18th: Statue of Mrs. and Mrs. Hisashimoto of Jorinji Temple

Jorinji Temple

Jorinji Temple in Komaoka, known for the legend of the nanny Ginno, is an ancient temple of the Soto sect that was founded in 1542 (1541) by Ryotsuki Yasushi.
During the Eiroku era, the restoration of Dou was carried out by Tosamori Odagiri of Shishigaya Village, and it was called Zuiunzan Kichijoin. Then, in December 1706 (1706), this village was ruled by Sakyo Kushimoto Ryojokatsu, changed Kichijoin to Jorinji, made it a Kushimoto Bodhisho, and was opened by Jokatsu's late father Jorin. .

In the back of the main hall of Jorinji Temple, there is a monument of the Hisashi Honke generations, and in the center of it is enshrined with a bright golden statue of Amida Nyorai. On the left and right, there is a statue of Mrs. and Mrs. Masakatsu Kushimoto, each placed in the kitchen. The statue of Tsunekatsu is a priest's style in a uniform bandage, and it looks very simple. On the inner door of the kitchen, it is written as "On July 25, Kyoho Yoki, Shoryudo Chiizumi-mae Sakyo Ryodokai Jokatsu", and on the back of the statue, "5th place Shimozakyo Ryodokai Jokatsu, 73 years old graduate" There is. The statue of Mrs. Akira's age is said to have been around 60 years old with a robe on the body, and is known to have been a beautiful woman with a plump face. Inside the kitchen is Kyoho Shichimi Tora August 5th, Joshoin-den Akimitsu Sadaen's sister." As soon as his husband Tsunekatsu died, Akira-in shaved his hair and entered the Buddhist gate to call it Akimitsu Sadaen. It can be seen that he was a good faithful person.

Mrs. and Mrs. Hisashimoto

The stone pagoda of the mausoleum of the shrine is "5th place Shimo-Sakyo Ryo Tsunekatsu Shingi", so it may have been a funeral because it was named after the priesthood of Ise Grand Shrine since the ancestors of Tsunekatsu. Tsunekatsu succeeded the family in 1660 (1660), and in 1686 (1686), was appointed by the side doctor of Joken-in (Shogun Amiyoshi), and was appointed fifth-ranked Shimozakan Ryo, and since then he has been 2,000 stones by Kamasu. Did.

The graves of Hisashi Hatamoto Honke

In July 1720 (1720), on the anniversary of Tsunekatsu Ishi in July, 1720, there was an instruction from the owner Akira-in to create a new well in the middle of Terumitsuzaka, which leads to the mausoleum, and for this reason it began digging on July 5 and on the same month It was fulfilled. It is said that the well drilling was funded by donations from Akira-in Temple, so the well was named "Akira Water".

At the mausoleum on Mt. Terumitsu, the tomb of the last lord of Hisashimoto is standing at the end of successive tombs. It says, "Sorihiroin-in-denkai Kaikai, August 30, Meiji 30th, so-called name Hisashi Honjokai", and on the right side, "Asahimura Komaoka Yushi Tateyuki" and the fact that it was built by the former territory. I have. It seems that the fate of the flagship lord who lost food due to the Meiji Restoration was generally harsh, but in such a situation, the former lords built a tomb tower in memory of the former lord's virtue. You can read the depth of respect and respect.
When I thought so, I felt like a little light was shining on the wandering statue of Mrs. Hisashimoto and Mrs. Hisashimoto and his wife in the plaque behind the inner shrine of the dim main hall.
