According to the editorial written on the monument, it is written as follows.

 

"This shrine was handed down as a tradition of industry for a long time since the Yasunaga era, when all the bonito wholesalers of Tsukuda Island enshrined deity was used as a guardian angel to religious service and prayed for the safety of marine transportation that satisfies the fishing and prosperity of business. As soon as the Tokyo bonito wholesaler association was established in 1887, the religion was further deepened as a guardian deity of the union, but in September 1938, when the Tokyo bonito cargo handling office was newly built in Nihonbashikobunacho, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine branch was founded on the roof and relocated to Harumi for the development of the union in March 1968. In June 1971, when the union was newly built, this was designated as a sanctuary, and a new shrine hall was built to pray for the development of the traditional industry, and to serve as a guardian deity in the Harumi district for a long time and pray for protection.
