People pray first to Kannon to prevent senility, next to a statue of Yakushi Nyorai to grant general health and then to Kobo Daishi himself to help them "drop dead" in good health.<br />
So at this temple, people pray three times<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">pin pin korori <b>PPK</b>(ピンピンコロリ) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">ぴんぴん元気に長生きし、ころりと大往生</span><br />

Kukai visited here around 808 and performed fire rituals to appease the local deities. <br />
In the compounds are even the <i>nana fushigi</i> 弘法の七不思議 <b>seven wonders about Kobo Daishi:</b><br />

Once upon a time there was a cloth merchant in Oodakachoo 大高町 in Nagoya, named Tsu no Kuniya 津の国屋. The grandmother of this store was an ardent believer in Kobo Daishi and prayed to him every day. When she felt her final day come closer she took Kobo Daishi (?his statue) by the arm, went to this shrine and asked for an amulet. Then she went home and passed on happily.<br />
<br />
Now there are three statues of Kobo Daishi in the shrine compound <br />

Once the dyer 大西 Onishi tried many times to make some 藍染 indigo dye but just did not hit it right. So he prayed to the deity 荒熊大神 for help. And indeed, the deity let him know how to prepare just the right indigo color. He could now make wonderful Yukata cloth and his reputation grew far and wide. <br />

Amulets from the temple - 岩屋寺 御守り<br />

<span style="font-size: 78%;">- quote</span><br />
Legend states that the temple was donated to Kōbō Daishi by a mysterious female recluse named Hokke-Sennin. Was she a shamaness or just a woman well advanced in Buddhist training? Kōbō Daishi carved two statues of Fudō, one in stone and kept in a cave at the rear of the temple, and the other in wood and enshrined in the hondō. <br />
<br />
By keeping the stone statue in the cave, Kōbō Daishi ensured that the entire mountain needed to be worshipped in order to worship the statue. This way the mountain remained sacred, just as it had been in Shintōism. Over time, every nook and cranny of the mountain became sacred and every rock and slope became part of the sacred object. <br />
<br />
This temple is one of the nansho of Ehime Prefecture and is one of the sites where mountain recluses and wandering holy men once performed their religious disciplines. <br />

He had no formal education as painter and learned it all by himself, after a friend sent him a box of tubes with oil colors.<br />
He painted a lot of roses. He also painted the fish of the market in Manazuru.<br />

<br />
Later in his life he spent almost 20 years in the harbor of Manazuru, painting the landscape in many colors and a lot of "deforme". <br />
The blue sky was the ceiling of his open atelier, as he called it. <br />
Only on rainy days would he stay inside and paint rosed in his room.<br />
<br />
He compared himself to Daruma san, who spent 9 years in front of a wall meditating ... just that it took him longer.<br />

He lived a long life, always trying to improve his paintings and <br />
bring the subject "to life".<br />
Beauty was not his concern, but "to be alive".<br />
<br />
There is a <b>museum</b> in his honor in Manazuru.<br />
Even the emperor and his wife have been here to look at his paintings.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Aburakake Jizō 油懸地蔵</span><br />
Greasy Jizō or Oil-Covered Jizō. There are various manifestations.<br />
Today, at Saiganji Temple 西岸寺 (a Jodō sect temple) in Kyoto's Fushimi 伏見 district, there is an Aburakake Jizō reportedly dated to the Kamakura period. In olden days, Fushimi was a hub of commerce and trade. <br />
<br />
"Inbound cargo was unloaded on the wharves at Chūshōjima, then carried by porters another two kilometers into Kyoto. <br />
One day, an oil vendor from Yamazaki (a place to the southwest of Kyoto known for its sesame oil) was making his way down Aburakake Dōri [lit. = oil-covered street] when he tripped and fell, spilling his precious load. He scooped up what was left and offered it to this wayside Jizō. Thereafter he prospered, and as word spread of his good fortune, others came to pray for success.<br />
When they achieved it, they gave thanks by pouring a little bit of oil over the image. <br />
Today shopkeepers and businessmen continue the tradition of pouring oil over the glistening 1.7-meter-high image, and offerings of ten-liter cans of oil are stacked inside the hall." <br />

