Matoba Shrine - Tottori

Although it is hard to find in a residential area, it is a historical shrine where the Buddhist heaven is celebrated. Please note that there is no parking lot.

As usual, I stopped by during the walk. 20200221 This is the first visit to Reiwa 2nd year. The appearance of welcoming the new year is floating throughout the precincts and near the hall of worship. I joined hands with gratitude for the happy days of this year. I've heard that Matoba had a hunting ground for the Ikeda clan, the lord of the Edo period. In addition, the origin of the place name of Matoba comes from the fact that the Shinto ritual of Kurata Hachimangu and the Yabusame event were held in this place. To summarize the score posted on "Matoba Shrine", it says "It was erected in this area in the Edo period with the spirit of Benzaiten near Lake Biwa in Omi." I strongly felt that (the hunting ground) and (the samurai's mind and body training Yabusame) were connected. In addition, the memorial service for those who have died in the war is enshrined as "Matoba Gokoku Shrine". ? "Matoba Shrine" is a graceful and simple shrine ⛩️. It seems that the precincts of ⛩️ are likely to be driven away by the wave of development, but regardless of whether it is wide or narrow, "Matoba Shrine" will continue to be a guardian shrine. There are several sheets of paper piled up on the table next to the hall of worship, and is it from the beginning of the construction on the paper so that it will not fly away in the wind? An old rusty (lock) sits as a weight.
