served as governors in several western provinces, building up their own power in the area, and aided the retired emperors' programs of temple building by erecting and endowing a number of new temples.

		Masakado shows his displeasure when, in later centuries his shrine falls into neglect, the area is ravaged by plagues and natural disasters.
		While not wishing to incur the wrath of Masakado by disturbing his body, the Tokugawas felt somewhat uncomfortable by having such a volatile and powerful spirit close by.
		Masakado is apparently appeased throughout the Edo period when his head is well maintained by a local daimyo (feudal loard) and Kanda Myojin is well patronized by the Edo government.
