Aoya Shrine - Ishioka

An ordinary shrine. There was no seal.

According to Ishioka City's website, "It was customary for Hitachi Kunishi to visit Kashima Shrine when he arrived from the capital. It was normal for Kunishi to go to Takashima by boat, but sailed in stormy weather. When it was impossible, he said that he made a blue shop (temporary shop) on the beach at Takahama beach, using pampas grass, macomo, and Yoshi. The explanation board set up by the Board of Education explains the relationship between Aoya Festival and Mr. Ogura, and the episode when Edo took away Mito Castle, the base of Mr. Ogura, in 1426.

The gods of the festival are Amaterasu Okami, Tianjin Hidaka Hiko Hakken Kennoya-no-ya-no-ya, and Mutsutsutsumei. When a new Kunishi arrived, it was customary to first visit Kashimasha from Takahama by a route, but if it was impossible to sail due to stormy weather, at the beach of Takahama, Susuki, Makomo, Yoshi, etc. Aoya (temporary store) It is said that he made worship and worshiped to replace worship. However, the route was cut off after Homoto's Rebellion (1156), and Ogura, a government official of the State Government at the time, built a temporary shrine with a blue flesh at Aoya Baba, north of Fuchu Castle, and dedicated eggplant melons. Then, the Jingu Haruka worship ceremony will be practiced. This is the origin of Aoya Shrine, Aoya Festival. Just north of Ishioka Elementary School (formerly known as Fuchu Castle), across the road from the Ishioka Elementary School pool, there is an open precinct with fresh greenery. In addition, the anecdote of "Episode-Mito Castle that was robbed" was written on the origin plate of the precincts. "On June 21, 1426, 16th Taira (Ohsumi) Mitsumi went to Fuchu with his family to execute the Aoya Festival, but Edo Tsubo was given this opportunity as an opportunity. On the same day, there was an incident of seizing Oto's base, Mito Castle.” This is the case where Baba (later Mito) castle was robbed by Mr. Edo and became the decisive blow for Mr. Ogura's fall. It's no use no matter how much Mitsuru Ogura says that he is a man who loves festivals Wasshoi, even though Edo, the enemy of Kawawada Castle, a few kilometers away, is aiming for a glimpse of Ishioka's festival. I was wondering, but I finally understood the situation here. For Ogura, it means that the Aoya Festival was an important national affair.
