Special Talk "Oomi and Ninja" Koji Ota, Director of the Omi Institute of History
Yuji Yamada, Professor, Faculty of Humanities, Mie University, "Koko Shiga"
Speaking of Oomi, Omi merchants are famous in Shiga Prefecture and Nihonbashi.
I wondered how Oomi and Ninja were connected, and thought that they were Koga Ninja.
Koga Ninja is relatively caught with Iga Ninja, so it is a pity that it is mistakenly recognized as "Koga Ninja".
I thought, "Isn't the only one who has the impression of Koga Ninja as a villain?" "I want to know the truth about what it is actually."
Considering that the image of a ninja was created in movies, dramas, animations, etc., I was driven by the impulse to know even more true ninjas.
This time, I was thrilled to be able to understand the true ninja in the dialogue.
The recording was performed at the restaurant on the 2nd floor of Shiga antenna shop "Koko Shiga".
There, I was present as a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and had a valuable experience.
This conversation is posted on the Shiga Kenjinkai Tokyo homepage YouTube.

Please take a look.
One of the objectives is to explore the real image of Koka's proud ninja culture, historical background, and how to make use of the ninja culture to the present day.

The three Ninja Talks started lightly.
Image created by Koga Ninja and Iga Ninja!
①Where is the ninja?
It seems that ninja costumes and shurikens came out from Kabuki, which began in the Edo period.
②Exploring the creative image and real image of Koga Ninja and Iga Ninja
"Ninja Red Shadow of Masked", "Ninja Hattori-kun", "Super Hero"
"Kunoichi (female ninja)" appears depending on the social background, but "Kunoichi" does not exist in Koga.
Performing lonely ninjas, ninjas, intense training, and using various ninjutsu.
It seems that the image of a ninja is quite far from the real image even in one anime.
What is the origin of the ninja and how was the ninja born?
①Is this your first time in Prince Shotoku? －Prince Shotoku's ninja theory has also been heard.
②The historical background of how Ninja was born
●What kind of position was Koga-gun in Oomi country?
Koga Soja Yugi Shrine - shrine hall from the Warring States period remains. It seems that a historical discussion was held at this place.
Koga's topography was the same as Iga as the place of extraterritorial rights.
●Koga's "same name" and "Koka-gun Nakaso"
Koga's Middle Ages Castle Museum adhered to a shape called "Single Kuo square square earthworks" surrounded by earthworks on a side of 50m square. The same square castle was built, and "Shingu Branch" was built on a 10m earthwork.
Unravel the activities of Koga Ninja from historical materials
If there were no Koga Ninjas, there might have been no Edo period!
①Mr. Rokkaku and Ninja Koga
●And the results of the hook
He defends Oomi Rokkaku from Shogun Yoshihisa Ashikaga.
Losing authority of the Muromachi Shogunate
●Koga 53 and 21 houses
"Koga Koshinoji" In 1712, the history of 53 and 21 Koga families is written.
In 1487, the father and son of Hexagon Masayori, who rebelled against Yoshihisa Ashikaga, castle owner Koga and others were recognized for 21 military achievements, including the night defeat at Yogo no Sato during the Yoshinao camp.
Yoshinao passed away at the age of 26 due to hand injuries during the defeat.
In 1493, Yoshiyoshi Ashikaga started, and Takayori Rokkaku was in Koga Castle and joined with 53 families.
In particular, it is said that there are 21 houses that have been remarkably military service and have received a sense.
In the battle of Kannonji Castle, Yoshiharu Rokkaku, who was attacked by Nobunaga Oda, abandoned the castle and fled to Koga-gun.
②Nobunaga Oda and Ninja Koga
Avoid Nobunaga's hostile and ally.
He fights Iga in the destruction of Iga, the continuation of Koga, and the rebellion of Tensho era Iga.
③Hideyoshi Toyotomi and ninja Koga
When Hideyoshi Tenka was on the side of Tokugawa in the battle of Tokugawa, he took over Koga Ninja's knowledge and robbed the samurai status.