<b><span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Kamo no Choomei 鴨長明 Kamo no Chomei </span></b><br />
Kamo no Chōmei<br />
( 1153 or 1155–1216) <br />
<br />
a Japanese author, poet (in the waka form), and essayist. <br />
He witnessed a series of natural and social disasters, and, having lost his political backing, was passed over for promotion within the Shinto shrine associated with his family. He decided to turn his back on society, take Buddhist vows, and became a hermit, living outside the capital. This was somewhat unusual for the time, when those who turned their backs on the world usually joined monasteries. Along with the poet-priest Saigyō he is representative of the literary recluses of his time, and his celebrated essay<br />
Hōjōki ("An Account of a Ten-Foot-Square Hut") is representative of the genre known as "recluse literature" (sōan bungaku).<br />
<br />

Born with the name Kamo no Nagaakira,<br />
<b><br />
Life as a recluse</b><br />
Chōmei's specific reasons for becoming a recluse are unclear, but a string of bad luck, specifically the death of his father and his inability to fill the position left behind by him, may have caused him to leave court life. He spent the next five years in Ohara, at the foot of Mount Hiei, but considered his time here as a failure, and so he moved to Hino, in the hills southeast of the capital, where he spent the rest of his life. The design of the hut he built in Hino was inspired by the dwelling of the Buddhist recluse Vimalakirti. The Vimalakirti Sutra exerted a profound influence on Hōjōki. Chōmei wrote Mumyōshō, Hosshinshū, and Hōjōki while living as a recluse. Though Chōmei states in Hōjōki that he never left his dwelling, a separate account states that he made a trip to Kamakura to visit the shogun and poet Minamoto no Sanetomo.<br />
<br />
During his later life, Chōmei maintained a socio-historical perspective that was rare in court poets of the time. The accounts of chaos in the capital in the first part of Hōjōki suggest Chōmei's social interests, and he contrasts them with his peaceful life as a Buddhist in reclusion. His account coincides with the spread of Buddhism to the general populace; and his careful depictions of the natural surroundings of his hut and of the natural and social disasters in the capital form a unique microscopic and macroscopic view of life during a violent period of transition. Attention to nature and self-reflection characterize the genre of recluse literature, and Chōmei was its pre-eminent practitioner.<br />
<br />
Chōmei's died the tenth day of the intercalary six-month of 1216, <br />
when he asked Zenjaku to complete a koshiki for him.<br />

“it contains many truths in a single word ” <br />

The qualities deemed essential to the style [of yugen] are overtones that do not appear in the words alone and an atmosphere that is not visible in the configuration of the poem It is like the situation of a beautiful woman who, although she has cause for resentment, does not give vent to her feelings in words, but is only faintly discerneded at night, perhaps to be in a profoundly distressed condition. The effect of such a discovery is far more painful and pathetic than if she had exhausted her vocabulary with jealous accusations or made a point of wringing out her tear-drenched sleeves to one's face<br />

Though the river's current never fails, the water passing, moment by moment, is never the same. Where the current pools, bubbles form on the surface, bursting and disappearing as others rise to replace them, none lasting long. In this world, people and their dwelling places are like that, always changing. <br />

<b><span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Soojoo Henjoo 僧正遍照 Sojo Henjo </span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Sōjō Henjō</b> (遍昭 or 遍照, 816 – February 12, 890) was a Japanese waka poet and Buddhist priest. His birth name was Yoshimine no Munesada (良岑宗貞). Thanks to a reference to him in the preface of Kokin Wakashū he is listed as one of the Six best Waka poets and one of the Thirty-six Poetry Immortals.<br />
<br />
Henjō was the eighth son of Dainagon Yoshimine no Yasuyo, a son of Emperor Kammu who was relegated to civilian life. Henjō began his career as a courtier. He was appointed to the position of kurodo, a sort of Chamberlain of Emperor Nimmyō. In 849 he was raised to the Head of Kurodo (Kurōdonotō).<br />
After Emperor Nimmyō died in 850, Henjō became a monk out of his grief.<br />
<br />

<br />
He was a priest of the Tendai school. In 877 he founded Gankei-ji in Yamashina, in the southeast part of Kyoto. In 869 he was given another temple Urin-in in Murasakino, in the north of Kyoto and managed both temples. In 885 he was ranked in Sojo and called Kazan Sojo (花山僧正).<br />
<br />
Henjō was famous for the following poem from the <b>Hyakunin Isshu</b>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"> 天津風雲の通ひ路吹き閉ぢよ<br />
をとめの姿 しばしとどめむ </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"> Oh stormy winds, bring up the clouds<br />
And paint the heavens grey;<br />
Lest these fair maids of form divine<br />
Should angel wings display,<br />
And fly far far away. </span><br />

