This year is the year of the dog! Speaking of the dog, it is a prayer for safe delivery.

Don't your dog become a guard dog?

I came to my home at this year's New Year's party.

It was the beginning that Suitengu Shrine was separated from Suitengu in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which is said to have benefit from safe delivery since the Edo period, and was recommended to the Arima family in Mita. (It is said that dogs have a light birth.)

 

In the Meiji era (1872), Suitengu was transferred to the local area (Ningyocho).

 

In the Edo period, Arima Kurume feudal lord returned home with a dog during sankin kotai.

 

 There was a Saigo Takamori mansion in Ningyocho, where he kept a dog to hunt rabbits. Satsuma Rebellion also carries a dog.

The dog that survived the war was captured and handed over to his younger brother Tsugumichi Saigo.

The former site of Saigo Yashiki is Nihonbashi Elementary School. Please drop in when you visit Suitengu.

 

 

 

If you look closely, there is a big hit that the earth shakes?

 DSCN0551 (3). JPGThe photo was produced by the same author as the Peace Memorial Statue in Nagasaki City.

 

It is located in Sukiyabashi Park as a memorial tower for the 10th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

 

It seems that the nameplate of the pedestal says, "Continent preparations for unexpected earthquakes."

 

It's a word to keep in mind!

 

It's right next to the lottery counter. Please take a look when you buy a lottery ticket.
