Hassaku Festival 八朔祭
Hassaku means August 1 according to the lunar calendar.
At the Hassaku Festival of the 日吉神社 Hiyoshi Shrine located in Shinjo, young men pray for a good harvest and run all over carrying the barrel mikoshi portable shrine and singing the Hassaku Ondo. They then dedicate it to the shrine. Moreover, the main attraction of the festival is the Riot Tengu (a long-nosed goblin).
The Tengu chases after young women and children by showing "the symbol of a man" slightly from his clothes. The symbol is made of wood.
It is said to be the most unusual festival in Fukui Prefecture.

八朔とは旧暦8月朔日のことで、月遅れの9月1日を指します。美浜町新庄の日吉神社では、その9月1日に八朔(はっさく)祭が行われます。村を東と西に分け、午前は東で午後は西がそれぞれ行います。
朱塗りの大角樽を棒に吊り下げ、担ぎながら神前に奉納するとき、オドケと呼ばれる仮装した青年も行列に参加し、天狗がその先頭をつとめます。「山神句」といわれる音頭に笛や太鼓で囃しながら行列を組んで村中を練り歩きます。「今年豊年穂に穂が咲いて、道の千草も米がなる」と八朔音頭を唄います。
天狗は大きな木製の男根を持ち、見物人の女性にその男根をつきつけます。それに触れると良い子どもがうまれると言われており、かつては八朔襦袢(はっさくじゅばん)といわれる軽装一枚で暴れまわり、樽にはドブロクを詰めて供えてみんなに振舞っていたので、「ドブロク祭」とも言われていました。
この美浜町新庄の八朔祭は、福井県内では、"一番エッチな祭"だといわれています。
午前も午後も天狗が飛び出して暴れまわり、衣の間に木でこしられた長さ50cm、太さ8cmほどの「男のシンボル」をちらつかせながら、見物している女性や、子どもを追っかけまわす、 天狗が持つ男根で突いてもらうと 良い児が生まれて稲の花がつつがなく交配され、今年は豊年万作である」と昔の人たちは考えていたのだと思います。天狗がちらつかせながら女性たちをつつきまわる "男のシンボル"に、今年の豊作の願いをこめているのです。

Welcome to the annual cursing festival in Ibaraki Prefecture, where young and old are encouraged to verbally abuse 13 monks dressed as tengu (long-nosed goblin). Meanwhile, the people gathered around the tengu have a tug-of-war over what looks like a bamboo mat used to roll sushi with a small prize inside. Whoever manages to pry the mat from the other desperate contestants' hands, according to the Atago shrine, will be lucky in the year to come.
Cursing is welcome here, so spit all that stress out on the last days of the year.

EDO - Torigoe Torikoe district

https://edoflourishing.blogspot.jp/2017/07/taito-ward.html

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


Torigoe 鳥越 (とりごえ)Torigoe Ward (Torikoe)
With the sub-districts Torigoe 1 and 2 and Asakusabashi 3 to 5

The name of this district dates back to the Heian period, the village Torigoe mura 鳥越村, and the legend about
. Minamoto no Yoshiie Hachimantaro 源八幡太郎義家 / 源義家 .

In the Edo period, after the removal of a small hill the new flat area was called Asakusa Torigoe Cho 浅草鳥越町 in 16435.



- quote -
In this map, the area outlined in red and labeled "頒暦所御用ヤシキ" (Hanrekishogoyouyashiki: Observatory for the Calendar; the lettering is upside-down from this angle) is the Astronomical Observatory in Asakusa constructed in 1782 (2nd year of the Tenmei Era). At first, this observatory was used to compile the Kansei Calendar. Afterwards, the Tenmonkata (Official Astronomer) continued to use it for observations until the fall of the Shogunate.
Previously,
Torigoe Hill had been located in the northern part of the area shown in this map; and farther north was a pond named Himegaike. But to help ease the land shortage inside of Edo (now Tokyo), the pond was filled in and the hill was flattened. With the hill to the north gone and low lying river banks to the east and the south, this site had clear lines of sight, making it suitable for an observatory. Perhaps that's why it was chosen.
In modern times
when we think of observatories, we envision sites located far from urban areas to optimize the observing conditions. But looking at this map, to the north-west of the observatory is Torigoe Shrine; to the north is Jyusyo Temple; and to the north-east is Saifuku Temple, which is listed on maps of important Edo sites. Turning to the south where the Torigoe River is located, we find Fudasashi Gokaisei Kaisyo (a government accounting office). It can definitely be said that this is an urban area. On the other hand, since the observations don't seem to have suffered due to being located within a city, we can get a sense of how dark the Edo nights must have been. The Astronomical Observatory in Asakusa is also included in Hokusai Katsushika's "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji" under the name Torigoe-no-fuji (Torigoe's Unparalleled [View of Mt. Fuji]).

also spelled とりごえじんじゃ Torigoe Jinja.
The shrine is the final resting place of the legendary leader 日本武尊 Yamato Takeru no Mikoto. A former prince and ruler in Japan, stories of Yamato Takeru have been told for centuries.
The deity of the shrine was first called Hakuchoo Myoojin 白鳥明神 Hakucho Myojin (Swan Deity).
In the late Heian period, Minamoto no Yoshiie was shown his way through the wetlands by 白い鳥 "white birds" 越 crossing over.
To show his gratitude, Yoshiie venerated 鳥越大明神 Torigoe Daimyojin.
Thus the name Torigoe (birds crossing over) was given to the whole district.

