<h2>神話</h2>
<p>征夷大将軍は天皇の子孫でなければならなかったことから、実質的に考察すると、我が国では主権（ここでは統治権のこと）の正統性が神話に1947年まで基づいていたと解される。</p>

<h2>神仏習合/混淆</h2>
<p>神仏習合/混淆とは、我が国固有の神祇信仰と6世紀に伝来した仏教が混淆した独自の宗教体系を指す。ただし、混淆の端緒が確認できるのは8世紀ころから。両者の関係は対等ではなく、どちらかというと仏教の方が優位。社寺は神宮司（神社に付随する仏教寺院）若しくは鎮守社（仏教寺院に付随する神社）を具備していた。例を挙げると、<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kiyojmizudera-jp" target="_blank">清水寺</a>の境内には鎮守社たる<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/jisyujinja-enmusubi-jp" target="_blank">地主神社</a>がある。ただし、両者は近接している必要はなく、<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/toji-mandala-jp" target="_blank">東寺</a>と<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/oinarisan-jp" target="_blank">伏見稲荷大社</a>の様に離れた場所にある場合もある。</p>
<p>右の混淆は明治維新に際し、統一的国家意思の形成のため、両者は立憲主義に悖るが”法律上”分離される。これに伴い廃仏毀釈が起こり、仏教寺院の仏像などの破壊が起こる。<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kiyomizudera-barrier-free-jp" target="_blank">清水寺参拝時に車いすで轟門に至るルート</a>ではこの難を逃れた石仏を目にすることができる。尚、混淆は事実上は今日でも存在する。例を挙げると、<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gion-matsuri-2018-jp" target="_blank">祇園祭</a>の趣旨たる疫病退散は八坂神社の御祭神たる素戔嗚尊からは一義的に見出すことはできない。（祇園祭は祇園御霊会が端緒であるため。詳細は以下のリンクを参照されたい）</p>

<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gionmatsuri-rekishi-jp" title="祇園祭の歴史と意味をわかりやすく解説" class="blogcard-wrap internal-blogcard-wrap a-wrap cf" target="_blank"><div class="blogcard internal-blogcard ib-left cf"><div class="blogcard-label internal-blogcard-label"><span class="fa"></span></div><figure class="blogcard-thumbnail internal-blogcard-thumbnail"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="160" height="90" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC_0169_GF-160x90.jpg" class="blogcard-thumb-image internal-blogcard-thumb-image wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC_0169_GF-160x90.jpg 160w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC_0169_GF-120x68.jpg 120w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC_0169_GF-320x180.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px" /></figure><div class="blogcard-content internal-blogcard-content"><div class="blogcard-title internal-blogcard-title">祇園祭の歴史と意味をわかりやすく解説</div><div class="blogcard-snippet internal-blogcard-snippet">祇園祭の歴史につき概観します。原形たる祇園御霊会と祭の意義、並びに平安時代から令和までの八坂神社と祇園祭の主要な変遷を完全網羅。</div></div><div class="blogcard-footer internal-blogcard-footer cf"><div class="blogcard-site internal-blogcard-site"><div class="blogcard-favicon internal-blogcard-favicon"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=https://kyotokankoyagi.com" alt="" class="blogcard-favicon-image internal-blogcard-favicon-image" width="16" height="16" /></div><div class="blogcard-domain internal-blogcard-domain">kyotokankoyagi.com</div></div><div class="blogcard-date internal-blogcard-date"><div class="blogcard-post-date internal-blogcard-post-date">2019.06.12</div></div></div></div></a>
<p>尚、神や仏はgodやdieuとは異なる概念であるので留意されたい。</p>
<h2>御霊信仰</h2>
<p>古来、自然や自然現象に神を擬制し、自然災害や飢饉などが生じると、それらは神の祟りであると考えた。8世紀頃になると、中央集権化した統治機構が整備され、その過程で政争が発生すると、これらの中で不慮の最期を遂げた人の御霊の祟りが災害や疫病等を惹起すると考えられるようになる。こうした祟りを鎮めるため、人々は御霊会を開催し、畏怖を以て祀るようになる。これを御霊信仰という。</p>
<p>日本三大御霊として、菅原道真公、平将門公、崇徳天皇が挙げられる。</p>
<p>京都では菅原道真公を祀る<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kitanotenmangu-sugawaranomichizane-jp" target="_blank">北野天満宮</a>、並びに崇徳天皇を祀る安井金毘羅宮が著名である。</p>

<h2>平安京</h2>
<p>794年から少なくとも1868年までは日本の都として機能した都城。北側の中心に大内裏を配し、朱雀大路（現在の千本通）を中心に東側が左京、西側が右京とされる。整然と碁盤目に区切られた都市が想起されるが、現実は異なったようである。右京は湿地帯であったため早々に衰退し、農地などに転用される。</p>
<p>現在の市内にある社寺などの建造物は江戸時代のものが多く、平安時代から残っているのは東寺の高床式の宝蔵（1000年頃）や醍醐寺の五重塔など少数である。また、平安時代から同じ場所にあるのは東寺（伽藍の配置は異なる）と神泉苑（当時は禁苑）である。京都御所は当時の大内裏とは違う場所にある。</p>
<h2>龍穴と四神相応</h2>
<h3>龍穴</h3>

