天神,地蔵,川の主

男が、嫁が産気づいたので産婆を呼びに行ったが、その途中で天神さんが地蔵さんに今度生まれるのが男の子で15歳で大井川の主の餌食になるというのを聞いた。子供が15歳になったとき、江戸へ行く用事ができたが、父の言うとおり大井川に1升3合の餅を播いたら83までの寿命を与えられた。

昔、お婆さんが座敷の真中で白く光る変なものを見つけた。それは1粒の米で、餅について食べることになったが、団子にしたら転がっていって地蔵さんに食べられた。そのかわりに地蔵から搗いても搗いても搗ききれない米をもらい、餅を搗くとたくさん出来たので村の人にわけてやったという。

- another legend with azuki mochi 小豆餅

Yamagata 山形県, Asahimachi 朝日町



yodare Jizo よだれ地蔵
よだれ地蔵様は、よだれや疳を治してくれる子育て地蔵です。今でも遠くから参拝に来る人が大勢います。祈願の時は小豆餅を供え、地蔵様の口元にあんこを塗り、小豆餅断ちを約束し、治った時は地蔵様に帽子やよだれかけ、鐘の緒とともにお菓子を供えてお礼参りをします。
江戸時代の中頃、楯岡から運ばれていた地蔵様の荷車が突然動かなくなり、地蔵様が「私はこの美しい地にとどまり、民衆を救いたい」と言いました。村人達は大喜びし、お堂を建てて祭ったのだそうです。

awamochi 粟餅を食った地蔵様 Jizo Bosatsu eating Millet Mochi




Once upon a time,
the kind and honest 正兵衛 Shobei and the greedy 慾兵衛 Yokubei lived in a village. The poor Shobei, who could not afford Mochi made from white rice, pounded some of millet and offered it to the deities.
His neighbour Yokubei was quite rich and pounded white Mochi.
Shobei wanted to make some offerings to the Jizo statue by the river, so he put some Millet Mochi in his bag and took a bucket to get New Year's Water by the river. He walked along the river, but when he wanted to put the Mochi up as an offering for Jizo, he could not find them any more. They must have slipped out of his pocket somehow, so he apologized profoundly to Jizo.
And well, Jizo answered:
"I just ate your Mochi which have come floating past. They were quite delicious!"
When Shobei looked more closely, he could see some powder around the mouth of the Jizo statue.
So Shobei thanked Jizo with all his heart and went home.
On the way home his bucked suddenly felt very heavy and when he looked inside at his home, he found that it was filled with small and large gold coins.
When Yokubei heard the story from Shobei, he got all envious and went down to the river himself. He stuffed some of his white Mochi into the mouth of the statue and then hurried home.
But his bucket was filled with heavy stones and horse excrements . . .

kasa Jizo 笠地蔵 Six Jizo with straw hats

冬の夜、山奥でお婆さんと二人で暮らしていたお爺さんが、菅笠を売りに町へ行ったおり、雪をかぶっていたお地蔵さんに笠をかぶせたところ、そのお地蔵さんが恩返しに餅をついてくれた。
To thank Jizo, Grandfather made some Mochi for him.

- quote from the end of the story -
Since there was more food than the old couple could eat, they had the mice invite their animal friends over, and everybody prepared the food together. Then the old man stacked the boxes of special New Year's food and rice cakes that they had made and took them to the Jizo-sama statues.
"Jizo-sama. Now I can make you an offering. Thank you."

Awamochi Jizo 粟餅地蔵 Jizo eating millet Mochi
During the 南北朝時 Nanbokuchoera (around 1500) there was a person with a lantern standing in front of 奥山城 Okuyama Castle every night. A servant thought this rather strange and went looking, but he fell asleep soon. When he woke up he saw something very strange, took his sword and cut it into two parts, the he run back home immediately. When he went back the next morning, he saw a statue of Jizo Bosatsu cut into two. This Jizo had been erected to prevent wild boars from doing harm to the nearby fields.
Since the servant had cut the statue, the man with the lantern had not been seen again. 奥山六郎次郎朝藤 Lord Okuyama Rokuro Jiro Asafuji had the statue re-built and placed it there again, but next morning it was split into two again. Every time the statue was re-built, this happened again.
The name of this statue is not quite clear.

