May 5th is Children's Day. It was designated as a national holiday in 1948 (1948) as a "day to value the child's personality, measure the happiness of the child, and thank the mother." . In the Edo period, the infant mortality rate was high at 20-25%. Famous as a child, the eleventh family, is blessed with 52 children, but 25 of them have died. It is said that both the shoguns and the common people wish for the healthy growth of children, so it is said that Yazaemon, the town master, enshrined the Inari of a child-raising prayer in Edo Castle in the middle of the Edo period as a guardian principal in the town. It is located in a slightly hard-to-understand alley, but three people visited during the 2-3 minutes of taking the picture! !
"Tsukuda Tendai guardian of children and travelers" is also in the alley. "Myoun Yamato Nao, who was said to be Jizo Hioka, applied for the construction of 84,000 stone guardian of children and travelers, and worshiped the guardian of children and travelers depicted by Sutokuin Shrine. "I gave it to believers all over the country," said guardian of children and travelers. It is rare that it is engraved on a flat natural stone with the inscription "Tendai Kurahioka Myoun" in the form of "Jizo Bodhisattva" "a jewel on the right and shakujo on the left".
The GW is approaching the end, and the weather continues so pleasant that the expression of the moon appears unintentionally as "May when the wind is fragrant". Why don't you visit the "Children's Guardian God" who has been praying for the healthy growth of children since the Edo period?
