...<b> Legend about 小倉八坂神社 Kokura Yasaka Jinja, Fukuoka </b><br />At the shrine 小倉八坂神社 Kokura Yasaka Jinja there is a legend about the beginning of the festival.<br />Once Lord 細川越中守忠興 Hosokawa Tadaoki (1563 - 1646) went hunting with hawks and took a rest at 不動山 Mount Fudoyama.<br />There was one small stone shrine and when Tadaoki placed his staff against it, it opened and one 霊鷹 sacred hawk flew out of it. The hawk kicked out both eyes of Tadaoki. He felt great pain, went home soon but would not heal at all. He realized it was the punishment of Gozu Tenno and had a shrine built in his honor. After a performance of a ritual Kagura, 神楽湯立, one eye begun to heal. He had 能興行 another ritual of Noh performed and the other eye begun to heal too. <br />.<br />https://edoflourishing.blogspot.com/2015/10/kamimeguro-district.html<br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425704564220359420.post-29508144495175791322018-03-12T22:01:58.061-07:002018-03-12T22:01:58.061-07:00Tokyo
