- quote -
According to an English language brochure given out at the temple, the site was first occupied late in the Nara period
by two priests, Zenchū and Zensan.
The Miroku-ji temple was erected in 765 CE. The name "Katsuō-ji" was given by the Emperor Seiwa. The temple was burned in 1184 CE. The present Main Hall and Temple Gate were rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori.
Katsuō-ji is the 23rd temple in the Kansai Kannon Pilgrimage.
"Winner's Luck" and Daruma
The word "katsu" in the temple's name refers to winning. People buy daruma dolls hoping to obtain "winner's luck". If the wish is fulfilled, the daruma is often returned to the temple and left somewhere on the grounds.

He was a strange old man, living in the Early Heian period.
Around (859-877) he sold white chopsticks in the streets of Kyoto. He always seemed to be about 70 years. After his death his body was buried in the earth.
But a few years later people saw him, clad like a monk, reading the 法華経 Hoke-Kyo Sutra

11 Sadazumi Shinno 貞純親王  (?874-916)
平安時代前期-中期,清和天皇の皇子。
母は棟貞王(むねさだおう)の娘。貞観(じょうがん)15年親王となる。中務(なかつかさ)卿,兵部(ひょうぶ)卿,上総(かずさ)・常陸(ひたち)・上野(こうずけ)の太守をつとめた。清和源氏の祖である源経基(つねもと)の父とされる。延喜(えんぎ)16年5月7日死去。
貞純親王(さだずみしんのう)は、日本の平安時代前期の皇族。清和天皇の第六皇子。母は棟貞王の娘。王子に経基王・経生王がある。桃園親王と号す。
親王任国とされる上総や常陸の太守や、中務卿・兵部卿を歴任したが、位階は四品に留まった。経基・経生の両王子が共に源姓を賜与され臣籍降下したことから、清和源氏の祖の一人となった。ただし、これについては異説があり、従来の貞純親王流とされる清和源氏は陽成天皇(親王の兄)からつながる血筋だとする説もある。また、出生年月日は貞観12年(870年)3月10日[1]、貞観16年(874年)3月23日[2]とも。
いわゆる清和源氏の出自について異説があるが、その一つに陽成源氏説がある。これは、清和源氏の祖とされた経基王が陽成天皇の皇子・元平親王の皇子ではないかとする説である。これは明治の歴史学者星野恒の唱えたもので、明治30年代に石清水八幡宮祠官田中家文書の中に源頼信が応神天皇陵に納めたとされる永承元年(1046年)告文に「先人新発其先経基其先元平親王其先陽成天皇其先清和天皇」と明記してある事を根拠としたもの。しかしこの文書は写本であり、告文の裏面に校正したと但書きがあることから信憑性が疑われている。また、告文の内容は河内石川庄の相続順序に過ぎないとする説や、12世紀はじめに書かれた「大鏡」が武家源氏を清和天皇の末としていることもあり、清和源氏が正しいとする学者が多くいる。

【生馬仙人】---59代宇多天皇(在位887-897)時代。
生馬仙人は、摂津国住吉県の人なり。
河内国高安県の東山の麓なる、生馬谷の奥に住り。
宇多天皇の寛平九年、行脚の僧明達と云へる人有り。
或時此東山の絶頂に登りて、深谷を見るに、一の草庵有り。
明達奇みて、其の谷に下り行き、庵の内を見れば、顔色黄みたる人、【頭に白帽子を戴き、身に白衣を着たる】が居れり。
明達近づきて、君は誰人にて、又何の為に、此の深山の奥に、獨り住む給ふやと問ひければ、此の人答て、我は是れ生馬の仙人なり。
汝遥々ここに来たりたれば、定めて飢に及びたらむとて、瓜五つを取り出して、明達に与へ、此瓜は此の地に生ずるものなり。
之を食して、飢渇を免るべしと云へるにぞ。
明達其の好意を謝し、之れを受けて食するに、其の味の美きこと云ふばかりなし。
明達重ねて、仙人は此の地に住みて、幾歳をか経給へると問へば、仙人答へて、然ればとよ、我此の山谷に入りてより以来、未だ山を下りて麓をだに見たること無れば、幾年経たりとも知らず。
唯長生不死の道を求るのみと云へるとぞ。
明達故郷に帰りて人に語れるより、此事普く世に語り伝ふること々はなりしとなむ。

Yamada Hookoku 山田方谷 Yamada Hokoku
(1805 – 1877)



- quote
Yamada Hokoku
was an educator and a vassal of the Bitchu Matsuyama Domain. As a subject of the Matsuyama Domain, Hokoku helped bring about the domain's reformation, working to repay debt totaling twice as much as the domain's revenue while leaving the same amount of accumulated wealth, all in just eight years. These efforts, including developing specialty products, improving farm tools, and promoting encouragement of new industries, always had the interest of the common people in mind.
Because he was also an educator, Hokoku encouraged common people to train both body and mind. His actions were based on the philosophies of 市民撫育 / 士民撫育"Shiminbuiku" (which states that all things are intended for the people) and 至誠惻怛 "Shiseisokudatsu" (the spirit of cordiality and affection).
In his later years, Hokoku received a request from the government to assist his country, which he refused and instead dedicated himself to the education of children in private supplementary schools in his hometown, at the Shizutani School, and at other locations.
Yamada Hokoku served Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, one of Japan's 12 castles with a main keep that still stands today. The castle is located atop a mountain at an altitude of 430 m, making it the highest fortress in Japan with an existing main keep. Bitchu Matsuyama Castle is famously known as the "Castle in the Sky," as it appears to be floating on a sea of clouds.