<b>The First Buddhist Nuns </b><br />
Pajapati's Story<br />
<br />
The historical Buddha's most famous statements on women came about when his stepmother and aunt, Maha Pajapati Gotami, asked to join the Sangha and become a nun. The Buddha initially refused her request. Eventually he relented, but in doing so he made conditions and a prediction that remain controversial to this day.<br />
<br />
Pajapati was the sister of the Buddha's mother, Maya, who had died a few days after his birth. Maya and Pajapati were both married to his father, King Suddhodana, and after Maya's death Pajapati nursed and raised her sister's son.<br />
<br />
Pajapati approached her stepson and asked to be received into the Sangha. The Buddha said no. Still determined, Pajapati and 500 women followers cut off their hair, dressed themselves in patched monk's robes, and set out on foot to follow the traveling Buddha.<br />
<br />

<br />
When Pajapati and her followers caught up to the Buddha, they were exhausted. Ananda, the Buddha's cousin and most devoted attendant, found Pajapati in tears, dirty, her feet swollen. "Lady, why are you crying like this?" he asked.<br />
<br />
She replied to Ananda that she wished to enter the Sangha and receive ordination, but the Buddha had refused her. Ananda promised to speak to the Buddha on her behalf.<br />

Shōkozan Tōkei-ji (松岡山 東慶寺),<b> Tokei-Ji</b><br />
also known as Kakekomi-dera (駆け込み寺) or <b>Enkiri-dera </b>(縁切り寺)), <br />
is a Buddhist temple and a former nunnery, the only survivor of a network of five nunneries called Amagozan (尼五山), in the city of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Rinzai school of Zen's Engaku-ji branch, and was opened by Hōjō Sadatoki in 1285. It is best known as a historic refuge for women who were abused by their husbands.<br />
It is for this reason sometimes referred to as the "Divorce Temple".<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.co.jp/search?num=10&hl=ja&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=837&bih=816&q=%E6%9D%B1%E6%85%B6%E5%AF%BA&oq=%E6%9D%B1%E6%85%B6%E5%AF%BA&gs_l=img.12..0l2j0i24l8.5109.5109.0.5828.1.1.0.0.0.0.125.125.0j1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.pU22FUSn6Go" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_G_HPgemWB693jkdW-mTtpFwyT9L990JGgNR4dNjo6b9zwkSDlphYAQPlThOfMw9Sj1T7oX6Fz7D9XrBVC5fEYqBGDT9ty-diJ8ycUOmzGs-S2yqkF5SQlPDhydi1V3qJCpi/s400/tokeiji+kamakura.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
The temple was founded in the 8th year of Koan (1285) by nun Kakusan-ni, wife of Hōjō Tokimune (1251-1284), after her husband's death. Because it was then customary for a wife to become a nun after her husband's death, she decided to open the temple and dedicate it to the memory of her husband. She also made it a refuge for battered wives.<br />
<br />
In an age when men could easily divorce their wives but wives had great difficulty divorcing their husbands, Tōkei-ji allowed women to become officially divorced after staying there for three years. Temple records show that, during the Tokugawa period alone, an estimated 2,000 women sought shelter there. The temple lost its right to concede divorce in 1873, when a new law was approved and the Court of Justice started to handle the cases.<br />
<br />
The temple remained a nunnery for over 600 years and men could not enter until 1902, when a man took the post of abbot and Tōkei-ji came under the supervision of Engaku-ji. Before then, the chief nun was always an important figure, and once it even was a daughter of Emperor Go-Daigo. Tenshū-ni, the daughter and only survivor of Toyotomi Hideyori's family, son of Hideyoshi, entered Tōkei-ji following the Siege of Osaka. Such was the nunnery's prestige that its couriers did not need to prostrate themselves when they met a Daimyo's procession.<br />

<b>Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women: </b><br />
<b>Politics, Personality, and Literary Production in the</b><br />
<b>Life of Nun Abutsu 阿仏尼 </b> (1225–1283). <br />
<br />
Abutsu crossed gender and genre barriers by writing the first career guide for Japanese noblewomen, the first female-authored poetry treatise, and the first poetic travelogue by a woman—all despite the increasingly limited social mobility for women during the Kamakura era (1185–1336). Capitalizing on her literary talent and political prowess, Abutsu rose from middling origins and single-motherhood to a prestigious marriage and membership in an esteemed literary lineage.<br />