昔、
富山湾の海辺の町に、お花という十ほどの娘がまま母と住んでおった。
お花は毎日、寺の地蔵堂の前でもちを売っておった。まま母はいつも、
「売れ残ったら、家には入れんよ」
ときつく言っておったもんで、お花は一つでもようけ売ろうとがんばった。
けれど、きょうのようにてんで運のない日もある。日も暮れようというのに、もち箱はまだズシリと重たいのだ。腹が減り、疲れて肩も首も痛くて、お花はもち箱の上に頭をたれた。小さな鼻先にもち粉がつき、ほわん、とよいにおいがする。お花は思わず、もちをぱくり、ぱくりとほおばった。
ああ、とためいきをついたそのときじゃ。
「こら、お花! 売り物に手を出すとは盗人と同じ。いつも盗み食いしておったな!」
まま母はお花にかけ寄り、お花の頭といい背中といい、めちゃくちゃに打ち据えた。



「ちがいます! お地蔵さんにちこうて初めてです。もう二度とせんから、堪忍して」
「ほぅ。ほんなら、お地蔵さんが手を出してそのもちを食べなさったら、許してやってもいいがねぇ」
お花は、お地蔵さんの胸にかじりついた。
「お地蔵さん、お助けくださいませ」
すると、うす笑いをしたお地蔵さんの手がにゅうっとのびて、箱の中のもちをひとつとり、むしゃむしゃとたいらげたんじゃ。
まま母の驚いたのなんのったら。口をあんぐり開けて腰を抜かしたまま手を合わせ、
「お、お許しくだされ。もうまま子いじめはいたしません。おらが悪うございました」
と謝った。以来、まま母は人が変わったようにやさしくなったとさ。

. Buckwheat noodles (soba 蕎麦) .
Daruma eating buckwheat noodles


soba kui Jizo そば喰地蔵 / 蕎麦喰地蔵尊 Jizo eating Buckwheat noodles
at temple 方広寺 Hoko-Ji, Kyoto - Karasudera 専定寺(烏寺)

The statue of this Jizo is about 1 meter. It dates back to the Muromachi period. It is also called
shishi Jizo 獅子地蔵 "Jizo the Lion".
Jizo holds the ritual stick 錫状, in the left hand the wish-fulfilling jewel 宝珠.
The left foot of the seated statue hangs down to the earth.

In the Edo period, around 1700, a man called 伏見屋左近 Fushimiya Sakon from 三条寺町 Sanjo-Ji ward came here every day to offer chrysanthemum flowers.
Once he had business in Edo and had to cross the river 駿河の大井川 Oigawa in Suruga. But the river was flooding and could not be crossed. Since Sakon had to return really urgent, he jumped head first into the river trying to swim. He struggeled in the floods when suddenly a lion passed by, took Sakon on his back and brought him safely to the other shore. Then the lion disappeared in the sky.
That night, a priest appeared in the dream of Sakon, telling him he was the Jizo of 烏寺Karasudera. To show his gratitude for the daily offerings of flowers he had changed into a lion and saved him.
When Sakon woke up, there was a statue of Jizo, about 9 cm tall, beside his pillow.
When he finally reached Kyoto, we went to the temple Karasudera and showed the statue to the priest. The priest told him it was the small statue inside the main statue (tainaibutsu 胎内仏).
To show his gratitude, Sakon now built a special hall for this Jizo.
(according to the old records 拾遺都名所図会)

This temple is Nr. 43 on a pilgrim tour to 48 Jizo Temples.
洛陽四十八願所第43番札所

(Still trying to figure out the relation to eating buckwheat noodles.)



Senjooji 専定寺 Senjo-Ji
is also called Karasudera. It is located in the West of Hoko-Ji.

another legend from Edo, now Tokyo Nerima  江戸 練馬区

延命蕎麦喰地蔵尊奉安所




そば喰い僧の伝説といえば、「蕎麦喰地蔵尊」も有名だ。毎夜、そばを食べに来る高貴な僧を不思議に思って、そば屋のあるじが跡をつけてみると、地蔵堂の中にすっと消えた。その夜、枕元に地蔵のお告げがあり、毎日のそばの礼と、一家の安全を約束された。

以来、あるじは地蔵様にそばを供えたので、江戸中に悪疫が流行した折りも、一家は難を免れた。この地蔵尊のある寺は、幾度かの移転ののち浅草田島町に移り、現在は練馬区にあると資料にあった。資料に記されていた寺の名は「誓願寺」。

ところが、地図で見たかぎりその番地にはその名の寺がない。あるのは、十一ヶ寺といって○○院というのが一一ある寺だ。ダメで元々のつもりで電車に乗った。西武線豊島園駅。遊園地に向かう子供連れや若いカップルを横目でにらみながら、彼らとは反対方向に進む。

にわかに線香のにおいがしてきた。門の看板を見る。やはり「誓願時」の文字はない。山門を入ると道路を隔てて左に五つ、右に六つの「院」がある。目当ての地蔵様はどこにあるのか、右の院を訪ね、左の院をのぞく。院内のどこにあるとも知れないし、大きさや形も分からないから、くまなく探し回る。「ここにもない…、やはり誓願寺のある所なのか」と諦めかけて、あと二つとなったとき地蔵様の社が目に飛び込んだ。山門から向かって左の一番奥の「九品院」の脇に地蔵様がいた。
門には「延命蕎麦喰地蔵尊奉安所」とある。間違いない。干しそばが供えられている。来た甲斐があった。ありがたい。思わず手を合わせた。