EDO - Jinbocho Jinbo Koji district

https://edoflourishing.blogspot.jp/2015/10/kanda-district.html


Jimbochō Jinbōchō 神保町 (Jinbocho)
is Tokyo's bookshop district. Like Ochanomizu it is only a station name, serving western Kanda. It is an academic neighbourhood with lots of schools and two universities (Meiji Daigaku and Nihon Daigaku) reaching as far as Ochanomizu station. The area therefore abounds with students. Jimbochō's bookshops offer everything from rare, antique books to hentai manga. Most of the shops are concentrated along the Yasukuni-dōri Avenue and are small and privately owned.
Sanseidō is the only big bookshop spreading a several floors. It is located at crossing of Yasukuni-dōri and Meiji-dōri Avenues. You will find plenty of English books (and some French and German ones too) at the 5th floor.
- source : wa-pedia.com/japan-guide -

jinboo kooji 神保小路 Jinbo Koji, Jinbo alley
This district is named after a rich feudal lord, Jinbō Nagaharu, Jinboo Nagaharu 神保長治 Jinbo Nagaharu, who had his huge estate in the alley named after him, at the end of the 17th century.
There were two Jinbo Koji alleys, 表 Omote and 裏 Ura. Other feudal lords had their estates in this area too, but after the Meiji restauration, in 1869, they lost their land and the alley was re-named, Jinbocho.

宝亀元年4に保呂波山から夜叉鬼がきて女米鬼山に住み、里人の娘を奪い妻として、大瀧丸を生んだ。略奪を繰り返すので村民は恐れて古種沢鏡池より保量大権現を勧請し、その難を逃れようとした。現在由里群大正寺村、河辺郡女米鬼村、男鹿半島の一部に伝わる「悪魔払い」あるいは「ナモミハギ」の行事は、その難を忘無いために始まったのではないか。

Amanosake, Amano Sake 天野酒



- Homepage of the brewery in Osaka
- source : amanosake.com... -

.......................................................................

- quote John Gauntner
Osaka has long been a great center of commerce and activity, but likely doesn't stand out as a major brewing center in the minds of most people. True, it has never been nearly as significant as its Kansai cousins — Kyoto, Hyogo and Nara — but the sake brewing culture was, and still is, strong there.

Osaka has historically been blessed with clean water and good rice. Things today are certainly not what they were hundreds of years ago, for either water or rice. But long ago water in Osaka was good all around, and tiny breweries existed (either officially or otherwise) in abundance, especially in Kawachi, Ikeda and Izumi. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle, Osaka consumerism boomed as it grew into a true castle town. Naturally enough, so did the demand for sake. Sake production in those three areas took off. At one point there were 38 sakagura (breweries) in Ikeda alone.

Hideyoshi was known to be fond of a sake called Amano-zake, brewed in a temple named Kangoji on Mount Amano. It was (and still is) brewed using koji that is much further along in its starch-to-sugar converting than koji used in normal sake. Amanozake is darker, mustier, sweeter and more tart than modern sake. One Osaka sake, which uses the brand name Amanozake, re-creates the original style in a sake they call their Amanozake Boso-shu.

WASHOKU - Hakata Daruma Ramen

https://washokufood.blogspot.jp/2008/04/ramen.html


.......................................................................



博多だるま「福岡・博多」豚骨ラーメン
Hakata Daruma - Fukuoka Tonkotsu Ramen

Fukuoka Prefecture, Fukuoka, Chuo, Watanabedori, 1丁目8−25

- quote -
Hakata Daruma's ramen is considered the representative ramen of Fukuoka. The soup has received historical recognition across the nation. The restaurant's most popular ramen is topped with chashu, which is made from a rare cut of pork cheek. A usual order of ramen costs 700 yen with an additional fee of 150 yen for an extra serving of noodles to slurp up with any remaining soup. Free extras include sesame seeds and ginger to add a different taste.
The rich flavor of the soup
is achieved by boiling pork hind-legs over long periods of time. This makes it irresistible once Daruma's distinctively thin noodles are added, a characteristic of the restaurant since its establishment in 1963. Again, Hakata Daruma provides customers with the option to choose how hard they'd like their noodles. If you're a ramen first-timer, it's suggested to go with the standard noodle texture and you can work out your preferences from there.