Abutsu’s life is well documented in her own letters, diaries, and commentaries, as well as in critiques written by rivals, records of poetry events, and legal documents. Drawing on these and other literary and historiographical sources, including The Tale of Genji, author Christina Laffin demonstrates how medieval women responded to institutional changes that transformed their lives as court attendants, wives, and nuns. Despite increased professionalization of the arts, competition over sources of patronage, and rivaling claims to literary expertise, Abutsu proved her poetic capabilities through her work and often used patriarchal ideals of femininity to lay claim to political and literary authority. <br />

After the young woman had left her birthplace . . there was a young man from Kameyama, who visited the temple 善光寺 Zenko-Ji in Nagano, where he saw a beautiful nun in the temple and told her about Kameyama、so she became quite homesick. When he went back and told the story to the fishermen in Kameyama they went to the back of Mount Boyama 坊山 and found the remains of her old small temple. There was also an old tree, <b>byakushin</b> ビャクシン / 柏槙 (a kind of mountain juniper) to our day, which had sprouted from her walking stick.<br />
This tree was then found to have a disease infecting the Japanese pear trees nearby and was cut down eventually.<br />

there is another tree that has sprouted from her walking stick. It has sprouted, as she had foretold, "tsue wa iki<b>tsuku ma</b>de" 杖は活き着くまで. . . and now there is another hamlet with a pun on that nearby : <br />

The tree that sprouted from her stick was a huge yanagi 大柳 willow tree.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"> <b>Yao Bikuni</b> 八百比丘尼(やおびくに) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 78%;">- quote - </span><br />
One of the most famous folk stories concerning ningyo is called<br />
<b>Yao Bikuni</b> (八百比丘尼, "eight-hundred (years) Buddhist priestess") or <br />
<b>Happyaku Bikuni</b>. <br />
The story tells how a fisherman who lived in Wakasa Province once caught an unusual fish. In all his years fishing, he had never seen anything like it, so he invited his friends over to sample its meat.<br />
<br />
One of the guests, however, peeked into the kitchen, noticed that the head of this fish had a human face, and warned the others not to eat it. So when the fisherman finished cooking and offered his guests the ningyo's grilled flesh, they secretly wrapped it in paper and hid it on their persons so that it could be discarded on the way home.<br />
<br />
But one man, drunk on sake, forgot to throw the strange fish away. This man had a little daughter, who demanded a present when her father arrived home, and he carelessly gave her the fish. Coming to his senses, the father tried to stop her from eating it, fearing she would be poisoned, but he was too late and she finished it all. But as nothing particularly bad seemed to happen to the girl afterwards, the man did not worry about it for long.<br />
<br />
Years passed, and the girl grew up and was married. But after that she did not age any more; she kept the same youthful appearance while her husband grew old and died. After many years of perpetual youth and being widowed again and again, the woman became a nun and wandered through various countries. Finally she returned to her hometown in Wakasa, where she ended her life at an age of 800 years.<br />

<br />
Ningyo (人魚, "human fish", often translated as "<b>mermaid</b>") <br />
is a fish-like creature from Japanese folklore. <br />
Anciently, it was described with a monkey’s mouth with small teeth like a fish’s, shining golden scales, and a quiet voice like a skylark or a flute. Its flesh is pleasant-tasting, and anyone who eats it will attain remarkable longevity. However, catching a ningyo was believed to bring storms and misfortune, so fishermen who caught these creatures were said to throw them back into the sea. A ningyo washed onto the beach was an omen of war or calamity.<br />

Iwate, 釜石 <b>Kamaishi </b> - and Miyagi 南三陸町 <b>Minami Sanriku</b><br />
<br />
One day a fisherman went fishing near Hiraizumi, when <b>a strange old man living in a cave</b> gave him a strange red fish to eat. <br />
His companion 五郎三郎 <b>Gorosaburo</b> did not eat the fish meat but took it home with him and told everyone not to eat it. His young daughter of 6 years named シイラ Shiira was so tempted to eat this meat, she did not listen to her father's warning and ate it.<br />
After this Shiira never died and lived as a nun for at least 200 years. Now nobody knows where she is.<br />
The old man is said to have been 海尊仙人 <b>Kaison Sennin</b>.<br />
<br />
After the death of 平泉の秀衡 Lord Hidehira in Hiraizumi, his retainer <b>Gorosaburo</b> took his life to follow his master, as was the custom of the times. <br />
The wife of Gorosaburo took their young daughter Shiira and hid at 本吉郡の竹島 Takeshima Island in the Motoyoshi district. <br />
The <b>Heavenly Nymph at the Cave</b> of the same name at Takeshima island 竹島の天女洞 refers to the girl Shiira, who lived more than 250 years, always looking like a woman in her forties.<br />