④Ieyasu Tokugawa and Koga Ninja
After the transformation of Honnoji, Ieyasu helped and survived the danger of death over the god-kun Iga.
Koga-gumi, who was an officer at Tokugawa shogunate, went to Edo, but some Koga Ninja refused to relocate to Kanto.
It seems that some people lived in Koga and were held by other clans as retainer (ninja and gun concentric).
The secret of Koga-style ninjutsu!
Learn from Shinobi. What should I do?
①What is Ninjutsu or Ninjutsu?
●"Kiyoyo Mabayashi" is said to be a ninjutsu book that became the basis of "Mankawa Shukai".
●"Mankawa Onion Sea" Sanada Treasure Museum Collection-Ninsho submitted to the shrine magistrate
1678 Living in Yufuna Village, Igakuni by Yasutake Kurabayashi
Volume 1 "Shinshin Hen" Without the right mind, the plot will not be fulfilled and will protect Jingi Tadanobu.
"Since you sneak, turn your way, and take a note, you will protect God and Buddha."
Three kinds of ninka are added.
In order to practice our honest minds, we ban alcohol, color, and greed.
"It is deep to have a name with the heart of the blade and the characters that can be written. I don't understand this meaning
I named it Shinobu because it is difficult to enter this path. "
Yangju is "If you show it with the wisdom of the plot, you will enter the target" and "Moro".
Practice the arts, imitation, etc. of various livelihoods, "geography and customs of countries"
What you should know about such things."
Yin technique is "sneak in the eyes of a person" "sneak in when noisy", and "the moon comes out".
It is common sense, such as sneaking in before or after sinking, and "easy to sneaking when making noisy."
"Tentoki" quotes Sonko. The good one wins regardless of the direction of good and bad luck, but ignores it
If so, brave the cowards and go on, and if there is no way to use the foolish one, sophistication.
I preach.
(Refer to Kazutoshi Fujita, a real image of Ninja Koga)
②What are the characteristics of Koga-ryu?
It seems that Takeshi Koga's secret was very good at choices and rejuvenation techniques for themselves, depending on the times and circumstances.
Koga is closer to Kyoto than Iga, and even though the influential people are depressed, Koga encountered more information and decision opportunities. Because of this kind of land, it was placed in an environment where information and wisdom needed to survive had to be nurtured.
③Learning from Ninjas
〇 How to survive
・The knowledge of state-of-the-art science (astronomy, pharmacy, medicine, psychology) at that time has been condensed into ninjutsu.
・The use of ninjutsu in the event of a disaster has also been explored.
・Ninjutsu created from the climate is a wisdom to create a sustainable society.
It's also useful.
Special product "Oomi no Tea" Shigarakicho Asamiya, Tsuchiyamacho Tongu
Oomi began when Saicho, the founder of Enryaku-ji Temple, the birthplace of Japanese tea industry, planted tea seeds brought back from China at the foot of Mt. Hiei.
Koka City in the southern part of Shiga Prefecture is one of Japan's five most famous teas.
"Asamiya tea" with high-quality fragrant and high-quality "Tsuchiyama tea" with "Kabuse tea" that covers it before picking tea leaves to increase umami and suppress astringency is thriving.
It boasts the highest production volume and cultivation area in Shiga Prefecture.
Tea is said to be good for the body, and it is also a medicine.
It may be natural that tea is connected to Koga Ninja.
The tea in the photo can be purchased at the "Koko Shiga" antenna shop Nihonbashi.

I hope you enjoy it.
I took a picture with the two instructors in commemoration.
During the two-hour dialogue, the image of Koga Ninja changed significantly.
In addition, I learned from today's story about the origin of the ninja, the definition of the ninja, and the spirit of the ninja that should be passed on to the present day.
If you are interested in this special talk "Oomi and Ninja", please look forward to the next "Special Talk of Koga Ninja".
