Kuni No Taiko

Waiting for drums

Original Text

A flow line guide is provided from Enkyoji Temple. I can't find the essential drum anywhere. It seems that it is hidden in the building and cannot be visited by the general public. Lehman, who is not good at holding drums and cherry blossoms, is as far as memory is concerned.

You can't see the drums.

Original Text

Kitamachi is working hard to preserve cultural properties, and there are many signboards on the street corner, so I could reach my destination without hesitation. However, I had to ask the temple people which drums of the time were. You can't usually see the drums, but it seems that the window at the top of the building is opened on the anniversary of June 10th.

He was allowed by Tsunayoshi Tokugawa.

Original Text

Mitsukata, the first generation of Mr. Toda in the north, performed equestrianism in front of the fifth Shogun Tsunayoshi, and was allowed to be a drum of time as a reward. It seems that it was ringed every day from 6 to 6 at the end of the Meiji Restoration. It seems that there were drums that informed the time in various places, but Mr. Toda allowed the same batting method as the Gosanke. It is said that it will still be ringed from early morning on the "Anniversary of Time" of ６ Moon １０ Day every year. The drum tower is locked and you can't usually see it.

The "Drum of Time" is located in the precincts of a temple called Saijunji, which is about ５ walk south of Enkyoji Temple. It is said that the castle Lord of the northern part of the past performed equestrianism to the Shogun family, and received the drum and drum as a reward. It is a pity that this "time drum" has been relocated to the precincts of the temple, so it is not usually visible.

the drums are in the building.

Original Text

When I visited Enkyoji Temple, there was an information board called Toki Taiko on the walking route. If you walk between the old townscape, you will find a concrete temple called Saijunji Temple. In the precincts, you don't know what the drum of time is and where it is. There is a dry landscape garden and a bell tower, and it seems that it was in the entrance building. The doors and windows of the building were closed so I couldn't see them. I wanted to see it because it was a drum that had been hit for 170 years until the Meiji Restoration.
