encodetry Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Posted March 18, 2020 The story about Oda Nobunaga and the Musubi-jinja (shrine) and Ohira Shichiro was recently researched in Japan.Musubi-jinja is a very small shrine in a small village in Gifu prefecture. The shrine was build in 1169. They have a document that Oda Nobunaga visited the shrine in Tensho 3 (1575) and prayed 7 days for victory before he moves to Echizen, Battle of Nagashino. After He prayed, Oda Nobunaga gave "Shuinjo (red seal letter) and a Yari to the shrine. The Shuinjo addressed at Musubi shrine and the name is Ohira Shichiro. It is stored today in the Buddhist temple "Kakusei(sho) which is a couple of hundred meters away from Musubi-shrine. Because Musubi-shrine is very small there no place to store important paperwork. so, the neighboring temple is storing it for them The shrine keeper is living by the shrine, running a small metal manufacturing factory. His name is Mr.Ohira. so, they are keeping Musubi-jinja at least more than 450 years. The shrine keeper believes Ohira Shichibei is his ancestor because his family has been keeping the shrine since before Nobunaga's visit. but, the original document (family tree) was burned by fire 220 years ago. so, he has no written proof. The monk is also Mr.Ohira, he is also one of the decedents of Ohira Shichibei.People in that village have not much moved for a long time. . http://www13.plala.or.jp/MJHP/mushubujinjanituite.html?fbclid=IwAR1vyxvSCsZumbidbG7vlnhjkQh6rQey7Fyzm_ZjTJY-jKr0rW8RXYgf4iQ
