Speaking of Shiwasu, Ako Gishi was defeated, and at Kabukiza Theater, "Kanademoto Chushingura" ... one story related to Chushingura again this year.
I think many people know that one of the forty-seven men, the grave of Shinroku Hazama, is located at Tsukiji Honganji Temple. Of the forty-six people except Kichiemon Terasaka, who disappeared after the defeat, the only one Shinroku was buried outside Sengakuji. This is due to the fact that on February 4, 1703 (1703), Shinroku's son-in-law, Matasuke Nakado, who was the retainer of the late Akimoto Tajima Mamoru, took the remains from Mohri Kaimori's house where Shinroku was cut off and buried them at Tsukiji Honganji in the Chudo family Bodaiji Temple. (A tombstone will be built at Sengakuji on the 35th with other lawyers. posthumous Buddhist name is a friend of mine.
Shinroku has joined the debate with his father, Kibei (cut at Hosokawa Echinaka Mori's House) and his brother Jiro (cut at Kenmotsu Mizuno's House), so (only the three parents and children also participated.) .) There seems to be a direction that seems to be "Why only Shinroku?", But after the stomach was transported to Sengakuji Temple with a time difference in the order of Hosokawa, Mizuno, Matsudaira Okimori, and Mori family, Nakado Masuke finally went to the Hosokawa family of Kibei and the Mizuno family of Ju Jiro, but the body was already consideredMori family. In addition, it is reported that Shinroku tied Kaneko to a spear and put it in Honganji during the withdrawal of Sengakuji from Honjo Kira's residence, and asked for a memorial service, but it will be later story.
There is only one new six ... one other. The manners on the stomach was already formal at the time, and it is natural for an interrogator to drop his neck before cutting his belly, but it is said that Shinroku's assistant cut it into one letter before he shook his sword. It seems that he was a tough brother, called his brother, who was given the spear to Kira Uenosuke and was the most involved.
The other day (the 14th), I went to the Gishi Festival at Sengakuji Temple, but there were more people than usual, so I could hardly reach the Gishi burial ground, so I gave up immediately and went to Tsukiji Honganji Temple and visited the quiet Shinroku grave.
