Keijo Shrine was a Shinto shrine made in Seoul by the Japanese Empire.[1]:139 It worshipped Kunitama Okami [2].[1]:140 among other deities..[1]:140
Initially it only worshipped Amaterasu but it later added the Three Pioneer Kami (開拓三神 Kaitaku Sanjin) Ōkunitama, Ōkuninushi, and Sukunahikona used in Japanese colonial shrines. after it was established that it wouild not become the Chosen Jingu.[1]:140
Uniquely it referred to Kunitama as Chosen Kunitama suggesting a distinctly Korean flavor, as this shrine attempted to integrate many Korean customs..[1]:140 Many locals identified "Chosen Kunitama" with Dangun. [1]:140
In 1936 the government released a memo saying that Okunitama was in fact a generic title forr any Korean deity and not Dangun. The name was also changed to Kunitama-no-Okami as a parallel to Amaterasu Omikami [1]:140 ja:京城神社
