松虫塚

Will you enter the fantasy world while feeling the history?

Careful care is taken by the hands of the nearby residents.

I am always impressed with the path and management of Abe Shrine.

I want you to leave such a place because it's relaxing. It seems that it is enshrined in a place where pine bugs used to have no religious significance. This kind of place is a place where someone has thanked the god of the land and protected it free of charge. I think we should know that we can build strength by spinning that kind of history and continue to teach and teach. It may be the education that adults are required to show such attitude to children.

There was a stone monument along the wide road. At first, I thought that "pine bug" was a strange place name, but when I read the folklore about pine bugs, I was convinced. It's a noisy city now, but at that time it would have been a place where the voice of the pine bugs would suit. Below, from the stone monument. "There are many legends in Matsumushizuka from ancient times, but from the place where this place was a famous place for Matsumushi (now Suzumushi), the following story full of elegant poetry related to the sound of Matsumushi has been handed down. ◎ Two of my best friends were celebrating the sound of the pine bugs at the foot of the moon, and the one who was fascinated by the sounds of the insects died lying down on the grass while sneaking into the grass. It is said that the remaining friend was buried here crying and crying. "Kokinshu" In memory of the sound of pine bugs 《The voice of a human pine bug in the autumn field, I'm going to go with you》 ◎ It is said that the sister-in-waiting lady of Matsumushi and Suzumushi, who served Emperor Go-Toba, was impressed by the Nembutsu sect of Honen and left home, but the Matsumushi bureau ended up tying Kusuan to the end of her life. "Ashi branch boat" 《After reading the passage, the voice of Chiririn on the banks of the mound of fluffy pine bugs》 Fujiwara ◎ A beautiful woman who was said to be a master of genius and bikoto lived in this area, but lamented that the sound of the koto, which had done her secret skill overnight, did not reach the natural sound of the pine bugs It is said that it was thrown away.

He loves the sound of pine worms. 《If you have an inexhaustible heart, under the moss, the pine bug》 It is said that he died leaving the song of death poem. "

It was taken up at an elementary school learning presentation more than half a century ago. The environment around that time was a very lonely place that quietly existed in a dim alley. It's a pity that the scale has become smaller, but I feel the enthusiasm of the locals for what remained. I want this place to remain forever.

Since this place was a famous place for pine bugs, many legends about the sound of pine bugs are worshiped.

A refreshing night of the moonlight as two best friends walked along the road while listening to the sound of insects. It is said that my friend was buried here crying and crying "Kokinshu" In memory of the sound of pine bugs
