Legends about Yamanokami and Sarugami 猿神 The Monkey Deity
Sarugami was known in various provinces, for example in 備前 Bizen and 備後 Bingo in Okayama.


Sarugami taiji 猿神退治 driving out the Sarugami - folktale
About the human sacrifice of a young girl
At the house where a white arrow was stuck, a girl had to be given as human sacrifice for Sarugami.
Then a 山伏 Yamabushi mountain priest came and tried to help. At 丑三つ時 a ghostly hour a monster came wandering from behind the Shrine and begun dancing around the carriage with the girl. When he tried to open the box, the Yamabushi let his dog run and kill the monster.
In the morning they came and had a good look at it - it was an old monkey.

- quote -
骨寺村 Honederamura Shoen Iseki

The map is drawn on four pieces of paper joined together, with the top of the map pointing west; the entire village is depicted. The boundaries of the village---Kagikake in the east, Sanno no Iwaya in the west, the Iwai River in the south, and the ridgeline from Mitakeato to Masaka Shindo in the north---are represented with bold lines.
..... Regarding the religious activities of the village, the Sanno no Iwaya in the west gives a strong impression that the village as a whole was formed as a foothold for the Sanno faith of the Tendai Sect; other religious elements are the Honedera Site and Monks’ Quarter Site on the western plateau, indicated with marks representing pillar sites. .....
- - Comparison with the Landscape Today
..... Sanno no Iwaya, drawn just below and more clearly than Komagatane on the Illustrated Map of Households, is on the western boundary of the village. To the east of it, the words “Honedera Temple Site” and “Monks’ Quarter Site” are marked with figures that appear to be pillar sites. On the Illustrated Map of Shrines and Temples “Hakusan” and “Terasaki” are written on a plateau slightly higher than the rice paddies in the western part of the village. "Rokusho no Miya" on the Illustrated Map of Households is drawn slightly apart from them, in the northern part of the plateau. Hakusan Shrine still remains in the same spot as the map, but Honedera Temple, for which the village was named, was already lost in the Kamakura period, and its site, including Monks’ Quarter, is yet to be found. .....

Sarugami 猿神
Once upon a time
a strange Yokai monster (the Nue) was flying in the sky. A brave samurai shot it down with three arrows.
The head became Inugami 犬神 the Dog Deity,
the body became Sarugami and
the tail became the plant suikazura スイカズラ / 吸葛 honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica (other versions say 蛇 a serpent).
- or in another version -
The head flow off to 讃岐国 Sanuki and became Sarugami.
The body flew off to 阿波国 Awa and became 犬神 Inugami,
the tail flew off to 備前国 Bizen and became the plant Suikazura.

Sarutahiko 猿田彦
The makers of wooden tools and toys, kijiya 木地屋, venerate Yamanokami. If normal people go to their places of worship and make fire, they will find a cruel death.
Since Yamanokami is Sarutahiko, they are not allowed to use the word SARU (monkey) while they do their work.

sarusuberi 猿すべり
Once Yamanokami and 水の神 Mizunokami, the God of the Water, had a contest about which had more, trees in the forest or fish in the water. They called out each name and counted it. In the end Yamanokami seemed to have lost because he called two names, 猿すべり Sarusuberi and さるたの木 Saruta no ki, for the same tree.
They tore the records and tried to forget about it.
But for some reason, the 7th day of the 11th lunar month became
山の神の木数えの日 the day of Yamanokami counting trees.
If a person goes to the mountain forest on this day, he will be counted as a tree.

Temple Nr. 28 on the Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage.
Located above Ama no Hashidate, Amanohashidate


bijin Kannon o-mamori 美人観音御守


- quote
Nariaiji Temple (成相寺) is a temple of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. The temple was originally located near the top of Mount Tsuzumigatake overlooking Miyazu Bay in the north, but was moved about 250 years ago to its current location further down the mountain after a landslide. The current temple grounds are still high enough on the slope that there are good viewpoints from where you can look out over the Amanohashidate Sandbar below.

Nariaiji Temple is part of the 33 Kannon Temples of Western Japan, a pilgrimage route to various temples across the region that are dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. Appropriately the main treasure of Nariaji Temple is a carved wooden statue of Kannon that dates from the Heian Period.

Below the main hall is a small wooden bell tower containing the "bell of neutrality". The bell is completely enclosed in its tower and has never been struck due to the sad legend about its origins concerning a baby that was accidentally dropped into the molten metal that was cast into the bell. A little further down the slope is an impressive five story pagoda. The bright red structure is built in the Kamakura architectural style, and was also formerly located higher up the mountain before it was restored and moved to its current spot in the late 1990s.

betsugu shingu shrines

[ . BACK to DARUMA MUSEUM TOP . ]
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


betsuguu, betsugū 別宮 Betsugu separate shrines

shinguu shingū 新宮 Shingu "new shrine"


Shingu Jinja 南国市十市 Nankoku town, Kochi, Summer purification ritual



quote
Betsugū
Literally, "detached shrine" or "separate shrine."
An auxiliary shrine existing in a main-branch relationship to its central or main shrine (honsha, hongū ).
Also called bessha 別社
edamiya 枝宮 - edayashiro, eda yashiro 枝社 - branch shrine

.
In practice, a detached shrine and its main shrine may be related in a variety of ways, but in principle the relationship is similar to that of a main shrine to other kinds of auxiliary shrines such as
imamiya, shingū (新宮), sessha and massha.

A detached shrine may be located either within the same precincts as the main shrine with which it is associated, or removed at a considerable distance.

Typical examples of betsugū include those associated with the shrines
Iwashimizu Hachimangū and
the Grand Shrines of Ise.

During the medieval period, Iwashimizu possessed "divine estates" (shinryō) throughout Japan; branch shrines of Iwashimizu that were dedicated (see kanjō) at those estates and thus became local tutelaries (chinju no kami) came to be known as betsugū of Iwashimizu.

The Grand Shrines of Ise are known for the ten betsugū of the Inner Shrine (Naikū) and the four of the Outer Shrine (Gekū); these detached shrines possess a unique relationship to the rituals or objects of worship (saijin) of the main shrines, and are thus given the title of gū (originally a "palace," a term reserved for shrines of particularly high status). Their special status is also reflected in the fact that they celebrate a rebuilding each twenty years in the same manner as the regular removals (shikinen sengū ) of the main shrines.

In addition to these usages, the term betsugū is also given to one of the temporary festival shrines (otabisho) utilized during festivals at the shrine Yasaka Jinja in Kyoto.
