Katori Shrine - Kita City

Katori Shrine is on the right side when viewed from the Jujo side. A similar view opens from the shrine.

There is a parking lot (for approximately 3 cars). You can get a red stamp at the office (a stamp except the date). There was no ladle in the sewage house and no water. There was a rock stone.

I don't know what kind of merit it has, but it's in the neighborhood, so I went there. I have to climb the stairs, so if I become an old woman and my legs are weak, I will not be able to go. I lost my job in Corona and now I am on welfare, so I have been praying for a new job. If it works, I will write it here again.

Stray cats (local cats) who are not afraid of people are settled in the precincts of the shrine, and kittens etc come in and request play. There are times when cats become elementary and junior high school students when kittens become adult cats. At the shrine precinct, there was a cat who came to play among adult cats staring at me like a fish. Not a kitten, but a cat like an elementary school human who was not an adult cat. When I left for a while after playing for a while, I took a picture of what I saw off beside the fence and made it a spray painting. Inazuki Katori Shrine on the Inazuki Plateau in Akabane is the guardian of this area. (Photo) There was a large Kamegaike pond nearby at an old shrine, and a river was flowing under the cliff. It is said to be called Inazuki because rice flowed into the river and stopped. There is an old guardian dog at the entrance, but for some reason why the guardian dog of "A-un" has both open mouths and why it is a guardian dog of "A-a". (Photo) The cat is sunning without worrying even when approaching. (Photo) Cats gathered out of nowhere. A cat came out at the arrow in the back and started grooming. (Photo) There are also black cats on the terrace below this cliff. (Photo) Is it a cat because I'm just sleeping?

It is about 10 minutes on foot from Akabane Station, on a good hill with a good view. The gods of the gods are the main gods of Tsutsumi (Futsunashi no Kami), Oyama Kui god (Oyama Kumino no Kami), and Takemita no Kami (Take Minakata no Kami) that appear in Japanese mythology. A bulletin board on "Katori Shrine Main Hall" and "Rikiseki in Inazuki Village" has been set up on the precincts, and is explained as follows. `` Katori Shrine Main Hall The main hall of Katori Shrine is enshrined in a main shroud located behind the shrine located on the east side of the precincts. The roof is persimmon-roofed, with a reddish Sanmasha style. The base is set on the stone belly, and a shrine of about 10 feet in height and about 8.3 feet in depth is built on it. Katori Shrine is the main god of Tsutsumi, Oyamakui, and Ken-no-Kamikata. The New Edition of Musashi Fudoki wrote, "It is the guardian of the village, and the stone of the length of two shaku and six inches is made into a god." Inazuki-mura was described as "God's territory" in the book of the middle of the seventeenth century ("Musashida-en-sho") and belonged to Kanei-ji temple territory of Higashieizan. It is also said that Kaiyama Seishin-in Nishou of Hoshinji Temple (Akabanishi 2-chome), which has a close relationship with the Company, was the younger brother of Nankobo Tenkai who was also deeply involved in the construction of Toshogu Shrine. For this reason, the main hall of Katori Shrine has long been believed to have been a renovation of the main hall of Ueno Toshogu Shrine to the people who live near it. The main shrine of Ueno Toshogu Shrine was built by Takatora Todo (the first feudal lord of the Tsu clan) when the Tokugawa Shogunate built Toeizan Kaneiji Temple. It is known that it was completed on 27). " "Power of Inazuki Village The seven stones here are power stones that are engraved with "stones". From the late Edo period to the Meiji era, in Inazuki Village, when the equinox of spring passed, there was some free time for agricultural work, so the young people who were proud of the village's power were located on the grounds of Katori Shrine, the guardian of the village. Gathered together, and made a force comparison with stones such as "Sashiage". Five of the seven strength stones are carved in weight. There are nineteen meshes (approximately 71 kilograms) even for light ones, and fifty-five meshes (approx. 206 kilograms) for heavy ones. Also, the six stones are engraved with the name "Romegoro Ogawa". Rugoro is a member of the Ogawa family of Nekoya near the site of Ichirizuka, Inazuki Village. He is said to have been strong and worked as a village sumo Ozeki. The name can be seen in the volunteer names of the "Russian Monument for Russo-Japanese War", erected in May of the Meiji Thirty-Six Years (Issue 6), beside the stone torii gate. He died at the age of 51 on June 13 in the Meiji forty (19). The power stone was stored in the Ogawa family, but it was dedicated to Katori Shrine around 1965, and continues to this day. Power stones were used in stone occupations to lift them up in sacred rituals and other gods, and later became tools for comparing the strength of young people. This power stone is a valuable cultural property that shows the customs and customs of Inazuki Village. "

