There's also a lore in Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine that it was originated from the dance performed by the inhabitants wearing umbrellas, of Shichidohama (located in present day in Sakai City) when welcoming Empress Jingu's return, and Sumiyoshi-odori (Sumiyoshi Dance) carried on this tradition.
また、住吉大社には、神功皇后帰還の時、出迎えた、現在堺市にある七道駅浜の住人が、傘を被って踊ったものが起源であり、住吉踊りはこの伝統を継承している、との伝承がある。