two nuns pull up<br />
a long white radish </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 78%;"> Tr. Chris Drake </span><br />
<br />
This hokku is from the 10th month (November) of 1819, the year evoked by Issa in Year of My Life. Two nuns in the vegetable field of a Buddhist temple large enough to have a nunnery are working hard to pull daikon radishes out of the hardening early winter earth. Long, thick daikon radishes resemble giant carrots. Pictures of daikon made in Issa's age show them to be between a foot and two feet long and 4-5 inches around, though the varieties widely grown today tend to be a bit shorter. The radishes planted by the temple seem to be long ones, since it takes two gentle nuns, grasping the leafy stems at the top of the radish, to pull this one out of the ground.<br />
<br />
Issa has many hokku, often humorous, about pulling up daikon radishes, but I can't help mentioning this one from 1803:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">each time I pull<br />
a long radish up<br />
I watch the clouds </span><br />
<br />
daiko-hiki ippon-zutsu ni kumo o miru<br />
<br />
It takes so much effort to pull up a single long radish that when the radish suddenly does come out of the ground the momentum carries Issa backwards until he lands on his back in the field, giving him a nice view of the sky. I wonder if the nuns in their long robes also enjoy gazing at the clouds.<br />
<br />
Although these long white radishes are usually called daikon ('big root') in modern Japanese, in Issa's time they were commonly called daiko, which has three syllables. This is usually the pronunciation found in haikai, since daikon is four syllables long and harder to fit into lines. Even today the old pronunciation can be found in the name of a ceremony at Ryoutokuji Temple in Kyoto to give thanks to Shinran, the founder of the temple and of the True Pure Land school of Buddhism. On Dec. 9, the Daiko-daki (Daikon Cooking) Ceremony is held, during which fresh slices of daikon radish are boiled in a broth that is given to visitors to the temple and placed before an image of Shinran.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Women Living Zen: <br />
Japanese Soto Buddhist Nuns</b><br />
Paula Kane Robinson Arai </span><br />
In this study, based on both historical evidence and ethnographic data, Paula Arai shows that nuns were central agents in the foundation of Buddhism in Japan in the sixth century. They were active participants in the Soto Zen sect, and have continued to contribute to the advancement of the sect to the present day. Drawing on her fieldwork among Soto nuns, Arai demonstrates that the lives of many of these women embody classical Buddhist ideals. They have chosen to lead a strictly disciplined monastic life instead of pursuing careers or leading an unconstrained contemporary secular lifestyle. In this, and other respects, they can be shown to stand in stark contrast to their male counterparts.<br />
<br />
Paula has a long history of study of Japanese female religious; this is the result of fieldwork spent in a Soto Zen nunnery and historical analysis. The fieldwork was done in the context of the anthropological turn to "reflexivity," which is a swank academic way of saying that the book is sympathetic and involved. Accessible and very informative on the influence of women in the early development of zen and their subsequent marginalization.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Preachers, Poets, Women, and the Way<br />
Izumi Shikibu and the Buddhist Literature <br />
of Medieval Japan</b><br />
R. Keller Kimbrough </span><br />
<br />
According to a sixteenth-century Japanese commentary on the Lotus Sutra, the venerable Chinsô Kashô was once preaching on the “ten wickednesses of women” when an angry old nun stepped out from the audience and shouted, “It’s not just women who are so evil—you’ve got plenty of wickedness in you, too!” Women were reviled in much of the popular Buddhist rhetoric of medieval Japan, castigated for their “filthy femininity,” but their low spiritual status was in fact frequently contested. This dispute over the place of women in Buddhism was often played out in the realm of medieval preachers’ and storytellers’ apocryphal tales of the lives, deaths, and inevitable religious awakenings of prominent female literary figures of an earlier age.<br />
<br />
Inspired by the folklorist Yanagita Kunio’s groundbreaking work of the early 1930s, Preachers, Poets, Women, and the Way explores the ways in which such fictional and usually scandalous stories of the Heian women authors Izumi Shikibu, Ono no Komachi, Murasaki Shikibu, and Sei Shônagon were employed in the competitive preaching and fund-raising of late-Heian and medieval Japan. The book draws upon a broad range of medieval textual and pictorial sources to describe the diverse and heretofore little-studied roles of itinerant and temple-based preacher-entertainers in the formation and dissemination of medieval literary culture. By plumbing the medieval roots of Heian women poets’ contemporary fame, Preachers, Poets, Women, and the Way illuminates a forgotten world of doctrinal and institutional rivalry, sectarian struggle, and passionately articulated belief, revealing the processes by which Izumi Shikibu and her peers came to be celebrated as the national cultural icons that they are today.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Women in Japanese Religions</b><br />
Barbara R. Ambros </span><br />
<br />
Scholars have widely acknowledged the persistent ambivalence with which the Japanese religious traditions treat women. Much existing scholarship depicts Japan’s religious traditions as mere means of oppression. But this view raises a question: How have ambivalent and even misogynistic religious discourses on gender still come to inspire devotion and emulation among women?<br />
<br />
In Women in Japanese Religions, Barbara R. Ambros examines the roles that women have played in the religions of Japan. An important corrective to more common male-centered narratives of Japanese religious history, this text presents a synthetic long view of Japanese religions from a distinct angle that has typically been discounted in standard survey accounts of Japanese religions.<br />
<br />
Drawing on a diverse collection of writings by and about women, Ambros argues that ambivalent religious discourses in Japan have not simply subordinated women but also given them religious resources to pursue their own interests and agendas. Comprising nine chapters organized chronologically, the book begins with the archeological evidence of fertility cults and the early shamanic ruler Himiko in prehistoric Japan and ends with an examination of the influence of feminism and demographic changes on religious practices during the “lost decades” of the post-1990 era. By viewing Japanese religious history through the eyes of women, Women in Japanese Religions presents a new narrative that offers strikingly different vistas of Japan’s pluralistic traditions than the received accounts that foreground male religious figures and male-dominated institutions.<br />