<p>龍穴とは風水に於いて気が集まる場所を指す。</p>
<p>気というのは水のようなもので、流れるものであり、この流れを気脈と呼ぶ。この気脈が流れおちてしばらく留まる場所を明堂という。この気という力が顕在化したものが世界を構成する天とか地であるとされる。</p>
<p>これを前提とし、万物を陰と陽の二元論で把握する陰陽説、並びに木火土金水という五つの作用により森羅万象を解説するのが風水である。</p>
<p>平安京では天からの気が周囲の山を経て流れ込んできて、中心の相対的にみて窪んでいる明堂に平安京が造営された。すなわち平安京そのものが龍穴になっている。他に龍穴があるとされる場所は<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/yasaka-hatsumode-jp" target="_blank">八坂神社</a>、<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kifune-general" target="_blank">貴船神社</a>などがある。</p>

<h3>四神相応</h3>
<p>四神とは先述の風水において、東西南北に理想的な地形が配されていることをさす。</p>
<p>四神とは、天の赤道上に古代中国の星座たる二十八宿を配し、それらを東西南北の四つの方角で分けたものを天を守護する聖獣に擬制したものである。</p>
<p>各方位と神獣の関係は以下の通り</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0">
<colgroup span="4" width="85"></colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center" height="17">方位</td>
<td align="center">聖獣</td>
<td align="center">遷都時</td>
<td align="center">『作庭記』</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" height="17">東</td>
<td align="center">青龍</td>
<td align="center">北山</td>
<td align="center">鴨川</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" height="17">北</td>
<td align="center">玄武</td>
<td align="center">北山</td>
<td align="center">船岡山</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>これらの聖獣は上記にあるように、鴨川などの現実の地形に対応しているとされるが、少なくとも、遷都時にはそのような関係はない。</p>
<h2>干支</h2>
<p>干支の「<strong>干</strong>」は「十<strong>干</strong>（じっかん）」、「<strong>支</strong>」は「十二<strong>支</strong>（じゅうにし）」を意味し、暦を表す場合に用いられる。乙巳の変の「乙巳」や庚午年籍の「庚午」はそれらが起こったり制定された年（十干十二支）を指している。現代では一般的に年を表す場合に十二支が用いられます。十干と十二支の組み合わせは120通りあると考えらえるが、実際にはすべての十干と十二支が組み合わせるわけではないので、60通りしかない。これらの組み合わせが一巡することを還暦という。詳細は以下のリンクを参照されたい。</p>

<h2>ご縁・縁結び</h2>
<p>ご縁・縁結びという場合、一般的には事物の紐帯を示すが、本来は仏教の因縁生起という考えに由来している。”因”とは物事が生起する直接的な原因、”縁”とは間接的な条件、生起とはそれらにより生ずる結果を指す。一般的にこの最後の結果の部分に特化し「縁起がいい」とか「ご縁」と言及されることが多い。</p>
<p>縁結びのご利益に与りたい向きは八坂神社、地主神社（現在工事中）、隋求堂、岡崎神社、貴船神社に参拝するとよい。</p>

<h2>枯山水庭園</h2>
<p>日本の庭園は池泉、すなわち海や山や川を模しているものであるが、応仁の乱以降、土地確保の困難性、資金の不足、並びに禅宗の伝来などが相俟って、水を用いずに砂と岩で池泉を表現する小規模な庭園たる枯山水が作られるようになる。</p>

<h2>京都三大祭</h2>
<h3>葵祭</h3>
<p>5月15日に斎行される上賀茂神社と下鴨神社の例祭である。かつては賀茂祭ともよばれた。祭に関係する人が双葉葵をかけたことから、江戸時代頃から葵祭と呼ばれるようになる。欽明天皇の御世（6世紀）に国内が風水害と凶作に見舞われたところ、賀茂大神の祟りであることが判明し、これを鎮め、五穀豊穣を祈念するために始まった。応仁・文明の乱以降は何回か中断している。かつては未婚の内親王が奉仕する斎院という制度があったが、現在は斎王代が奉仕する。</p>

<h3>祇園祭</h3>
<p>7月1日から31日までの一か月間に渡り斎行される、八坂神社の例祭。東京の神田祭、大阪の天神祭と並び日本三大祭の一つ。869年の疫病の流行、天災の原因が祇園社（現在の八坂神社のこと）の御祭神たる<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gozutenno-jp" target="_blank">牛頭天王</a>の祟りであると判明したために神泉苑で斎行された御霊会が嚆矢とされる。応仁・文明の乱で中断したものの、現在まで続いている。<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/yamahoko-jp" target="_blank">山鉾巡行</a>、<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gionmatsuri-sakimatsuri-yoiyama-jp" target="_blank">前祭宵山</a>が高名であるが、祭の本義に則り最も重要なのは<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gionmatsuri-mikoshi-jp" target="_blank">神輿渡御</a>である。</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/category/japanesemythology" target="_blank">Japanese mythology</a>, Amaterasu Ohomikami (天照大神) ordered Ninigi no Mikoto (瓊瓊杵尊) to rule Ashihara Nakatsu Kuni (葦原中津国), namely Japan.

