Although Kanamari and the others arrived in Kominato, the sun had already set and the moon had not yet risen, even though it was a summer day. When I counted the bells of Tanjoji, it was around 10pm.
・By the way, Kominato’s birth temple is located in Gankawa village. Disciples built Tanjoji because it was the birthplace of Nichiren Shonin. Since this Nagasa area was the birthplace of the founder, there were many devoted followers of the Nichiren sect, and they did not mix with other sects.
Now Kanamari started to carry out what he had planned in advance. “First, let’s gather the villagers,” he set fire to a bamboo grove near Tanjoji. It wasn’t a great way to burn, but it was a pitch black night, so the light of the sun rose into the sky, the birds sleeping in the treetops began to make noise, and the priests of Tanjoji Temple kept ringing the bells all the time.
While doing so, the villagers in various places woke up in surprise and looked up at the sky outside.
“There’s an incident at Tanjoji! Everyone hurry up!”
Villagers hold sticks, peasants hold farming tools, fishermen and boatmen, cats and scoops scramble to get to the temple, panting. However, when I got there, there was nothing inside the temple, only a small bamboo grove nearby that was on fire. The night is quiet and windless, and the village is far away with no huts in between. By the time the crowd had gathered, the fire had nearly died down, and the bells had stopped ringing.
The people were stunned, and some people untied the towels they had wrapped around their heads and wiped their sweat.
“Who the hell caused this? Could it be that the flames of the open fire spread? Without knowing it, everyone was woken up in the quiet night, and people from far away ran more than 10 kilometers as if they were flying. I’m hungry, and I’m hungry, so what should I do?”
“I’m glad nothing happened, though.”
There were also people who laughed and continued to complain.
Kanamari emerges from the unburnt bamboo grove, clearing her throat. Everyone who saw this all gathered and said, ‘Human? Oni? ’, Kanamari raised his hand and said,
“Don’t worry, everyone. I’ve been waiting for you here since evening.”
explained. People looked around again,
“Well then, he’s the one who misled us with his nuisance. Catch him and tie him up!”
There was something like that, but Kanamari stepped forward without making a fuss,
“If you don’t know the details, it’s natural to think so, but I didn’t set fire to gather you here for no reason. First of all, I will introduce myself.”
Quiet everyone and Kanamari says,
“Yamashita has done me a favor and my politics have become rotten, but I am a former vassal who pledged allegiance to the original ruler, Jinyo. My name is Kanamari Takayoshi.When Jinyo was alive, I tried to persuade him, but he didn’t listen to me, so I reluctantly withdrew and went on a long journey.When I came back, I was worried that my country had been taken over. In order to defeat Yamashita, he secretly returned to his hometown, changed his name and body, and waited for the right time, but there were too many enemies. Both Lu and Anzai are humble at heart, and Yamashita is not ashamed of himself.
continue,
“Better yet, I’m alive, so I can’t get my hands on it. When you die and become a ghost, you may be able to return the grudge. Let’s cut our stomachs for that.』
“At the time I was thinking that, Satomi Yoshizane escaped from the Battle of Yuki and drifted to Shirahama to visit Anzai and the others. I happened to see them on the banks of the river in Shirahashi, so I called out to them, and even though they were young, I just talked a little bit, and it was good. I understood that I was the best samurai in my life.”
Kanamari continues,
“Many of the samurai who besieged Yuki were either killed or captured, and there should be few of them unharmed, but I’m not the only one lucky enough to have made it through these dangerous places safely. Satomi-sama will be a god of fortune for those of you who have been terribly oppressed by that traitor Yamashita on a regular basis, and who do not miss this opportunity and follow Satomi Yoshizane-sama to destroy Yamashita is an outcast. At that time, misfortune will come to all of you.On the other hand, those who subjugate the traitors for the sake of the country and respond to this volunteer army will be good people.Their descendants will prosper for a long time to escape from the hard times.This operation will take time. Even if I tried to convey it to everyone, the information would inevitably leak out.I had no choice but to light a fire and gather everyone in this bamboo grove.It was definitely not a simple idea.”
explained Kanamari enthusiastically.