九品院のソバ食い地蔵

Edo 江戸期所在地 / 田島山誓願寺 塔頭西慶院(現九品院)(浅草北寺町)
現所在地    / 誓願寺(府中市紅葉丘) 九品院(練馬区練馬4丁目)

練馬の九品院
江戸時代、浅草広小路にあったそば屋・尾張屋に夜ごとそばを食べにくる僧がいて、主人は手厚くそばを振舞っていた。ある夜、そっと後をつけてみると誓願寺西慶院の地蔵堂に姿を消した。その夜の夢枕に現れてそば振舞の礼と一家を守ることを告げたという。尾張屋はその後も地蔵にそばを供えて、一家は栄えたという。この話がつたわって、地蔵尊にそばを供養するようになって蕎麦喰地蔵尊として有名になったという。明治時代に西慶院は同宗門の九品院と合弁し、関東大震災後に地蔵尊共に練馬の九品院に移っている。

There are special prayer groups for the Deity of the Mountain、Yama no Shinko 山の神講.
When a new home is built, the children all come together and run to the 大日堂 Hall of Dainichi, clad only in a loincloth (and nowadays white pants) and carrying thick ropes. At the Hall their leader puts a rope he had carried around his waist on the roots of the sacred 松の木 pine tree.



Then all the other kids put their シト / つと (shito) tsuto there. Then they all go into the hall and smear a special sacred paste made from rice, water and sake, called shitogi シトキ / しとぎ on their bodies. This act signifies to become a Jizo.
The Deity of the Mountains is seen of a "Monster of the Night" (yoru no mamono 夜の魔物).
This ceremony is supposed to appease him and keep the children safe.

Kazafuki Jizoo son 風吹地蔵尊 Jizo from Kazafuki
The 16th day of the 3rd lunar month is the day of Jizo at the local temple. Already one week before the festival the impatient children from the local grammar school come here to play. During that time they are allowed to do anything they like with the Jizo.
On the "floating festival" day, Toonagashi トーナガシ, the water of the canal is stopped for a while, then the statue of Jizo, all naked, gets a rope around its head and is lowered into the water to let flow. The children have to pull the rope to hold it back.
Then one day someone washed the Jizo on the festival day and brought him to the shrine 神社. But after that his grandmother became ill and had to stay in bed.

Roku Jizo 六地蔵尊 The Six Jizo
During the Edo period, there was an epidemic in the region. So the local Lord Nezu 祢津 had six Jizo taken to Edo to quell the spread of the disease. The statues were very heavy and difficult to transport over the many passes, especially 碓氷峠 Usui Pass in Gunma.
But on his way back when the disease had gone and he crossed the pass again, the Jizo statues felt really light.

He took his sword and cut off his nose, shouting "If Jizo has a soul 魂, he should now come here and show it to me"!
But after that misfortune happened constantly to his family. When the clan was almost at the end of its wits, they begun to offer rice to Jizo every year on the 24th day of the 7th lunar month.
The 24th day of each month is considered the ennichi 縁日 prayer day for Jizo.

香川県観音寺市八幡町1-2-7 / 1 Chome-2-7 Yahatachō, Kanonji-shi, Kagawa

- quote
On March 21, 703, Nisshō, a monk in the Yogacara School, had a vision here. Seven colorful clouds arose on the western horizon and hovered over the mountain of this temple (Mt. Kotohiki). Suddenly a ship floated on the sea and the god Hachiman appeared to Nissh( playing a Koto and said, I am the god Hachiman himself, and I will stay here to protect the Buddha's Dharma and the ruler's law.

Nisshō dedicated the ship and its Koto to the temple. Later, Kōbō Daishi painted the Kotobiki (harp playing) Hachiman in the form of Amida Butsu and dedicated that to the temple as well. The picture of Amida is now a National Treasure. Kōbō Daishi is also attributed with having carved the honzon.

Legend states that Gyōgi Bosatsu also stayed at this temple for a short period.

Be sure to look down on Ariake beach from the temple and see the coin-shaped circle made of sand and originally built in 1633 in imitation of a coin of the Kanei period.

** Both this temple and Temple 69 are in the same compound and the nōkyōsho for both is at the same window.

黒石市山形町81 / 81 Yamagatamachi, Kuroishi-shi, Aomori

It belongs to the Daigo shool of Shingon Buddhism 真言宗醍醐派.