<p>When he left Takama no Hara, she gave him the Imperial Regalia of Japan: Yatano Kagami (八咫鏡), Yasaka Ni no Magatama (八尺瓊勾玉), and Kusanagi no Tsurugi (草薙剣). We call them &#8220;三種の神器(Sansyu no Shinki/ Ginki)&#8221;, or the Three Sacred Treasures. Emperors inherited them from his predecessor when he was enthroned. (There are some exceptions. I&#8217;ll show you later.)</p>

<p>The treasures are Goshintai individually. Goshintai is an object where Kami(s) stay. They used to be stored in the Imperial Court. As stated in <em>Kogo Shui</em> (古語拾遺), the historical record compiled in the 9th century, the mirror and sword were decided to be ehshrined in Ise shrine and Atsuta Jingu shrine individually In the 3rd century. At the time, Katashiro of these two treasures were made.</p>

<h2>Yata no Kagami 八咫鏡</h2>
<p>One day, discourteous behaviors of Susanoh no Mikoto (素戔嗚尊) made Amaterasu made  Ohomikami furious. She hided herself into a cave called Ame no Iwato/ Ama no Iwato and put a huge rock in front of it. She is a Kami (Shinto deity) of the sun and the world lost its light.</p>
<p>Other Kamis in Takama no Hara tried to lure Amaterasu out of the cave: They held a party. It made her curious about the circumstances outside. She moved the rock slightly. She glanced Ame no Uzume (天鈿女命) dancing indecently and heard the laughter of other Kamis. She was curious why they enjoyed it though there was no sunlight. This incident is called Iwato Gakure (岩戸隠れ).</p>
<p>She asked Ame no Uzume what was going on. She replied that they have a nobler Kami there. She opened the rock again to make sure who she was.</p>
<p>Then, two Kamis fetched a mirror hanging on a Sakaki tree and let her see it. She saw herself in the mirror and mistook herself as the Kami Ame no Uzume referred to. She tried to move the rock wider to make certain who she was.</p>
<p>All of a sudden, a Kami called Ame no Tajikarao (天手力男神) held her arm and pulled her out: The sun came back.</p>
<p>The mirror is Yatano Kagami. It was made of iron or copper. The Katashiro of them were burned into debris in 1040. It is considered that the debris is enshrined in the Imperial Palace today.</p>

<p>After Iwato Gakure, Susanoh was ousted from Takama no Hara due to his behavior. When he reached Ashihara Nakatsukuni and fought against a huge serpent with 8 heads and tails called Yamata no Orochi in order to save the life of Kushinada Hime, his future wife. When he defeated the serpent, he found a sword in one of the tails.</p>

<h2>Yasaka Ni no Magatama 八尺瓊勾玉</h2>
<p>Yasaka Ni no Magatama ornamented the Sakaki tree located near Ame no Iwato as Yata no Kagami did.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_4275_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-24264" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_4275_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="勾玉" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_4275_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_4275_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_4275_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Generally speaking, Magatama looks like this. I suppose Yasaka ni no Magatma resemble it.</p>
<h2>The legitimacy of the imperial line</h2>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4647_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12888" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4647_GF_GF-300x225.jpg" alt="高御座" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4647_GF_GF-300x225.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4647_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>The tree treasures are legitimacy of the imperial line and Emperors inherited them from his predecessor when he was enthroned.</p>
<p>There were exceptions. In 1183, Emperor Gotoba was enthroned depending only on Senji instead of the treasures because they are with Emperor Antoku. Senji has several meaning and it means a permission in this case.</p>
<p>In the 14th century, the Imperial Court was divided into the Northern one and Southern one and three emperors were enthroned without the treasures.</p>
<p>They are the exceptions in over at least 1,600 years of the history of the Imperial line.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4544_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12827" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4544_GF_GF-300x225.jpg" alt="御代替りパンフレット" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4544_GF_GF-300x225.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_4544_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>In 2019, Emperor Naruhito acceded his throne and inherited Kusanagi no Tsurugi and Yasaka ni no Magatama in Kenji Toh Shoukei no Gi ceremony and Yata no Kagami in Kashiko Dokoro Ohmae no Gi ceremony. 合掌</p>

<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0958_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30156" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0958_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="中秋の名月2026京都" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0958_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0958_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0958_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>As the old saying goes, &#8220;春は花、秋は月(The best thing to admire: <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/category/cherryblossom" target="_blank">Sakura</a> in spring and the moon in fall ),&#8221; we love to admirer the moon in fall.</p>
<p>In late September, we feel fall in the heat of the air, expecting Tsukimi (月見 Moon viewing) for Chushu no Meigetsu (中秋の名月).</p>
<p>Chushu no Meigetsu is the full moon in August in the Japanese lunar calendar. We have Syosu (初秋), Chushu (中秋), and Banshyu (晩秋). We prefer the moon of Chushu as the loveliest one to be seen: The height of the moon is perfect and the crisp and clear air helps us to admire it.</p>

<p>The moon appears as it is and infinite as if the doors of perception was clensed.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>In old days, of course even today, rituals, ceremonies, and parties took place and people love to compose poems.</p>
<p>An anonymous poet wrote, &#8220;月々に月見る月は多けれど月見る月はこの月の月(The best month to admire the moon is one in August though we can see it in every months .&#8221;</p>
<p>The court nobles imported this custom from ancient China and commoners adopted it later. For peasants, fall is a season of cultivating and they did Tsukimi prior to Matsuris to show gratitude for Shinto and Buddhist deities in fall.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, we offer the crops harvested in fall to them and the moon: Dangos (rice dumpling), Susuki plants, potatoes, edamames (young soy beans), chestnuts, persimmons, and so on.</p>

<p>The most fascinating Tsukimi is Kangetsu-e (観月会) in Daikakuji temple.</p>
<p>Daikakuji is a Buddhist temple of Shingon school and former villa of Emperor Saga (786-842). The villa has a pond called Osawa no Ike(大沢池), the oldest artificial pond in Japan. Kangetsu-e is a ritual for Gatten (月天), a guardian of Buddhism.</p>

