Xionggu Zhixuan の Bronze Statue

Original Text

I was surprised to see a statue of Naomi Kumagai in the middle of the rotary because I had to enter the station. Is the name of the city also named Naomi Kumagai? It is famous for the battle of Ichinodani in Settsu.

A magnificent busho statue

It is located near the taxi stand just in front of the north exit of JR Kumagai Station. A busho (Japanese military commander) from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period based in Kumagai-go, Musashi province.

The statue of Naomi Kumagai was at the rotary of JR Kumagai Station. I found it when I went to Kumagai in November. Naomi Kumagai is a military commander who was active in Kumagai-go (currently Kumagai City) from the end of the Heian period to the early Kamakura period. He is a person who appears in the Heike Monogatari. There is also Kumagai-dera Temple in Kumagai City, which is related to Naomi (usually not available).

Kumagai in Kumagai City has something to do with that Naomi Kumagai. I don't know which name is named after Naomi Kumagai or which one Naomi took the surname from the place name. Either way, it is a very refined equestrian statue. Is it the scene of the Heike Monogatari that stops Taira Atsumori with a fan?

Kumagaya's place name is over 1000 years

A statue standing in front of Kumagai Station. At first glance, I assimilated it into the surrounding buildings and didn't notice it when I visited in the past. A military commander from the end of the Heian period to the Kamakura period. Is this the origin of Kumagai's name? I thought, but it seems that the correct answer is to call the place name.