The main statue is 勝軍地蔵尊 Shogun Jizo, General Jizo

The temple was founded in 1654 on behalf of the daimyo 津軽土佐守信義 Tsugaru Nobuyoshi (1619 - 1655). The founding priest was 日蔵 Nichizo. The Tsugaru Kuroishi clan protected the temple.
黒石三代領主津軽政兜 Tsugaru Masataka added more riches to the temple and made it the votive temple of his clan in 1697.

Tsugaru Tamenobu 津軽為信 (1550 - 1608) had build the Atago Shrine 愛宕宮 in Kuroishi and offered a statue of Shogun Jizo. The hall was called Atago Gongen 愛宕権現 at the top of mount Aseishi 浅瀬石山. The Hall had been relocated to Iwaki town 岩木町愛宕山橋雲寺
Aomori-ken, Hirosaki-shi, Atago, Yamashita.

There was also a statue of Fugen Bosatsu 普賢菩薩 and many people born in the year of the dragon or snake (tatsu 辰 mi 巳 ) came here to pray to these deities.

In 1971 the main hall burned down and the statues and picture scrolls were lost.
In the next year the hall was rebuilt.

The famous Bon dance (Kuroishi yosare 黒石よされ) has been performed in the grounds of this temple since the Edo period.

joroo-kai Jizo 女郎買地蔵 Joro-kai Jizo buying a prostitute
at the temple 大雲寺 Daiun-Ji in 桶川宿 Okegawa town (Postal station Nr. 6 on the Nakasendo Road)

女郎買い地蔵 - This state has been put in place in 1557.

Okegawa was quite a busy postal station and had many brothels. Not only the travellers, but also locals frequented these places. Soon there was the rumor that even the Jizo statue of the temple was out there enjoying himself. So the head priest tried to solve the problem. He fixed a clamp on the back of the statue and used a chain to bind it.
Since then, the Jizo did not move any more.



To tell the truth (maybe?) there was a young priest in the temple who went out every night . . . but got stopped when he saw his master fix the Jizo to teach him a lesson and save him.
The clamp on the back of the statue can be seen to our day.

komochi Jizo 子持ち地蔵 Jizo pregnant, with children



向宿の子持地蔵
(昭島市福島町2丁目) - Oku-Tama

昔、近所の子供たちがお地蔵様を持ち出し、裏の中沢堀で一緒に水遊びをして遊んでいた。それを見た大人が「お地蔵様を粗末にしてはいけない」と子どもたちを叱った。がその夜、「せっかく遊んでいたのに、一人ぼっちにさせた」と言ってお地蔵様が悲しんだという言い伝えがある。
とにかく子どもが好きなお地蔵様で赤ん坊の夜泣き、夜尿症、病気などに霊験があるらしい。

at 自性院 Jisho-In - 西落合
新宿区西落合1-11-23 Shinjuku, Tokyo : 猫寺 The Cat Temple
. Gofunai Henro Temple Nr. 53 .
Once in Edo there lived a man in Ushigome. He had a beloved cat, but the animal died and he was very sad.
Jizo Bosatsu appeared in his dream and advised him to go to the temple Jishoo-In 自性院 Jisho-In to see the high priest 鑑秀上人. He told him to have the statue of a cat erected.
A kind of migawari, he takes on our illness and problems.

Tsunbo Jizo
- quote -
. . . . . TSUNBO JIZŌ 聾地蔵 (lit. = Deaf Jizō)
of Komagome 駒込 (Hongo, Tokyo) helps when one suffers from persistent coughing. The people believe that, since Jizō is deaf, he cannot hear their prayers; it is therefore necessary to send them to him in writing, either by post, or by placing the written paper on the waters of a river or the sea.
This Jizō is thought to be a great lover of sake and a cure is more likely if he is promised a bottle.”

The statue now has a wound at the place where the arrow would have hit Kukai.



京都市南区唐橋羅城門町 - Kyoto
Karahashi Rajomoncho, Minami Ward, Kyoto

In 824 during a drought, Emperor Junna 淳和天皇 (786 - 840) ordered Kukai Kobo Daishi, priest at the Eastern Temple 東寺 To-Ji, and priest Shubin 守敏, head priest at the Western Temple 西寺 Sai-Ji, to perform rain rituals at the sacred park Shinsen-En 神泉苑.
Shubin did the rituals first, but no rain fell to ease the drought.
Next Kukai did the rituals - and whow, it rained for three days and three nights.
This is known as the "Rain Ritual Fighting" 雨ごい合戦 in the records of Kukai.

But Shubin was quite angry at this outcome. He waited in ambush at the Rashomon gate and tried to shoot an arrow at Kukai to kill him.
At this moment a monk in a black robe appeared and protected Kukai, catching the arrow with his hand. The monk was a personification of Jizo Bosatsu.