<b><span style="color: #993399; font-size: 130%;">Musashino Plain 武蔵野</span></b><br />
<br />
The Kantō Plain (関東平野 Kantō heiya)<br />
is the largest plain in Japan located in the Kanto Region of central Honshū. The total area 17,000 km2 covers more than half of the Region extending over Tokyo, Saitama Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture, and Tochigi Prefecture.<br />
<br />
A collection of plateaus constitute a large part of the plain. Among them are the Ōmiya, <b>Musashino</b>, Sagamino, and Jōsō Plateaus. These large plateaus are divided into smaller ones by shallow river valleys. One of the common features of the plateaus is that their surfaces are covered with a thick layer of loam of volcanic origin. Volcanic ashes from surrounding volcanoes, Mounts Asama, Haruna, and Akagi to the north and Mounts Hakone and Fuji to the south, are thought to have been deposited on these plateaus.<br />
<br />
Among the plateaus, the <b>Musashino Plateau</b> has the largest stretch of land, extending from the western edge of Ōme to the eastern edge of Yamanote which borders alluvial plains of the Arakawa and Sumida Rivers. Its elevation gradually declines from west to east, measuring 190 m at Ōme and 20 m at Yamanote. <br />

Musashino in the Edo period 武蔵野図<br />

<br />
<b>MUSASHINO</b><br />
<b>Coppice Woods And Sustainable Recycling Agriculture</b><br />
From west to northwest of Tokyo spreads a vast plateau-like plain called Musashino Uplands. Today the plain has altered to an ever sprawing suburban residential area so that its potential nature is not clearly observable. The uplands are a part of Kanto Plain, but a little higher than lower alluvial plain, so their natural enviroinment exhibits a rather different look from the typical farm villages with rice paddies. <br />
<br />
Musashino is a tableland where no waters are found, not even a tiny stream. You might be surprised since Japan is a water-rich country. But not here. Rain falls, of course, but it will be completely absorbed in the earth and no trace will be left. People were forced to make great effort to make living in the old days. Actually people did not live here until about 300 years ago; unimaginable from today's crowded condition.<br />
<br />
<b>Well-Known Coppice Woods</b><br />
What made Muasashino region well-known were its coppice woods called zokibayashi. In Meiji period (about 100 years ago), writers found beauty in this deciduous woods. They praised its tranquility, especially in the winter, when leaves have fallen and they could ramble freely through the woods. <br />
<br />