<p>Ryuto sen has a dragon and Gekisu sen has a geki as a figurehead individually. Dragon is a deity of water and geki is an imaginary bird saves us from water-related accident.　In the days of old, they enjoyed music and landscape.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What is Hogan Biiki?</h2>
<p>Hogan Biiki (判官贔屓) is a sentiment Japanese people love and it has been passed down from generation to generation without awareness. You&#8217;ll find several instances in our cultural inheritance like literature, manga, etc.</p>
<p>The authentic meaning of Hogan Biiki is a compassion for Minamoto no Yoshitsume and it originated sympathy for those who in lower or disadvantaged standing.</p>
<p>&#8220;判官(Hogan)&#8221; is an official ranking the Imperial Court conferred on him. The word usually pronounced as &#8220;Hangan&#8221; but we say &#8220;Hogan&#8221; in the Yoshitsume&#8217;s case.</p>
<h2>The curious life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune</h2>
<h3>Vengeance for his father</h3>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6125_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30093" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6125_GF_GF-300x382.jpg" alt="源義朝" width="300" height="382" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6125_GF_GF-300x382.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6125_GF_GF-100x127.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6125_GF_GF.jpg 393w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>As stated in the previous post, Minamoto no Yoshitsune (源義経) is a historical figure belonged to the Genji (源氏) clan. His father was executed due to a conflict with the Heishi clan (平氏). Yoshitsune was sent to Kurama dera temple and his brother Yoritomo (頼朝) was sent to Izu (Shizuoka prefecture) avoiding the punishment.</p>
<p>Yoshitsune left Kurama dera and temporally stayed in Kyoto where he met Benkei. Benkei joined him and they headed for Hiraizumi (Iwate prefecture).</p>

<p>On the other hand, the Heishi clan was at the zenith of its political power. A daughter of Taira no Kiyomori, the head of the clan, marry Emperor Takakura and gave birth to a child. He launched a coup and detained the emperor and his grand son enthroned as Emperor Antoku at the age of one.</p>
<p>In 1180, Yoritomo, as the head of the Genji, raised an army against the Heishi clan and Yoshitsune served him as a General.</p>
<p>Five years later, they exterminated the Heishi clan in the battle of Dan no Ura (壇ノ浦の戦い).</p>
<p>In 1185, Yoritomo drove away Yoshitsune though he played the greatest role in the war. We can assume many reasons and the following is the critical ones:</p>
<div class="blank-box bb-tab bb-tips bb-red">
<ol>
<li>Yoshitsune was promoted to Hangan without permission of Yoritomo.</li>
<li>He lost one of the Imperial regalia.</li>
</ol>

<p>In 1184, Goshirakawa Ho-oh, the retired emperor, confirmed his official ranking 検非違使伊予守<strong>従五位</strong>下兼行<strong>左衛門少尉</strong>.</p>
<p>従五位 (Jyu Goi) is a rank of the officials and it is an aide to emperor.</p>
<p>左衛門少尉 (Sae Mon no Shojo) is the third-ranked officer of a ministry of defense of Kyoto. This rank is also called &#8220;判官 (Hangan)&#8221; but it is ronounced as &#8220;Hangan&#8221; in this case.</p>
<p>Yoritomo banned to have official ranking but Yoshitsune had it without his permission. For Yoritomo, it seemed to be a treason. He found Yoshitsune betrayed him.</p>
<h2>The Imperial regalia and the battle of Dan no Ura</h2>
<h3>The Imperial ragalia</h3>
<p>There are the three Imperial regalia:</p>
<div class="blank-box bb-tab bb-tips bb-red">
<ul>
<li>Yata no Kagami (八咫鏡)・・・Mirror</li>
<li>Yasakani no Magatama(八尺瓊勾玉)・・・Jewels</li>
<li>Ame no Murakimo no Tsurugi(天叢雲剣)・・・Sword</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>When Ninigi no Mikoto, the ancestor of Japanese emperor, left Takama no Hara, Amaterasu Ohomikami gave them to him.</p>

<p>In 1183, Yoritomo ousted the Heishi form Kyoto. The Heishi drifted away on hundreds of  boats to Dan no Ura shore. The last stand of the Heishi started. Emperor Antoku and the three Imperial regalia are on the boat in the photo with court ladies.</p>

<p>At the end of the battle, the nursing mother of the 6 years old emperor realized a defeat. She took Yasakani no Magatama and Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (and Yatano Kagami. It is not described in any historical epics but I assume she had it because the regalia is a legitimacy of the imperial throne.) and said, &#8220;Shall we go to the Jodo paradise of Amitabha (Buddhist deity). There is another capital under the waves, Your Imperial Majesty.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then she threw herself off from the ship, holding the emperor who did Gassho (合掌 The manner of Buddhism. Putting palms together.) in her arms.</p>

<p>Yasakani no Magatama was in a wooden box and a Samurais of the Genji found it floating round on the sea but they failed to spot the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi.</p>
<p>Yoshitsune was in charge of the battle and Yoritomo blamed him though he was able to win the battles without him. He was a leading figure in other battles against the Heishi.</p>

