Doshi Shrine - Fujioka

It is a shrine that celebrates Nomi no Sukune. There is Sumo Tsuji in the precincts.

Nogamijuku Pass The god of god is Nominojuku, and it is listed in the Ueno Kunigami Name Book as the 5th place of the master lord, Daimyoji. In the precincts, there is a city-designated historic spot of Toshi (a sumo wrestler) and a monument called “Toshi no Sakai”. Daigo Kagura is dedicated to the Spring Festival and Lion Dance is dedicated to the Autumn Festival. In addition, Hanma was revived in 2003, and Furutama was revived in 2004. (From Fujioka City HP) Nomijuku is the grandson of Niho 14th generation and the ancestor of Toshi. Become a true ancestor of Michihara Sugawara. Nihonshoki describes that Izumo's Nomijuku defeated Toma Kicking Speed, which was one of the most powerful sumo in the days of Emperor Tarin. Also, when Emperor Taruhito's empress, Hibashi Himehime, was dying, there were many people who drowned at that time, but the Emperor felt so sad that Nomi Shukutsu took the clay to make a figurine and drowned. He encouraged him to replace him and called Hijibu 100 people from Izumo to make earthen dolls and horses, which he called Minowa. For his achievements, he was assigned to the office of Tsuchibe and was given the surname of Mr. Toshibe. Emperor Mitsunari's Tenno first year (781), the Goji-no-shuku old man changed his name to the name of the land he lived in and gave him a Sugawara surname. The child of the old man is Kiyomi, the child of Kiyoko is good, and the child of righteousness is Michimasa Sugawara. (From the site "Memory of Genmatsuko") There is a Hongo Minowa kiln adjacent to the Toshi Shrine, so it was thought that during the Kofun period, the Toshibu Club, a technical group that produced Minowa and Toshiki, lived in the vicinity, and the god Nomijuku was enshrined. The The place name “Toshigo” listed in “Japanese Names” in the dictionary compiled by Gensun in the life of the midst of the Heian period (931 ~ 938), was determined to be local. The fact that it was a land pattern closely related to the earthen teacher club is supplemented. (From the site “Gunma Prefecture: History, Sightseeing, Highlights”) Sumo-dan Alley, Japan Sumo wrestling means the sumo wrestling and the place where it was done outdoors. It has not been used since the Meiji era, but before that time, the sumo wrestlers were devoted to the sumo wrestlers. A sumo wrestling is a private sumo held on roadsides and precincts. (From the approach guide board)

Sumo Tsuji is one of Japan's three biggest Tsuji. Unfortunately, that's it.

Even though there is a bale in the precincts I was surprised Also, I like the peaceful feeling

I came after a long time. It is a magnificent main shrine with a steep roof warp. The ring also has a strong presence. It's like an old burial mound.

A ring is enshrined in the precincts.

This company is said to be called "Doshi-san" locally. The Haji clan, also known as the Haji clan, is the Haji clan, a tribe with the skills to bake earthenware. This clan has an ancestor of Nomi no Sukune. When Emperor Suinin's empress died, he offered to bury earth-burned horses and dolls instead of burying the deceased in the tomb. This is said to be the beginning of Haniwa. There is also a Haniwa kiln near the shrine. Nomi no Sukune is also considered to be the god of sumo, so there is a ring like a small hill here. This ring is said to be "one of the three Tsuji in Japan". Sumo Tsuji is a place where you can wrestle outdoors, and it is like a kind of sanctuary with shimenawa stretched around it. By the way, Mitsuji in Japan is said to be Sumiyoshi Shrine in Settsu and Hakui Shrine in Noto. At the time of Emperor Suinin, there was a person in Yamato Province who was proud of his power, Taima no Kehaya. To be sure, no one can beat him in sumo. The emperor asked me that there was a powerful person named Nomi no Sukune in Izumo no Kuni, and I immediately called him to wrestle. At the end of the fierce battle, Nomi no Sukune defeated Taima no Kehaya, received compliments from the emperor, and decided to serve. From such a tradition, he seems to have come to be worshiped as the god of sumo (* ^^ *)

Former township. God of festival: Nomijuku. Creation: Unknown. Ordinary teachers usually read “haji”, but we read “doshi”. It seems to be an old shrine that is listed in the “Ueno Kunigami Name Book” as “Fifth Place Koji Myojin”. The sacred god is the grandson of Nobojuku, the grandson of Hachibe, the grandson of Tenho Nissei XIV, and is said to be the sumo god. Nomijuku-san was able to prevent the death of Emperor Taruhito by bringing in a large number of earthenware clubs from Izumo, creating various haniwas, and replacing them with drowning. Fujioka city Hongo, the seat of the town, is a land that is compared to the “Toshigo” of “Wanasho”, and there is the Hongo Minato Kiln, a nationally designated historic site, about 200m north of our company. It is said that there was a group of Toshibu, who was originally from Nomijuku Kaoru, who lived here. To the east of this area, there is the Kanryu River on the border with Saitama Prefecture, and you can see the embankment from the precincts. Along the approach, you will find a bowl-shaped sumo moat like a mound in the square on your right. "Toshi no Samurai" is an outdoor sumo wrestling platform (Tsumago), which is one of the top three in Japan. (Fujioka City Designated Historic Site) When we visited on the evening of October 20, 2019, Uchiko-san was cleaning up after the festival. I thought that the approach road was 100m long and there was a lot of sand, but when I examined it later, this day was the day of the autumn festival in October. I understood that.
