I have a spiritual experience in toothache. Hibiya Inari and Shiomi guardian of children and travelers
Many people have been suffering from toothache and tooth decay for a long time. In such a case, I would like to introduce two gods of toothache in Chuo-ku. It is Shiomi Jizo-son at Hibiya Inari at the foot of the Kamejima River in Hatchobori and Sumida River in Minato.
Hibiya Shrine in Nishishinbashi = Saba Inari Branch
Hibiya Inari in Hatchobori is said to have been built in the land of Hibiya, which was still an inlet when Michio Ota built Edo Castle. It is reported that when he was on the coast of Hibiya, he was also called Myojin, and opened shrine office to travelers and had generous hospitality. Also, when the plague spread, he prayed to "cut off mackerel" and seemed to have a lot of spiritual experiences in healing. Later, it was relocated to Shimbashi due to the expansion and renovation of Edo Castle, and in recent years it was relocated to its current location due to the construction of the MacArthur Road.
This is Hibiya Shrine in Nishishinbashi.
A sign with mackerel on the banner
It was relocated to Shimbashi and was separated into Hatchobori at the wish of a revered person. The old town name around here is Hibi Tanicho. By the way, one day, the character of the mackerel changed from "Tabimari" to "Saba", and it began to be worshiped as a god of caries sealing, and after cutting and healing the mackerel, it seems that the mackerel was dedicated, but now the flag Only the seal with the mackerel on the banner is just reminiscent of those days.
Shiomi Jizoson celebrates a stone statue drawn from the Sumida River in the Meiji era.
Shiomi guardian of children and travelers is guardian of children and travelers located along the Sumida River in Minato, Chuo-ku. In the Meiji era, a voice saying "I want to get out of the water" was heard from the river, and when I dred the bottom of the river, one stone statue, many human bones, teeth and tooth bones came up. Therefore, the human bones are buried in the Kaikoin of both countries, and the stone statues and teeth are built and memorialized here, and have been memorialized.
Is it because my teeth have been raised? It seems that a person suffering from toothache brought back the salt in front of the shrine and poured his mouth, and he said that he had learned to offer salt and toothpicks to thank him. I still had salt.
The origin statement states that there was a disaster such as the fall of Eitai Bridge during the Edo period, earthquakes, and plagues, indicating that human bones and teeth may belong to the victims. Although it is a little scary origin, it makes me think that the Sumida River, which flows peacefully now, has various history.
That's why it was an introduction to the god of teeth. In an era when there is no oral care as it is now, old people who suffered from tooth decay would have been hard. I would also like to go to a free dental checkup in the city.
