I noticed that I started walking around the city of Edo, but there are many Inari shrines in the town. One such Inari is "Oman Inari" at Nihonbashi 3-chome, Chuo-ku. If you don't be careful about it at a small shrine between the Chinese restaurant "Yaesu Ohi" and "Sakaseki Izumiya", nicknamed "Yojuin-dori", you will pass by.
It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa had two regular rooms and nearly twenty concubines. Among them, the two major mothers of the Tokugawa three families, the first generation of the Kii Tokugawa family, the Yorinobu Tokugawa and the first generation of the Mito Tokugawa family, Yorifusa Tokugawa, are "Oman". In order to supply Edozume samurai class essentials, merchants lined the streets around Nihonbashi. Above all, merchants who are allowed to enter and exit the Tokugawa Gosan family flourished greatly in the scale of their business.
It is said that all of them fell after Ieyasu's death and lived in the Kii Tokugawa family as a Ujuin and mourned Ieyasu's Bodhi. It is said that Nichiren sect's strong faith made various donations to Ikegami Honmonji Temple and other places, and was an important customer for Nihonbashi merchants.
After the death of everyone, he recommended Inari to remember his virtue. Originally, it would have been "Oman Inari", but it is said that the Kii and Mito Tokugawa families were frankly "Oman Inari".
Even in the world of Heisei, "Oman Inari caretakers" have been carefully revered and worship continues. Although I am far from the Inari religion, I sometimes hear the history of Oman Inari from the landlady of Izumiya, one of the caretakers who take care of Oman Inari every day.
"Izumiya" has been operating in this area for more than 60 years, but it is said that his ancestors originally ran a sake wholesaler in a gunpowder and handled "downhill sake". Now you can enjoy famous sake from all over Japan. I am a sake enthusiast, a sake enthusiast, at an izakaya with a selection of items that even the pension generation who retired from the office worker can enter and exit with peace of mind.