<h3>Yoritomo gave the order to execute Yoshitsune</h3>
<p>For several reasons, especially those ones, Yoritomo fond Yoshitsune &#8220;betrayed&#8221; him and gave the order to execute him. Yoshitsune headed for Hiraizumi relaying on the Fujiwara clan there.</p>
<p>In 1189, the 500 troopers of Yoritomo drove Yoshitsune&#8217;s callegues (about 15 people) into a small temple of a castle. He realized the end was near and he went into the temple with his wife and daughter. His Rotohs (those who serves someone) guarded the temple and the troopers showered thousands of arrows. Benkei was in front of the entrance and stabbed with them. He ceased to exist, standing upright. Yoshitsune slayed his wife, daughter, and himself in order to save their honor.</p>
<h2>Hogan Biiki established</h2>
<p>Yoshitsune made a great contribution to the triumph over the Heishi but he was maltreated. His tragic life and misfortune derive sympathy for those who in lower or disadvantaged standing from Japanese people. The word &#8220;Hogan Biiki&#8221; was established at least by the 17th century. We are so found of him there are several literatures and works of art, etc. The most excessive one is &#8220;Yoshitsune-Genghis Khan hypothesis:&#8221; Yoshitsune escaped narrowly to Mongol and founded the Mongol empire. It is a ridiculous idea but we want him a happy ending, I suppose. 合掌</p>

<p>Ushiwaka Maru (牛若丸) is a historical figure in the 12th century. Ushiwaka Maru is a Yomyo,  a name given to a child and he grew up to Minamoto no Yhoshitsune (源義経).</p>

<p>His father was executed due to a political conflict between the Heishi (平氏) and the Genji (源氏) clan.  Yoshitsune was sent to Kurama dera temple located in Mt. Kurama.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0381_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30068" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0381_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="鞍馬天狗" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0381_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0381_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0381_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>He learned Buddhism as an apprentice monk during the day and learned martial arts from Kurama Tengu lived the mountain during the night. Tengu is an legendary creature with a red face and a long nose. It often was fused with the Mountain worship and considered as a deity living in a mountain.</p>
<p>Ushiwaka Maru left the temple and stayed in Kyoto en route to Hiraizumi, the de facto vice capital, to apply political asylum. One night, he met Benkei.</p>
<h3>Who is Benkei?</h3>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DSC_0106_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30067" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DSC_0106_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="弁慶" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DSC_0106_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DSC_0106_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DSC_0106_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Benkei (弁慶) is also a historical figure but no one can tell who he is exactly. He is known as a hulking guy loyal to Yoshitsune but this profile was invented in <em>Gikeiki</em> (『義経記』), the chronicle of Yoshitsune and other war-tales.</p>
<p>He was an apprentice monk of Enryakuji temple in Hieizan. He was ousted from the temple due to his bad attitude and behavior. He settled down to Kyoto and planned to collect 1,000 swords there. He started attacking passers-by with swords for his aim. When he obtained 999 swords, he met Ushiwaka Maru.</p>
<h3>Where did they meet?</h3>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0681_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30072" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0681_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="五條天神" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0681_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0681_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0681_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Where did they meet? Almost anyone answer, &#8220;On Gojo Ohashi bridge&#8221; but Gikeiki describes the encounter took place near Gojo Tenjin shrine. The encounter on Gojo Ohashi is famous because of a Rokyoku (謡曲) called Hashi Benkei. Ryokyoku is a part of Noh and used to be popular.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6129_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30091" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6129_GF_GF-300x146.jpg" alt="牛若丸と弁慶" width="300" height="146" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6129_GF_GF-300x146.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6129_GF_GF-100x49.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_6129_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>One night, Benkei prayed at Gojo Tenjin shrine. He requested the 1,000th sword would be a good one. Then, he came across Ushiwaka Maru He walked playing his flute. All of a sudden, Benkei attacked him with his sword. Ushiwaka maru jumped to a nearby wall and bent his sword and threw it away to Benkei. Benkei attacked him again. Ushiwaka Maru escaped the sword: He jumping off the wall, hovered in the air and jumped over the Naginata.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0529_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30071" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0529_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="清水の舞台ライトアップ" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0529_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0529_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/IMG_0529_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>On the next day, Benkei wait him in front of the main gate of <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kiyomizuderatemple-en" target="_blank">Kiyomizudera temple</a> for revenge. Fortunately, he met Ushiwaka Maru again. This time, Benkei attacked him with his Naginata sword (A sword with long pole). The desperate battle lead them to <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kiyomizudera-stage-en" target="_blank">the stage of Kiyomizudera</a>. Benkei lose the battle and decided to be a Rotoh (郎党) of Ushiwaka Maru. Rotho is a person who serves the superior. After this, Benkei served him for the last minute of his life.</p>
<p>To be continued in <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/hogan-biiki-en" target="_blank">the next post</a>. 合掌</p>

