第5回 富岡八幡宮

 私はゴールデンウィークに江東区にある芭蕉記念館と富岡八幡宮へ行った。

 芭蕉記念館はかつて松尾芭蕉が住んでいた芭蕉庵の近くにある博物館で、主に松尾芭蕉の記録や江戸の名所についての史料を展示している博物館である。

 私はそこをさっと見て隅田川を渡り、富岡八幡宮へと向かった。

 

1,富岡八幡宮とは?

 富岡八幡宮とは、東京では十本の指に数えられる神社で、深川の祭りや力士が新横綱の土俵入りが行われることで知られている。
 また、2017年に富岡八幡宮の宮司が元宮司の弟に日本刀で刺殺され、弟は「死んでもここ(富岡八幡宮)に残り、怨霊となって私の要求に異を唱えた宮司総代とその子孫を永久に祟り続けます」という呪いの遺書を残して死んだ事件の舞台にもなっている。

 本来は富岡八幡宮に行く予定は無かったが、新潟に住んでいる友人が、「富岡八幡宮の怨霊事件で実際に怨霊の効力で観光客が減ったか見てきて欲しい」と依頼してきたので、見に行くことにした。

 

 鳥居をくぐり抜けると、日光猿軍団の猿芸をやっていたので少し見てきた。見事なもので、調教師さんの話も面白かったので、つい見入ってしまった。だが、本来の目的は「富岡八幡宮事件の怨霊の効力の調査」と「参拝」なので、足早に手水舎(てみずしゃ)へ向かって身を清めて本殿へと向かった。

上の画像のように、紅い丹が塗られた柱にところどころに装飾され、金箔の張られた彫刻が本殿の荘厳さを際立たせている。 上の画像のように、紅い丹が塗られた柱にところどころに装飾され、金箔の張られた彫刻が本殿の荘厳さを際立たせている。

参拝が終わった後、おみくじを引いた。
結果は「中吉」で、大吉を引いたときほどの嬉しさは無いが、嬉しかった。

 近くにあった休憩所で休んでいると、鳩が三羽降りてきた。 鳩は私の目の前で上の画像のようなトライアングルを描いた後に、私のいる休憩所に向かって、小さな歩幅でトコトコと歩いてきた。 私はこれを「吉兆」ととらえた。
なぜなら、八幡社において鳩は、祭神である八幡神の使いとされるからである。

清和源氏の氏神として源頼信が京都の石清水八幡宮から本拠地である鎌倉に勧請(かんじょう)したとされる「鶴岡八幡宮」という神社があるが、画像にある看板に書かれている「八幡宮」の「八」の字が、鳩の形になっている。
ここからもわかるように、古くから八幡宮にとっての鳩は、「神聖な神の遣い」であったことがわかる。
話は戻るが、富岡八幡宮の参拝客は思っていた以上に少なかった。
後にそのことを友人に話したところ、「怨霊の効力だな」といって、死後まで残る人間の執念に畏れを感じていた。

  10. Awesome blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are

  11. This is the perfect webpage for anybody who really wants to find out about this topic.
    You realize a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you
    (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic which has been written about for many years.
    Great stuff, just excellent!

  12. I believe what you published made a great deal of sense.
    However, what about this? suppose you were to create a awesome title?

    I am not saying your information is not solid, but suppose you added something to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean 第5回 富岡八幡宮 – とき散歩 is
    kinda plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create article titles to grab viewers to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
    get people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.

    I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new
    to the whole thing. Do you have any points
    for inexperienced blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

  15. Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be
    at the net the simplest thing to understand of. I say
    to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other folks
    consider issues that they just do not understand about.
    You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having side effect , folks could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  16. Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    いいね

  17. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I feel I would never understand.
    It sort of feels too complicated and extremely huge
    for me. I am having a look forward to your subsequent put up, I’ll
    attempt to get the dangle of it!
