There are quite a few places where you know the name but never visited. One of them is "Hoju Inari Shrine", which I noticed on the way to guide the "Waku Waku Tour".

In the Edo period, Inari Shrine was one of the many things, as is known from the word "Iseya, dog droppings in Inari". In the "Toto Toshijiki" (published in 1838, 1838), "Every Kofu has a large number of shrines for Inari recommendation, and samurai have a guardian shrine for each mansion. There is no need to recommend Sangosha to one town in the city. "

Hoju Inari is also a god of Yashiki located in Edo-Yashiki in Fukamizo, feudal lord Shigemasa Itakura. It is written in this way. "Hoju Inari Shrine was enshrined deity in 1615 as a god of safety fire protection in the house in Edo mansion of Shigemasa Itakuranai, the lord of Fukamizo, Mikawa country. Then, it was transferred to the castle owner Kamei family in Tsuwano, Iwami no Kuni in 1760. " Shigemasa Itakura is the second son of Katsushige Itakura, famous as Kyoto Shojidai, and is dispatched from the Shogunate to suppress the Shimabara rebellion, but he attacked Hara Castle and boiled his business was known as wisdom Izu. I heard that Nobutsuna Matsudaira was newly dispatched as a general general, and he was ashamed to arrive before the total treatment.

His father, Katsushige Itakura, and his brother Shigemune, have been a parent and child for more than 50 years, and have been known as the Meishojidai until later generations. When I read this story before, I thought it was a tragedy that was crushed by "the pressure between too good parents and siblings", but the second son Shigemasa also seemed to be an excellent warrior.

Shigemasa's descendants continued as Fukushima feudal lord until the end of the Tokugawa period.
