板東観音巡礼の26番目として、この32番札所を参拝しました。これまでで指折りに「歴史を感じられる」素晴らしい寺でした。いすみ市を訪れたのは久しぶりでした。残念だったのは、行程で度々見かけた、景観を壊すソーラーパネル。この寺がある周囲の山同様、自然環境を大切にしてもらいたいものです。

Chiba Pref. Kamogawashi Kominato 183

Tanjoji Temple was built in 1276 in the present-day Kominato area of the city of Kamogawa, the birthplace of Nichiren, the founder of Nichiren Buddhism. It was moved to its present location after an earthquake in 1703. In 1758, a fire destroyed all the temple buildings except Niomon Gate. This surviving structure has been designated a Prefectural Tangible Cultural Property. On February 16 of each year, a festival called Shuso Goko Tan-e is held to commemorate Nichiren's birthday. A portable shrine with an image of Nichiren as a child is carried around in a procession called O-Neri Gyoretsu.

This is the Buddhist temple of the Nichiren sect built in the place where Nichiren was born. This is a sacred place located in Kominato, in Southern Chiba, facing the Pacific Ocean. Nichiren was born...

誕生寺に行った後で乗船してみました。船はだいたい４０分おきに出航してますがお客が少ないと間引きすることもあるような話でした。出航して５分ほどで鯛が見られるというポイントに到着、船員が餌（イワシ）を捲くとたくさん魚が寄ってきます。少しだけ鯛もいますが鯛以上に大きいメジナの方が目につきます。このポイントで５-６分停船してから付近の岩等の名所を船上から眺めて戻ります。所要時間３０分ということでし...

Chiba Pref. Kamogawashi Hiroba 1413

This temple is in Hiroba, Kamogawa City. It was built to mourn two of Nichiren's disciples who lost their lives at one of the four great persecutions of Nichiren believers due to assaults from the estate head, TojoKagenobu at the sacred Komatsubara persecution site. The over 1000-year-old tree, Koshinnomaki, can be seen here. It is from this tree that Kishimojin, the goddess of childbirth, was said to descend to save Nichiren during the persecution.

寺名の由来は鏡忍坊日暁にちなむ。彼は日蓮とともに訪れたこの地で、地頭に襲撃され討死したが、日蓮は槙の樹上に現れた鬼子母神のおかげで一命をとりとめた。いわゆる小松原の法難である。後日、日蓮の命でこの寺が建立されたそうだ。そして、その槙の木が境内に現存し、[降神の槙]と呼ばれている。かなり独特な樹形のうえ、幹が布でグルグル巻きにされていたり、支柱や竹の笠のがあり異彩を放っている。一見の価値。

Chiba Pref. Kamogawashi Amatsu 2954

This shrine is dedicated to seven main gods including Amaterasu Sume-okami, Toyouke no Okami, Yae Kotoshironushi no Kami and Oyamazumi no Kami. It was originally dedicated to Yae Kotoshironushi no Kami, but Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed for the spirit of Ise to come in the Kamakura period (1185?1333) and enshrined together, so the shrine is also called Boshu Ise no Miya. The maruba-chisha-no-ki (round-leaved lettuce tree) on the west side of the premises are sub-tropical tall deciduous trees, and because it is said they are of extremely high value as the northernmost trees growing naturally in the wild, they have been designated as a prefectural natural monument.
