Hiroo Inari-jinja Shrine - Minato City

I met Kurai Tamashii once. A bold and breeze-like dragon god welcomes you ??✨ I have been very grateful to you for about 6 years. Thank you for your continued support ✨

Yuichi Takahashi I saw a dragon ceiling painting that I drew when I was 20 years old. Even for me, who is not familiar with painting, I felt that the dragon was powerful and powerful.

Built during the Keicho period in the early Edo period. A large construction was carried out during the Meiwa period in the middle of the Edo period, but many of the buildings in the precincts were destroyed by the blue forest fire that occurred in the second year of Koka in the latter half of the Edo period. It is estimated that the current hall of worship was rebuilt in the 4th year of Koka. On the ceiling is a picture of Yuichi Takahashi (a painter of the Kano school, later reputed to be Japan's first Western-style painter), who was unknown at the time. A tangible cultural property designated by Minato Ward. It says "Aikawa Takatsune Fujiwara's painting", but this is Takahashi's Masago (like a pen name). If you tell the office that you want to observe the ceiling painting, you will get permission in two replies, "Please take off your shoes." Inside the hall of worship, there were exhibits of drums dedicated to the 15th year of the Taisho era, rubbing books taken from the pillars of the old torii gate, huge wooden swords, and something with old nails. Outside the hall of worship. Two foxes are engraved on the crotch, which is also wonderful. The two grain on the face of the fox's half is just an eyeball, and it looks as if it were a crazy Kyoro-chan. In addition, two pairs of dragons turn around on the nose of the tree and are engraved as if they were glaring at the worshipers. The sacred tree in the precincts is a ginkgo, which is said to be 400 years old. The inside of the tree has been burned by the Aoyama fire mentioned earlier. In plants, the outer skin is the living part, and the so-called pith part is the dead part. For this reason, the tree grows quickly when the inside is burnt, but the risk of a fallen tree increases when a cavity is formed, so it is generally filled with a filling substance to prevent it. However, here, it seems that no special measures have been taken, and the condition is not very good. The lantern right next to the entrance to the precincts is nearly 3 meters away. The purpose of the construction is to commemorate the 2600th anniversary of the imperial era. Army General Takashi Hishikari. The stone shrine on the east side of the precincts is said to be a descendant of Fujimi Inari. Fujimi Inari here is a shrine that was enshrined near the Fujimi Palace in Azabu Oyakuen, which existed around the area until the mid-Edo period of the Shotoku era. The circumstances are unknown, but it seems that it was relocated to the precincts of Hiroo Inari Shrine for some reason. Before the war, Fujimi Inari and Hiroo Inari were confused, but it is said that a request from the German embassy revealed that they were completely different.

Yuichi Takahashi, a pioneer in the Japanese Western-style painting world who was said to be the first "Western-style painter" in Japan who learned full-scale oil painting techniques and was active from the late Edo period to the middle of the Meiji era, is famous as the last work in the world of Japanese painting. Inari Shrine ?⛩️ where "Hiroo Inari Haiden Ceiling Sumiryuzu" is in the main shrine It is a must-see because it is a rare work with the name "Kano Aikawa Takatsune" that was used when he was active in the world of Japanese painting at that time, and the number of existing works is quite small. It looks like a grandpa dragon that seems to move and is cute and overwhelming ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ It was very nice and rare to be able to climb the hall of worship and take a closer look ??? It seems that the Saegusa Settsu Moriyaki of the Hotta clan, who was originally served by the father of the painter Yuichi Takahashi, drew a picture of this dragon at the edge next to this shrine and donated it ? The picture of the dragon is designated as a designated tangible cultural property in Minato Ward ✨ ✨ The shrine is a small but splendid wooden Shinmei-zukuri ⛩️ Furthermore, it is designated as a protected tree in Minato Ward, where the slim and spiritual dignified guardian dog statue and the Aoyama fire have burned the contents of the tree, but still have green leaves. " Hiroo's "Mikamiki" is a tower that concretely expresses the belief that has been loved by the local people in the area facing the road behind the shrine and is designated as a designated tangible cultural property in Minato Ward. Don't miss the 3 Koshin Towers (with water bowl) ?? In particular, the water bowl with the design of Koshinto that you can't see or hear is impressive with few defects ??? In the early Edo period, the shrine was reportedly visited by Hidetada Tokugawa, the second shogun of the Edo Shogunate, to take a rest during hunting for hawks. Inari Shrine, which is a special place for Chitose Temple in Azabu Miyamura, was placed and was also known as Senzoji Inari, so it was also an interesting shrine ? The precincts themselves are not very large, but the spiritual test was healed with a new atmosphere ???? The aunt at the office was also very kind and kind, and I was told that you should normally go inside the hall of worship and see the picture of the dragon ???? This is my favorite shrine in Hiroo ♥ ️ ♥ ️ ♥ ️

Ssangyong Shrine that has been protecting Hiroo since the Edo period It is a shrine located in a quiet residential area of ​​Minami Azabu, behind Hiroo Towers. The address is Minami Azabu, Minato-ku, but it seems that this side was also called Hiroo in the past. The site is not so large and it is a small house without ornate decoration. The ceiling painting dragon is said to be the work of Yuichi Takahashi, a pioneer who fused Japanese painting and oil painting, around the age of 20. A dragon with a dynamic brush stroke that has withstood the war and has been preserved in its original state since its completion is depicted. It is said that there are two, but only one head can be found, I could call the office to see it, but I couldn't see it because it was always closed, and I was cleaning it today, so I showed it to me. From the second step of the stairs, it is powerful to sleep on the floor and take a picture. I was overwhelmed by the ceiling painting that continued to protect Hiroo

A shrine that can be reached within a 5-minute walk from Hiroo Station. It's small, but it's always clean and comfortable. One of my personal favorite shrines. If I have something to do near Hiroo, I just visit. And the picture of Yuichi Takahashi's dragon drawn on the ceiling of the main shrine is lively and moving, and it is very wonderful. And I think that the picture of a dragon is generally drawn a little strongly, but the dragon here has a charming expression. If you put your hands together, please take a look at the dragon's ceiling painting.

Since I worshiped decades ago. At that time, there were times when the Goshuin was painted on the ceiling. This time, I was deeply moved to see the ink painting of the dragon by Yuichi Takahashi on the ceiling of the hall of worship. Thank you for visiting our website.

Hamaya's fortune is cute. This shrine is small, but it might be a good idea to visit it. Inari also has power. And I thought that the vitality of Shinboku was amazing. It looks almost hollow, but new shoots are emerging from the side.