<br />
Musashino's coppice woods are fun to walk through. First because unlike woods in other parts of Japan, they are completely flat. You do not need to gasp on slopes nor sweat heavily. Second, their floors were scrupusously swept, so the ground was smooth and easy to walk. Third, the area's population was scarce in the old days, and the inside the woods it should have been very nice and tranquil.<br />

Written after 貞亨元年, Basho age 41 or older<br />
<br />
Basho was seeing off Toosan トウ山, a disciple from Ogaki, Gifu. <br />
岐阜大垣. He was on his way back to Ogaki and Basho write this hokku for him.<br />
The name of the disciple was maybe Toosan 塔山 Tosan.<br />
Now in late autumn, his friend will have a pleasant journey back home.<br />
<i>sawaru </i>can be written with two Chinese characters, <br />
「触る- touch 」 or 「障る - hinder」, with a slightly different touch to the meaning.<br />

The Hut of the Phantom Dwelling </span><br />
<br />
Spring is over, but I can tell it hasn't been gone for long. Azaleas continue in bloom, wild wisteria hangs from the pine trees, and a cuckoo now and then passes by. I even have greetings from the jays, and woodpeckers that peck at things, though I don't really mind-in fact, I rather enjoy them. I feel as though my spirit had raced off to China to view the scenery in Wu or Chu, or as though I were standing beside the lovely Xiao and Xiang rivers or Lake Dongting. The mountain rises behind me to the southwest and the nearest houses are a good distance away. <br />
<br />
Fragrant southern breezes blow down from the mountain tops, and north winds, dampened by the lake, are cool. I have Mount Hie and the tall peak of Hira, and this side of them the pines of Karasaki veiled in mist, as well as a castle, a bridge, and boats fishing on the lake. I hear the voice of the woodsman making his way to Mount Kasatori, and the songs of the seedling planters in the little rice paddies at the foot of the hill. <br />
<br />
Fireflies weave through the air in the dusk of evening, clapper rails tap out their notes-there's surely no lack of beautiful scenes. Among them is Mikamiyama, which is shaped rather like Mount Fuji <br />
and <b>reminds me of my old house in Musashino</b>, <br />
while Mount Tanakami sets me to counting all the poets of ancient times who are associated with it. Other mountains include Bamboo Grass Crest, Thousand Yard Summit, and Skirt Waist. There's Black Ford village, where the foliage is so dense and dark, and the men who tend their fish weirs, looking exactly as they're described in the Man'yoshu. <br />

<span style="font-size: 78%;">quote</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Shishi-odoshi (鹿威し,</span> lit. means "scare the deer" in Japanese). In a wide sense, it refers to Japanese devices made to scare away birds and beasts damaging agriculture, such as the kakashi (scarecrow), naruko (clappers) and sōzu). In a narrower sense, it is synonymous with sōzu.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sōzu (soozu 添水)</span><br />
is a type of water fountain used in Japanese gardens. It consists of a segmented tube, usually of bamboo, pivoted to one side of its balance point. At rest, its heavier end is down and resting against a rock. A trickle of water into the upper end of the tube accumulates and eventually moves the tube's centre of gravity past the pivot, causing the tube to rotate and dump out the water. The heavier end then falls back against the rock, making a sharp sound, and the cycle repeats. This noise is intended to startle any herbivores such as deer or boars which may be grazing on the plants in the garden. <br />

shishi いのしし - 猪<br />
can also be read as WILD BOAR, so maybe the farmers used this tool for real to scare away the deer and boar during harvest time of the rice? ! <br />
Now, in our area, they use electric fencing for that, how un-poetic !<br />

This is the noise of Shishi Odoshi. <br />
Scare deer in Japan. <br />
A haiku is a fitting introduction to the simple instrument that is the Shishi Odoshi, or Japanese deer scarer. Consisting of running water, a long bamboo collection tube and a pivot, the instrument is an elegant demonstration of physics from a time before Newtonian Mechanics had begun to approach the theories of gravity and momentum.<br />

<span style="font-size:78%;"> Tr. Chris Drake </span><br />
<br />
This hokku was written in the 11th month (December) of 1811, when Issa was in Edo and the area just east of Edo. Iosaki was an area of houses and farms on the outskirts of Edo, near the large Sumida River. A nearly contemporary picture shows a couple of streams flowing through the area that presumably flow into the Sumida, and the plovers must be from the river, making short trips to Iosaki. <br />
Issa seems to wonder if the main reason they visit is to play around with the friendly dogs there. Plovers tend to fly in flocks, so perhaps they feel safe flying and hopping near the dogs. <br />

