A general who washed the horse

Around the border between Kaminagaya and Noba, there is a river that crosses the "Kamakurashita Road".
There is a waterfall upstream, and the waterfall pot is an affordable washing area, and travelers washed horses here, prepared themselves, and headed for Kamakura, so nobody told me, this river was called the Morai River.

One day, the nun Shogun Masako Hojo passed here to visit Komyoji Temple, a prayer place for Genji.
Then two young warriors were washing horses there.
Masako called out to her companion. "A little rest ..."
For he saw the young warriors there, and saw the late son's Yoriya and the appearance of the morning in superimposed him.

"At that time there was no way to save children and grandchildren from the fierce political struggle?"
Masako was worried about it.
Masako gently spoke to the two young warriors, saying, "Let's go to Kamakura with care."

Masako covered his mother's pain and sadness deeply, covering her mother's pain.

After that, the nun will have been visiting Komyoji for many years.
Every time I offered a variety of things to the local people, Yoriya, to be a memorial service for the morning.
Masako Nun, who was said to be a man, was only a mother when he passed the "Kamakura-shita Road".

One day, the people of the land were getting a lot of trust in Masako.
In this way, the story of "washing horses on the Morai River" came to be told even later. Whether there was a bridge or not, it is still a riddle.
Even now, near Morai Bridge, you can feel the legend of Masako Hojo and the shadow of "Kamakurashita Road".

It is a story recorded in "Old Story of Hometown Konan 50 Episode".
