"Midorihime" of Motoyashiki

Around 1944, when the Pacific War was intense, the large-scale house turned into a field, plowed and dug air raid shelters to evacuate due to lack of food.
I was digging a hole in Motoyashiki in Okubo. However, there was a sound of the kettle and a stone at the end of the wax, and when I dug out the stone, there were many fist-sized stones with sutras.
And a bone pot came out from under the dug stone. There was also a stone monument that seemed to have been buried indecently.
A monk who could calm the spirit was called from Kamakura.
And he set up a plate monument on the land where he was currently enshrined and buried it carefully.
According to the story of a 90-year-old grandmother who stood at that time ...
About 600 years ago, when there was a center of politics in Kyoto, when there was a center of politics in Kyoto, a princess of a clan who had a power, a man named `` Midorihime '' fell in love with a young man I did.

But before the young man could tell his feelings, the young man had left for his position in the eastern country.
Princess Midori couldn't forget the young man, and finally set out on a journey.
Once upon a time, Musashi's country was a time when it was thought to be the end of the north.
I think that the princess had arrived at Okubo.
However, when he arrived at this village, close to the country where young people live, he was sick and couldn't walk a step.
The villagers listened to the story of the princess and cared for them, but they seem to have finally disappeared.
It seems that he cut a plate monument so that he could make a Buddha without hesitation, piled a stone with a sutra on the tomb, and buried it in Negoro.
But when the monument was dug out, it would be interesting that the monk re-carved what was 1336 of the South Dynasty to the fourth year of the North Dynasty. I wonder if he was the boy of the North Dynasty in that era.