... 豊漁を祈願して「五百崎」を同音の「魚崎」に改めたという話 ...<br />

<br />
Jingu Kogo passed here on her war with Korea. More than 500 ships were anchored in the bay. <br />
So the place name was changed (this is a pun in Japanese) with 500<br />
五百崎(いおざき)"the cape of the five hundred"<br />
<br />
Another legend has this:<br />
Suddenly there were no more fish at the cape for the fishermen to catch.<br />
Therefore they asked the lord to change the name to "Five Hundred" for a better catch ... and it worked in their favor.<br />
<br />
IO (500) sounds very close to UO (fish)<br />

<br />
Hino has a long history. <br />
The earth here was first tilled some 2,000 years ago. The town also produced a number of Omi Shonin, or Omi merchants, businessmen who created wealth through commerce during the Edo period (1600-1867). The <b>Omi merchants</b> ran their businesses in the spirit of sanpo-yoshi, which meant, <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">“good for the buyer, <br />
good for the seller, and <br />
good for society,” </span><br />
<br />
always remembering to share their wealth with the towns where they operated.<br />
<br />
aking a hint from sanpo-yoshi, the Omi-Hino Council for the Promotion of Rural Life Experiences offers heartwarming and uplifting exchange with Hino residents in natural settings. Based on the motto, <br />
“Renewed confidence and pride to the host (the seller)! Life to the community (society)! Memorable experiences to those who visit (the buyer)!” its program offers tourists a glimpse into the heart of rural Japan.<br />

<br />
また日野商人は、相互扶助と効率の面から「日野大當番(おおとうばん)」という独自集団を組織し、主要街道の宿場町に「日野商人定宿」という指定旅館を設け、行商の便宜と安全の確保を図りました。この大当番は、幕府の庇護のもとに設けられた組織で、大名などへの貸付金の返済が滞った場合には、幕府の威光のもと徴収できる特権を持っていました。このため大当番には、日野のみならず近在の近江商人たちがこぞって参加しました。<br />

Hino merchants came into being a bit later than the <br />
<b>Hachiman merchants</b> 八幡商人, in 1690.<br />
<br />
They were allowed to travel the highroads and have special lodgings for their group.<br />

八幡商人にやや遅れて登場したのが日野商人です。琵琶湖岸から遠い日野にも、中世から日野市があり、蒲生氏の城下町として楽市令が布かれ、諸役免除の特典を与えられ、商工業が栄えました。蒲生氏郷の伊勢松坂や会津への領地替え以後も、蒲生氏と日野町民の関係は密接でしたが、寛永年間蒲生家の断絶により日野は一時活況を失いました。<br />

Anyway, the two reach the river Irumagawa, but the daimyo does not remember where the shallows to cross are. He asks a man on the other side, who tells him to go further upstream.<br />
BUT for some reason, the daimyo begins to wade into the river right here and now, getting into deep water.<br />

This hokku is from the middle or end of the 4th month (May) in 1814. A few days earlier, on 4/11, Issa got married to his first wife, Kiku, and he was in or around his hometown during this month. The Iruma River runs just northwest of Edo (now Tokyo) and was far from Issa's hometown, so this hokku must be based on a memory of something Issa saw when he was traveling around the Edo area in earlier years. Perhaps Issa is using a memory of vigorous new bamboos by the river to write about his new life with his wife.<br />
<br />
In the hokku the year's new bamboos have grown tall and have put out leaves by the end of the 4th lunar month (late May), making existing groves thicker and denser. The Iruma River begins in mountains and runs though a plain with low mountains visible to the west in what is now Saitama Prefecture. Many mountains are visible from the river throughout its whole 23-km. length. <br />
<br />
When Issa visited the Iruma River, the new bamboos must have become so tall and extensive, enlarging existing groves and creating new groves along the river where he stood, that the mountains were no longer visible. Space must have seemed more intimate, and the river dominated the landscape. With mountains no longer looking down on the river, the dynamic new bamboos have rather suddenly created a new riverscape. The words "nothing but" aren't in the hokku, but they seem to be implied. <br />

Mount Ibuki is the highest peak in the Ibuki Mountains, which stretch from north to south along the border of Shiga Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture. Located at the southern end of the mountain chain with the Suzuka Mountains not to far to the south, a small plain at the foot of this mountain became one of the most important strategic points throughout Japanese history.<br />
