Zōka sanshin

The Zōka sanshin (造化三神, lit. "Three deities of creation") are the three Kami of creation: The Beginning, the Present and the End. Rather than believing that these Kami were the first to emerge in Utsushiyo, it is more accurate to say that Utsushiyo itself exists by virtue of the fact that these Kami came into being.

The three shrines which serve the Zōka sanshin are what comprise the San-meike.
