Furujiro Shrine - Sendai

Priest god Emperor Amaterasu History In the past, the current Hirose River was pouring into the sea in Fukanuma, and the basin changed every time the flood occurred, so the suffering of the inhabitants was not overwhelming. At that time, one goat lived in Gotsuya (known as an eternal saint). So, I made a request to rescue many villagers from Minamata and proceeded on my own, and said, `` If you hear the sound of my bell from the ground for 21 days, I will surely be able to achieve my desire. "I was buried. The prayer was made. The villagers pulled out the bamboo and put them in the ground and listened daily to the bells of the visitors. During the twenty-first day, the sound of the bells gradually weakened but never went away. In the fall of that year, the flow of the river changed completely and it was decided to pour over the river as it is now, and the basin that has suffered from flooding until now has become the wilderness that can be overlooked, and since then it has ended the trace of flooding The villagers build up a mound so that they will not forget the grace of the people for a long time, and also gather the gods they prayed for, then tell them that they will build a temple and devote themselves with respect. * It is a shrine built on the “Gyoninzuka”, which is said to have worshiped the prayers who prayed to save villagers from floods. In the old days, the Hirose River flowed from Kawaramachi to Nanato Village every time it was flooded, and from Fukanuma to the sea. The riverbed changed with each flood and the basin was severely damaged. One resident (student) who lived in Gotani decided to stand on the pillar to save the villagers from flood damage. “If I could hear the sound of a bell that I shook from the ground for 21 days, I would fulfill my wish.” It is said that the person went out of breath on the 21st when he pulled the bamboo knot into the ground and listened to the sound of the bell. From this year, the flood changed its way to the top of the river, and the villagers of the seven villages were saved from the flood. The villagers built up a mound in order not to forget the benefits of the people who became pillars. (From Wakabayashi's historical walk)

There used to be a small mound called Yujinzuka under the old tree in Enoki. This was dedicated to Yamabushi, which became a pillar to prevent flooding of the Hirose River. This shrine was built on a mound when this old tree died in 1975. In the olden days, it seems that this area is called Yujinzuka, and the name of Yujinzuka still remains on nearby railroad crossings. There is also an inscription at the Castle Castle Community Center. By the way, Kojo Shrine's address is Kawaramachi, and on the east side, the address of the current castle is a little further east, where the residence of Date Masamune was. From the content of the story, it was probably before the construction of the old castle!

When reading a certain document, there is a moth of a pillar who became a pillar under the old castle shrine. The documents describe that the actor became a pillar, but it seems that the actor did not become a "pillar". A pillar is a sacrifice, it sacrifices a person unrelated to a sinner and a person sacrificing a sacrifice or a person who is said to be lowly, it is done against the will of a sacrificed person. It seems that the actor believed in the power of the god Buddha who believes in believing that the actor did not sacrifice himself to seduce in the god who administers the Hirose River. I thought so because I saw this large shrine of Kogemine Shrine standing in front of this shrine. There is a record that at the same time, when the shrine was set up on the runner 's mound, the gods believed the stone of the Buddha and Buddha at the same time. Koginu Shrine is a shrine festival in Japan Taketoshi. There is a story that rough waves were overwhelmed when Japan Takeshi crossed the sea. For that reason, it is said that the wife of Japan Takefumi brother Tsutsumi went in and quiet the waves. Since then, Taketosuke Japan has been honored as a god that can control the sea, that is, a god who controls the sea. It is recorded that it became like the sea when flooding by Hirose River occurred. Did he think that he could rule over this flood with the power of Japan Takeshi? The shrine seemed to cover it rather than "company (Yashiro)". There were two stones in it. If you write without fear of mistakes One of them was engraved with a Sanskai signifying "Kansei Bodhisattva". Did people who were liberated from the flood think the governer as "Kannon?" I'm sure I put this stone on the mound, and still thought of appreciation and made a cover. The cover is not made on the mound but it is surely built to protect the mound. Another stone could not read what was written from the outside. However, it is a place to find that old people were plagued by the flood and had offered maximum worship to those who rescued from there. The current science will deny that method of the governer. But I can not deny that feeling or thought. I can imagine the thought that later generations described as a pillar. I guess there was a thought that it was "sacrifice". The surroundings of the shrine were swept away. It is still a place to gather faith.