Initially ironwork production here was dominated by cauldrons, however as the tea ceremony grew in popularity, the iron kettle is said to have been created by making these cauldrons smaller and adding a spout and a handle. Nowadays the ironworkers of this region produce around 35 different products – not only iron kettles but also wind chimes, bottle openers, ashtrays, ornaments, wall hangings and vases.
Nanbu ironware was designated a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1975.

4 Kayoi Komachi 通小町.
Captain Fukakusa no Shosho (Fukakusa no Shoushou 深草少将) fell in love with Komachi. She promised to spend a night with him if he slept 100 nights outside her door. The captain braves the elements for 99 nights, marking each night by notch on the carriage shaft bench, but expires on the 100th. The poem reads:
"One hundred times or more, I hear the fluttering of the snipes' wings as I count the lonely hours till dawn when you have not come."

Ononokomachi no rei 小野小町の霊 spirit of Ono no Komachi
After her affair with Fukasa Komachi fled the capital of Kyoto. She fell very sick. Before she died, she wanted to see her father one more time and walked towart Tohoku.
In the mountains of Yonezawa she collapsed. Yakushi Nyorai took pity on her and let her to the river 小野川 Onogawa and a hot spring. But she died at 塩井 Shioi.
The villagers took pity on her and built a mound with a Jizo Bosatsu hall over her grave.
About 200 years later a mendicant priest read the Sutras at the mound, when the spirit of Komachi appeared and told him that Fukasa was reborn as the son of a dry goods dealer in Yonezawa.
When the man heard this, he fell ill and died soon. He was buried in the West of the mound, now called 美男塚 Binanzuka, "Mound of the beautiful man".
There are other versions of this story.

Shiramine Daisoojo 天狗 白峰大僧正 Tengu Shiramine Daisojo


He was a teacher of Buddhism and later became a Tengu at Mount Hakusan.
He was the second son of the samurai family of Mikami no Yasuzumi 三神安角(みかみのやすずみ)and became a monk at age 14.

He practised austerities at 愛宕山 Mount Atago together with En no Gyoja 役小角 En no Ozunu, where they met three Tengu and got special teachings and training.
While they were at the mountain, a strong rain hindered their meditation and they prayed for help.
Suddenly three Great Tengu 大天狗 appeared, Nichiryo from India 天竺(インド)の日良, Zegai from China 唐の善界 and Tarobo from Japan 日本の太郎坊.
"We have protected the Buddhist Law for more than 2000 years and helped the people who lived there."
Then they disappeared.
Taicho declared the huge sugi cedar tree 杉 where this happened「清滝四所明神」Kiyotaki Shisho Myojin and on orders from the Court built a mausoleum for the emperor where the Deity 愛宕大権現 Atago Gongen was venerated, now 白雲寺 Hakuun-Ji(愛宕神社 Atago Jinja).
(This legend became popular in the Edo period.
And thus 愛宕山太郎坊 Tarobo from Mount Atago became the Boss of all Japanese Tengu.)

Priest Taicho kept on travelling. In 117年 he climbed mount Hakusan in Echizen province and enshrined a "super Bosatsu" :
Myoori Daibosatsu 妙理大菩薩 The Godess Myori Daibosatsu.

In 717, the great Buddhist monk and teacher, Taicho Daishi, guided by a woodcutter Gongoro Sasakiri, climbed high up Mount Hakusan, an isolated sacred mountain, in order to meditate.
One night,
while Taicho was sleeping after beginning his rigorous regime of spiritual exercises, the guardian deity of Mount Hakusan appeared to him in a dream and said:
'Lying about twenty-three kilometers from the foot of the mountain is a village called Awazu. There you will find an underground spring of hot water with wondrous, curative powers, which have been bestowed upon it by Yakushi Nyorai, the Divine Healer. However, the villagers are unaware of this blessing. Go down from the mountain and go to Awazu. With the people of the village, unearth the hot spring and it will serve them forever.'"

Hooshi Ryookan 法師旅館 Ryokan Hotel Hoshi
石川県小松市粟津温泉 Ishikawa, Komatsu, Awazu Onsen
The roots of (Hooshi) Hoshi, the most ancient inn all over the world are truly divine. According to legend in 717 a noted monk Taicho hiked high up Mt Hakusan, a saint and isolated mountain. While Taicho was asleep one night after starting his rigid training exercises, the God of Hakusan turned up while sleeping.

He ordered him to go to a village known as Awazu as there was an underground hot spring with wondrous powers. The people of the village did not know of the good fortune. After dreaming Taicho made his way down to the village and uncovered the gem laying underneath the earth's surface. Afterwards the priest requested his disciple to build and operate a spa at the site.

Generation after generation, Hoshi proprietors got the name 善吾楼 Zengoro Hoshi. The first Zengoro guided Taicho Daishi to the top of Mt. Hakusan. Quite a few people undergoing illnesses visited the spa built. People started making donations. He then used the money to expand the services he offered.

Kippoji Temple 吉峰寺 
It is believed that this temple was established by Taicho Daishi (the great teacher). Dogen Zenji stayed at this Dojo (Buddhist's training school) from the start of his days in the Echizen province. ...
... there is also 'Kaizan Zazen Ishi' which is a rock where it is said that Dogen sat in Zen meditation. Next to it is a spring flowing from Mt. Hakusan.

Yoshinogatake - Zaosan
This mountain is one of top 5 mountains in Echizen. Many holy and miraculous spots are found there, such as 'Zao Gongendo' that Taicho Daishi is said to have enshrined. Ruins of an accommodation for the people who were training on the mountain during the Heian period can be found here, along with the holy spring called 'Akamizu', which mountain ascetics in training offered to the gods and Buddha.

- 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.

source : 国際日本文化研究センタ

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。