<p>On July 28, Kyushu was struck by an earthquake. I would like to show the deepest condolences to those who affected by the disaster.</p>
<p>Gion Matsuri commenced in 869 in order to cope with the epidemics and the natural disasters happened in the archipelago.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0356_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-29953" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0356_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="ひおおうぎ" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0356_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0356_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_0356_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>On July 31, Higohgis were still in bloom,  <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/ekijinjyanagoshisai-chinowakuguri-en" target="_blank">Eki Jinjya Nagoshisai</a> took place in serenity and the chief priest of Yasaka shrine declared that Gion Matsuri of 2026 was completed. He stated that we were not able to get rid of epidemics and natural disasters though the Matsuri was accomplished, implying that all we could do it is taking precautions.</p>
<p>I suppose we prepare for the worst case scenario as Samurais were able to be ready to be face to face with it, according to Zen.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="【祇園祭2026】神輿渡御・還幸祭/ Gion Matsuri Mikoshi #shorts #祇園祭 #gionmatsuri #祭 #matsuri #京都 #kyoto #神輿" width="563" height="1000" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ExxNfDqSc8c?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gion-matsuri-festival-2018-en" target="_blank">Gion Matsuri</a> is famed for <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/yamahoko-en" target="_blank">Yamahoko parade</a> or <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gionmatsuri-sakimatsuri-yoiyama-en" target="_blank">Yoiyamas of Sakimatsuri</a> but Kanko Sai used to be the most famous ritual. Kanko Sai is a sequence of rituals still held these years and written in &#8220;還幸祭.&#8221; 還 means &#8220;come back,&#8221; 幸 means &#8220;happiness,&#8221; and 祭 means &#8220;Matsuri.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the old days, the deities on three Mikoshis left Otabisho individually and headed for Gion Sha, the Buddhist temple known as Yasaka shrine today. Yasaka shrine used to be a Buddhist temple in <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/shinbutsu-shugo-en" target="_blank">Shimbutsu Shugo</a>, the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism. They joined together at Rekken no Tsuji corner near Gokusya. Shoguns and the court nobles loved to admire the deities there. For instance, Ashikaga Yosimitsu, the third Shogun of the Ashikaga Shogunate and the founder of <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kinkakuji-general-en" target="_blank">Kinkakuji temple</a>, was very fond of showing respect to them in the seat at the corner.</p>
<p>By the late 19th century, Gion Matsuri has been held in the Japanese lunar calendar and the deities came back to Gion sha under the full moon.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="祇園祭2021速報2/Breaking Report of Gion Matsuri 2021 part 2" width="1256" height="707" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9YitWF_2D6U?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>In 2021, they came back to Yasaka shrine in the fully moonlit sky. We were in the midst of the pandemic and they were on the Himorogis on the steed&#8217;s back instead of the Mikoshis.</p>
<p>There were only a few people waited for the deities in front of the main hall. I was so exhausted that I took photos and videos all day long. In the pale moon light, I vaguely thought about how people waited them hundreds of yeas ago.</p>
<p>All I can say is that several things have changed in modern days but there are things that make us all the same. Some have gone, some remain. Worth fighting for. 合掌</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Basic ideas for Gion Matsuri</h2>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_7802.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15052" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_7802-300x199.jpg" alt="素戔嗚尊とコロナ" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_7802-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_7802-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IMG_7802.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Now July started and we are on <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gion-matsuri-festival-2018-en" target="_blank">Gion Matsuri</a> that shows us the old faiths are still alive. The first Gion Matsuri, or Gion Goryo-e, commenced in 869 in order to get rid of epidemics.</p>
<p>Before Gion Goryo-e, people thought petals of flowers bring them epidemics when they fall off in spring. This shows us the most basic and important idea to understand Gion Matsuri: The cause of epidemics existed outside of a community.</p>
<p>In the 8th century, the centralized government was established and annual <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/meaningofmatsuri-en" target="_blank">Matsuri</a> were organized. One of them is Hanashizume  no Matsuri (鎮花祭). In the Matsuri, priest Ekijin (疫神), the Kami, or Shinto deity, causes epidemics.</p>
<p>Traditionally, we find Kami behind nature and natural phenomena. And matsuri is the way to welcome them with hospitality. 祭(Matsuri) stands for a hand put a piece of meat on an altar. Ancient people thought when they do good to Kami, they also do good to them and vice versa.</p>
<h2>The faith of Goryo</h2>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/IMG_8051_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15851" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/IMG_8051_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="牛頭天王" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/IMG_8051_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/IMG_8051_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/IMG_8051_GF_GF.jpg 697w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>The establishment of the government gave rise to political conflicts. People started to consider the causes of epidemics are the grieving souls of the ousted court nobles and officials. The first Goryo-e on record is the one held in 863 in order to calm the souls of Sawara Shino, the brother of Emperor Kanmu, and others. The first Gion Goryo-e must have been held in order to ease their souls. I assume they were considered as Ekijins. This Goyo-e was held on <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/faithofgoryo-en" target="_blank">the faith of Goryo</a>.</p>
<p>In Goryo-e, priests, monks, and people &#8220;entertained&#8221; the deceased souls and &#8220;let them go away, &#8221; i.e., remove the cause of epidemics.</p>
<p>As time went on, people found the cause of epidemics is <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/gozutenno-en" target="_blank">Gozu Tennno</a>, the most famous and Ekijin. Gozu Tennno is a deity of Buddhism and Onmyodo. Onmyodo is a philosophy that decribes the world with Yin-Yang and the five elements (wood, fire, earth, gold, and water). For instance, <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/eto-en" target="_blank">Eto</a> is based on it. He is a deity from overseas and was enshrined in Gion-sha temple (known as Yasaka shrine today), located outside of Heian Kyo city.</p>
<p>And people find easier way to save their lives: Taking advantage of the enormous power of Gozutenno. They asked him to keep epidemics away from them. This concept is the faith of (Gozu) Tenno and Gion Matsuri is carried on this faith today.</p>
<p>Yasaka shrine that holds Gion Matsuri enshrines <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/mythology-iwatogakureamaterasu-en" target="_blank">Susanoh no Mikoto</a> instead of Gozu Tenno today but they had been enshrined there for over one thousand years. In 19th century, the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism were abolished &#8220;in terms of law&#8221; but as a matter of fact, it never fails the test of time and is still alive among us.合掌</p>

