五井・姉ヶ崎へ

２月18日(土)、更級（さらしな）日記の旅立ちの地である市原市へ行きました。五井駅前の更級通りに菅原孝標女（すがわらのたかすえのむすめ）様の像が立っています。

市原市歴史博物館まで遠かった。国分尼寺跡には赤い回廊が奈良時代の工法により復元されています。上総国分寺は現役のお寺で、薬師堂が見事。更級日記に薬師様が書かれていますね。でも、奈良・平安時代の雰囲気はなかなか感じられませんでした。

しばらく歩き、島穴（しまあな）神社と姉埼（あねさき）神社へお参りしました。この２社は式内社だそうです。島穴神社の神様が弟または夫で、姉埼神社の神様が姉または妻とのこと。それで「姉ヶ崎」なんだ。神社が有り難い雰囲気でした。春ウララな日でした。

To Goi-Anegasaki

On Saturday 18th February,I went to Ichihara city where is the place of the journey departure of Sarashina diary(from 1020A.D. to 1060A.D.).There is a statue of Ms.daughter of Takasue Sugawara stands on the street Sarashina in front of Goi Station.

It was a long walking from Goi station to Ichihara history museum.At Kazusa kokubun nunnery ruins there is the rebuild red corridors with the method of Nara period(from710A.D. to 794A.D.).Kazusa kokubun temple is an active temple.There Yakushidoh is great!Yakushi buddha was appeared in beginning of Sarashina diary wasn't it.But,I couldn't really recognize the atomsphere old Nara,Heian periods at contemporary Ichihara city.

I walked for a while,I visited and did worship to Shima-ana shrine and Anegasaki shrine.These 2 shrines are Shikinaisha.I saw that enshrined deity of Shima-ana shrine is younger brother or husband, enshrined deity of Anegasaki shrine is older sister or wife.So,here is "Anegasaki" .It is means older sister cape.The atomsphere of these shrines was a thanksful happiness.It was a spring urara day.
