Kameju died in [[1630]], and was given the posthumous Buddhist name Jimei-in; from this, she has come to be known affectionately in local stories as "Jimei saa". Her spirit is enshrined at [[Tsurugane Shrine]] in [[Kagoshima]], alongside many other members of the Shimazu clan; because of her supposed great beauty, many people are said to pray there, to her spirit, for beauty for themselves.