<p>Did you notice a crow with three legs on the uniform of Japan national foot ball team? It is Yatagarasu (八咫烏), the crow in <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/category/japanesemythology" target="_blank">Japanese mythology</a>.</p>
<p>When Kamiyamatonoiwa Arehiko no Sumera Mikoto was on the eastern expedition, it led him to Kashihara. He enthroned himself as Emperor Jinmu(神武天皇), the first emperor of Japan in 660 B.C. He is a mythological figure but we considered it is the beginning of our country. For instance, Koki(皇紀), the imperial year, commenced on the year and 2026 marks Koki 2686.</p>

<p>Due to the role in the mythology, Yatagarasu as known a deity or a symbol of guidance who lead us to good fortune. Its three legs stands for Kami (Deity of Japanese mythology), Nature, and Human individually. Japan Football Association adopted it as its symbol for victory.</p>

<p>The mythology is still alive in our mind.</p>
<p>As described in <a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/1stemperor-en" target="_blank">this post</a>, Amaterasu Ohmikami gave Ninigi no Mikoto the permission to rule Japan.</p>
<p>By Meiji restoration in the 19th century, the Imperial court and the Shogunates had co-existed for over 600 years and their legitimacy had based on the story: Every Shogun had to be a descendant of an emperor.</p>
<p>As a part of the restoration, Japan adopted a constitutional monarchy. In 1947, the constitution of Japan founded on popular sovereignty came into effect.</p>
<p>However, we still have the mythology back in our mind. We assume that it really happened. Half believe, half doubt, unconsciously. It may sound strange but we actually do.合掌</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2333_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-29701" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2333_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="あじさい" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2333_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2333_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2333_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Kyoto is in the rainy season called Tsuyu (梅雨), and Ajizai (Hydrangea) are in bloom. There are several places to admire them through the archipelago. Ajisai-en (Hydrangea garden) of Sanzenin temple is one of them. It is located in rural Ohara and known as a hidden gem among Kyoto-enthusiasts.</p>
<p>Despite their expectations, the temple can&#8217;t open up the gate for us: The flowers are gone.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_9288_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-29702" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_9288_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="あじさい" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_9288_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_9288_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_9288_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>In Japan, beetles called Zomushi, a.k.a., &#8220;Ajisai Chokiri (Hydrangea-cutter)&#8221; live near Hydrangeas. They cut off the flower to lay eggs in their stem. Due to the beetles, we can&#8217;t admire the hydrangea there.</p>
<p>In a interview in a TV program, a monk said something very impressive.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trees live, insects live. I suppose Zomushi-san (We can attach -san even to insects to show respect) must survive. I rather would like to show a gratitude for hydrangeas bloomed every year (instead of blaming Zomushi-san for the incident).&#8221; (In the last sentence, he also shows respect for Ajisai. I can&#8217;t find a proper translation to describe it.)</p>
<p>What he said shows us two thoughts lies behind our social norms. 1) Respect for others including insects, flowers, and so on. and 2) Empathy.</p>
<p>For instance, we don&#8217;t talk loud in a bus. It is a public place and other passengers get irritated with loud voice. Of course there are some exceptions. If a baby is crying, we don&#8217;t get irritated because we understand it is &#8220;her duty&#8221; in common.</p>
<p><a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_1152_GF_GF.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-29703" src="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_1152_GF_GF-300x199.jpg" alt="あじさいとアフロアヒル" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_1152_GF_GF-300x199.jpg 300w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_1152_GF_GF-100x66.jpg 100w, https://kyotokankoyagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_1152_GF_GF.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>These thoughts deteriorated these days but still alive, I believe. 合掌</p>

<h2>大鯉と宮殿</h2>
<h3>概説</h3>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="祇園祭2017】鯉山の辻回し/Koiyama【Gion festival】" width="1256" height="707" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BA0CEkx3i-A?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>山鉾の主題は、神話、能、故事などに取材するものが多くありますが、鯉山では中国の故事に取材し、17世紀に左甚五郎により彫刻されたとされる、御神体たる巨大な木彫りの鯉と浪（なみ）が乗せられています。これらは鯉が龍門瀑を登る様子を表現しています。</p>
<h3>龍門爆</h3>
<p>「龍門瀑」とは、黄河上流にある難攻不落の滝門という滝の名称です。『後漢書』では、この滝を登り切った鯉は龍になると記載されています。</p>
<p>時に、鎌倉時代になると宋から禅宗が伝播しました。蘭渓道隆（らんけいどうりゅう）とという南宋の僧侶で、日本に帰化し、禅宗をもたらしましたところ、著書の『大覚禅省行文』の中で、鯉が生命を賭して瀧を昇り龍になる行為並びに背後にある意思を、雲水が修行を経て<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/kiyomizudera-senjukannon-jp" target="_blank">観音</a>の智慧を得る過程での範とすべしとしています。また、『碧巌録』という禅公案とその注釈が記された書物にも登場します。この思想はその第七則において”三級浪高魚化龍”と記されています。</p>

<p>龍門瀑は禅宗の庭園によくみられ、天龍寺にあるものが典型的な龍門瀑です。以前は『都林泉名所図会』にみられるように、実際に水が流れていましたが、現在は<a href="https://kyotokankoyagi.com/karesansui-jp" target="_blank">枯山水</a>となっています。</p>

<p>大鯉は全長約1.5メートル、本体、ひれ、髭のパーツからなり、ひれ、髭は本体に差し込まれています。収納する箱には寛文二年（1662年）に新調した旨の記載があり、放射性炭素年代測定の結果もこれを裏付けます。</p>
<p>これらは江戸時代の名工、左甚五郎の作とされています。左甚五郎は実在の人物か否かは不明ですが、日光東照宮の眠りねこや三猿を作成したとされ、あまりの精密さから夜になると動き出したと伝えられます。</p>

