"Hachiman Gudokun" (Exegesis of Hachimanshin [God of War] Legends for the Ignorant and Children) described that on November 11, 1274, in the Bunei War, Hachimangu sub-shrine in Tsushima Province bursted into flames, and people were frightened that it would be burned down, but it was an illusion.
『八幡愚童訓』によると、文永11年（1274年）の文永の役で、10月5日に対馬国府の八幡宮仮殿からおびただしい炎が上がり、人々が焼け失せるかと驚いたがそれは幻であった。
