Iyo City Tourism and Products Association Soleillo
57 minutes ago
Hello, this is Soleyo Tourism and Products Association, Ehime Prefecture! Now, following on from Yamabuki Shrine and the legend of Goshikihime, this time let's talk about "Kamakura Shrine". When you think of "Minamoto Heigosen", names such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Taira Kiyomori immediately come to mind, but do you know who "Minamoto Noriyori" is? One of Minamoto no Yoritomo's younger brothers, who also appeared in the NHK taiga drama "13 people of Kamakura-den" broadcast in 2022 (Reiwa 4), is "Minamoto no Yoriyori". Since he was born and raised in Kama Mikuriya in Toei Province (present-day Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), he was also called Kabakaja and Kabado. Tucked away at the foot of Mt. Gyodo in Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, the tomb of Minamoto Noriyori is built at Kamakura Shrine. Noriyori played a great role for the Minamoto clan, such as defeating Kiso Yoshinaka with Minamoto Yoshitsune and leaving achievements in the pursuit of the Heike at the Battle of Dannoura, but he was suspected of rebellion due to a single careless remark and was imprisoned in the ShuZen Temple in Izu. There are various theories about his whereabouts after that, but one of them is that he fled to Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, relying on the Kono clan of Iyo. The five-ring pagoda at the foothills of the pond beside the shrine was mourned as the tomb of Noriyori, and it is the Shomyoji Temple that stands right next to it. It is written in the ancient journal that the golden Bishamon statue of Bishamon, which is said to have been carried by Noriyori, came out when the enoki tree in the Shomyoji Temple was cut down. In the Edo period, the Lords of Ozu erected a tombstone and began to enshrine Minamoto Noriyori as Kamakura Shrine. It is said that since ancient times, as a god of war, many people from distant other prefectures have visited to pray for victory. Before Shrine, I There are Natsume Soseki's phrase monument. It is the oldest Soseki phrase monument in Japan, and it is a rare phrase monument with two phrases and one stele.