<p>大鯉の下にある浪は龍門瀑としぶきを表していますが、これは大鯉とは別に明治五年（1872）に作成されたものです。それまでは、滝は苧麻（からむし。麻の一種）などで表現されていました。現在も名残が残っています。（鯉のあごのあたり）</p>
<p>また、欄縁（らんぶち。大鯉が乗っている胴体の上の縁の部分。赤枠内）にも浪の金工があしらわれています。</p>
<h3>いわれ</h3>
<p>この大鯉にはいわれがあります。室町六角付近にすんでいた大家が大津から用事をすませて帰る途中、渡し船にのっていたところ、手ぬぐいを取り出そうとして、小判を琵琶湖に落としてしまいました。その後、この顛末を正直者の男に話します。その後、その男が魚うりから琵琶湖の鯉を買ったところ、中から小判がでてきました。先ほどの顛末を思い出した男は大家のところに返しにいくと、大家は当該小判は鯉をかった人のもの故受け取れない旨伝えます。男も大家のものだと譲らないので、仕方なく役人に相談したところ、その小判で鯉を左甚五郎に彫ってもらい、山にするといい旨助言を受け、大鯉がご神体になったとするものです。</p>

<h2>タペストリー</h2>

<p>鯉山の胴体は一枚のタペストリーを分断したものと、それらと縫い合わせられた清初の女性官服からなっています。</p>
<p>タペストリーには、&#8221;BB&#8221;とイニシャルが入っており、BBタペストリーとも称されます。16世紀にベルギーのブリュッセルで作成されたもので、ホメロスの叙事詩『イーリアス』の一場面が描かれています。（BBの意味については後述します）</p>

<p>ブリュッセルで同時期に作成されたBBタペストリーは、鶏鉾、霰天神山、白楽天山などでも懸装品として用いられています。</p>
<p>このタペストリーについては、鯉山のタペストリーの写真と日本で作成された調査書に基づく、1979年にベルギー王立美術歴史博物館(Royal Museum of Art and History)のキュレイターの報告書(Report concerning some ancient  Brussels tapestries preserved in Japan (Kyoto and elsewhere)  がありますので、以下、要約します。</p>
<p>添付資料の復元図から以下三点が推論される。（原文はdeduction can be made)</p>
<ol>
<li>外苑部分は1560年前後にブリュッセルで作成された動物学タイプ（zoological type)に属する</li>
<li>中央部のデザインから後期フランドルルネサンス（北方ルネサンス）期の作品と推定される。</li>
<li>中央部のデザインの主題はソロモン王とシバではなく、（その旨調査書に記載されていたと解される）キリスト教以前の歴史に属するものであり、国王と女王が羊さん（原文ではan offer of two sheep(?)と記載）をアポロン（ハープを持ち、月桂冠を冠していることからわかる）場面である。</li>
</ol>
<p>上記から、本件タペストリーは1575年から1620年の間に作られた神話を主題とした作品群の一部である。このデザインはフランドルのものであり(surely Flemish) 、イタリアのものとは明確に異なる。（調査書ではイタリアから支倉使節に譲渡されたと記載されていたと解される）ただし、イタリア人は同時期のタペストリーを購入することはよくあったので、1613年に支倉使節にイタリア人から譲渡された可能性もある。</p>
<p>本件報告書の添付資料、並びに、ほかの同時期に作成されたと解される鶏鉾の懸装品など一連の作品の共通性から、当該作品群はホメロスの『リーリアス』に描かれるトロイ戦争の様子を描写したものであり、鯉山のものもこれに属する。</p>
<p>BB とは、Brabant-Brussells の略であり、ブリュッセルの市の紋章である。1525年より使用が義務付けられた。Brabant とはブリュッセルがある行政区(原文ではprovince or county)のこと。</p>
<p>また、翌年の書簡では、このタペストリーはカトリックの宣教師経由で日本にもたらされた可能性を示唆しています。</p>
<h2>イーリアス</h2>
<p>イーリアスはギリシャ神話に描かれるトロイア戦争に取材した作品であり、あらすじを要約すると以下の通り。</p>
<div class="blank-box bb-tab bb-tips bb-red">
<ol>
<li>トロイア戦争とは現在のトルコ辺りのトロイ王国とギリシャの10年間にわたる戦争で、イーリアスではその最後の49日間が描かれる。</li>
<li>トロイアの王子パリスがアプロディーテ（ヴィーナスのこと）に入れ知恵され、ギリシャから絶世の美女ヘレネーを連れ去りしっぽりする。これが端緒となりトロイア戦争が勃発。</li>
<li>この戦争でギリシャ最強の兵士、アキレウスが軍の偉いさんと対立し、戦線離脱。</li>
<li>トロイア軍の英雄ヘクトルが攻めてくる。アキレウスの親友パトロクロスがアキレウスの代わりに出撃するが、ヘクトルに返り討ちにあう。</li>
<li>アキレウスがブチ切れて再び参戦、ヘクトルをブチ〇し仇を打つ。その後、ヘクトルの亡骸に対し、市中引き回しをかますなど、怒りが収まらない。</li>
<li>いたたまれなくなったヘクトルの父プリアモスはアキレウスに会いに行き、ヘクトルを弔いたい旨を伝える。アキレウスは遺体引き渡し、葬儀が執り行われ、終幕。</li>
</ol>