It was a shrine that conveys the damage of air strikes to the precincts. First, on the back side of the reconstruction monument inscribed in September 1960 on the side of the shrine office, "The bombing met on August 10th, five days before the end of the war, and the torii, kagura hall, and shrine affairs. The place and facilities in the precincts were destroyed. In addition, the inner and worship halls were wrecked * ". In fact, bomb marks can be seen on the white stone pillars in front of the shrine office, destroyed torii gates are piled up on the left side of the shrine, and there is a stone monument on the right side of the shrine where 80% of the whole would have been blown away. ， On the back side, you can see the marks that may have been cut by high-speed rubble and stone rubble. Personally, I was slightly shocked by the Shiraishi pillar. It appears that the exploding bomb has struck a stone, leaving behind a black soot. There is an inscription honoring Sojun Kobayashi on the right hand side after climbing the stairs. Inscription of Takeyuki October, 1898. The title is Tatsuhiko, who is 74 years old. The text is Hero Michi, and the human text is Naomasa Toda. Women's names can also be seen in the volunteer names on the back. Looking at the contents of the inscription, it seems that it was built during Kobayashi's lifetime. The following is a rough translation. "The teacher's name is Sojun. The issue is Daitoyo. Born in Furuta Village, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture, as the second son of a farmer, Sezaemon Kobayashi. did. He is said to have high academic morals, an elegant personality, and was loved by everyone. He came to Inatsuki Village in August 1869 and stayed there to teach his son. It was the villagers' wish that he became the chief priest of Hoshoji Temple in October 1874. In August 1876, he quit his job as a priest and established Kobayashi Elementary School, where he devoted himself to education. Thirty years have passed since then, and no one in the village has been under the guidance of Professor Kobayashi. I hear that the teacher was born on January 26th, 1836. He is old and healthy, and he is still working hard. Volunteers planned to build a stone monument. Then, sing to express the feeling of giving back the favor received from the teacher (hereinafter, Chinese poetry abbreviation) * " There were also multiple power stones in the precincts. One is engraved with "55th kanme (about 205 kg)", but Rikiishi often says, "If you actually measure the weight, the numbers may be completely different." It is not something that can be used as a cormorant. There is information about "Rugoro Ogawa" on the information board. It is rare for a person to have a clear history of a person carved in a force stone and to be publicly informed in this way. It seems to be a historical material showing that the custom of lifting power stones continued even in the Meiji era. The main shrine of Katori Shrine is a tangible cultural property designated by Kita Ward. I came to see this, but it was not open to the public. For the time being, I will post the information I searched for. Thatched-roof Sangensha Ryumise Tanzo. The date of construction is unknown (it can be presumed that the building was built in the early Edo period because it was built in the Ryumise shelf and was not found in a rural shrine). On the local information board, "... It has long been believed that the main shrine of Katori Shrine was a relocation of the main shrine (chancel) of Ueno Toshogu to the people living in this area ..." There was. I reconsidered "Chancel ...?", But it was clear that this was a cultural property term that refers to the place, sanctuary, space, and division where the gods and Buddha live, not a paraphrase of the main shrine ("Cultural Property Term Dictionary"). 』). Since it is written in parentheses, there may be some intention. * [War Reconstruction Memorial] "August 10, 1945, World War II bombing Niyori Torii Kaguraden shrine office precincts facilities destroyed and Biokuden worship hall wrecked ..."

Part of a small-diameter course with rice. If you come from Nomazaka, you have to turn left at a steep angle, so you may not notice it. The stairs on the approach are narrow, but the atmosphere is good. When you climb all the way up, a round and cool guardian dog will welcome you. The precincts were not so large, but it was a calm and comfortable space. Both the hall of worship and the hall of Kagura feel good. It is rare that there is a power stone. The view is also very good. The red stamp is a stamp, but if you wish, you can also get an Eiichi-kun stamp.
