The Japanese description calls the shrine “Sugamo Tenso Shrine” (巣鴨天祖神社), while the English description uses “Otsuka Tenso Shrine,” reflecting its connection to both Otsuka and the neighboring Sugamo area.
Otsuka Tenso is the local ujigami—tutelary shrine—for four Tokyo districts: Otsuka, Sugamo, Kami-Ikebukuro, and Higashi-Ikebukuro.
