Ako Yoshishi, why is the grave of Shinroku Hazama at Tsukiji Honganji?
Kabuki, movies, talks, Naniwabushi, anime and Chushingura have long been a favorite theme forChushingura. In addition to the main subject, it has been treated in various forms, such as "Gishi Gaiden" and "Gishi Memeiden". In addition, there are "Onna Chushingura" and "Wanwan Chushingura", and finally it has become an American movie "47Ronin".
The tomb of Nanji Akaho is located at Sengakuji Temple in Takanawa, the Bodaiji Temple of the Lord Asano family. Every December, a Gishi festival is opened at Sengakuji Temple together with Hanagakuji Temple in Banshu-Ako, and many worshipers visit it. There are 48 tombs in Sengakuji who were involved in revenge. It is said that there are no bodies in three tombs. First of all, Sanpei Kayano was able to participate in the defeat, but couldn't participate and was cut off with righteousness. Chuzaemon Yoshida's servant, Kichiemon Terasaka of Ashigaru, had never been able to finish with his stomach. There are various theories about the reason. And there are three Shinroku Hazama, who has a grave in Tsukiji Honganji.
From the Make, following Yahee Horibe, an elderly 69-year-old father, Kihee Hazama, and Kira Uenosuke, a first spear, and his brother, Jiro Ju, and his second son, Shinroku, who raised his head at the order of built-in assistant, participated in the defeat. You. My father and brother are buried at Sengakuji Temple. However, only the grave of Shinroku Hazama is located at Tsukiji Honganji Temple.
The following is written in the "Gishi Meiden" issued by Sengakuji.
Junji Nobuyoshi's room, Sumibei Shinroku Fujiwara, 24 years old
As the second son of Kihee Hazama, he was adopted by the feudal ship Fukuri Murazuemon, but if he was a person who could not join Tsuemon Ichigo, he would always be willing, leaving the house, went to Edo and went to Edo. He was a guest to Mamoru retainer's sister-in-law Nakado Masuke, but he was applauded for his help.
Here it is not mentioned why there is a tomb at Tsukiji Honganji. According to the explanation board of Peace pagoda in Honganji, created by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, "Shinroku Hazama was buried in Tsukiji Honganji by his brother-in-law Matasuke. It is unknown whether the reason for the burial was a dandandan or a will before birth. " From here, various interpretations can be made for the reason why Shinroku was buried in Tsukiji Honganji.
In the talk, on the way from Kira's house in Matsuzaka-cho to Sengakuji Temple, Shinroku, who passed in front of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, tied an oval to a spear and threw it with a request to mourn his bodhi. There is. Also, in Nobuki Hayama's "Gaen Chushingura", which I recently read, it is said that Shinroku, who jumped out of his adopted child, lived freely and became "Gaen". . Gaen (Smoke) is a daimyo fire extinguishing and is a word that is also used in the meaning of no Yorikan. It is depicted that Samurai, which was quite unusual at that time, was sparse from my father and brother. The reason for participating in the defeat is exactly the opposite of the explanation of the inscription of Sengakuji Temple, and it is said that the Gishi persuaded the membership. It is said that the son-in-law couple who loved the naughty Shinroku received the body and lowered it and buried it at Tsukiji Honganji Temple.
