The popular god of Edo, Okina Inari
The Koshien was over, and the cicada shigure became lively in the city center. I feel like this summer is coming to an end. Akinori Inari Shrine, which is adjacent to Sanno resting place of portable shrines, is enshrined with Okina Inari and Gion Inari. According to the Nihonbashi Topography Encyclopedia, Akinori Inari was said to have been recommended to the powerful concentric mansion in Minami Kayabacho during the Genroku era. It was relocated by land readjustment after the earthquake and burned down by the war, but it was rebuilt and moved to its current location. " And "Ona Inari" is also enshrined in the precincts. enshrined deity Engi is unknown, but "History of Chuo-ku" states, "It was located in former Yokkaichimachi, in the prime of Hirokoji, and was one of the most famous places near Nihonbashi."
I would like to introduce this "Ona Inari". Earlier, there was a description of "favorite god" in "Edo Festivals and Years", and I remembered that there was "Oina Inari" in it. "A trendy god is a Shinto Buddha that suddenly attracts the interest of people and receives enthusiastic religion, but whose religion disappears in a short period of time." "Ona Inari" is a statue of Okina found in the soil enshrined in a small shrine on a sunshade. At one point, a Tobi who handled Okina Inari wickedly was seriously injured, and suddenly became a god in the dying suffering and died. A friend of the Tobi saw this cleans the company grounds and dedicated a stone water basin. People feared the curse of the curse of Shinto punishment and learned about the spirituality, and the number of dedication votive offering and Ema increased, and Ishidorii and Tamagaki were built in a respectable manner. Every month's day was particularly crowded."
This is an old map of the Kaei era, but "Oina Inari" was discovered in Edobashi Hirokoji in Moto Yokkaichi, which was created as a shelter on this day.
There was a picture of Kuniyoshi, where the most popular gods of the three popular gods of 1849, Naito Shinjuku Shosenin's "Keiba" and "Oina Inari" were pulled. It was popular, wasn't it?
Would you like to take a look at it during the walk?
