Inquiry day Clear weather March 22, 2008

It enters Maebashi from the 17th in national road Sen'isesaki and the guide of "Shinto shrine of Akagi Ninomiya" will be seen the right hand soon.
Bumping becomes a torii, and the right hand is a parking lot if turning to the right, and going straight straight.

There is Camihi in both sides of this side of the arched bridge when proceeding the visit to a shrine road where the stone monument lines up.



   Camihi with signature in 1909

The feature is one's feet of the hanging lantern (Camihi formally).

Surprisingly, the person of the sculpture of four people is supporting the hanging lantern.

There is a portrait of eight totals because there are right and left two hanging lanterns.

In interesting, eight entire portraits and posture, the figure, and the expressions are different.



 【portrait that supports plinth of Camihi 】

The one having taken a picture of Camihi on this side of bridge west side from direction of the southeast.

A powerful folding arms makes bullet-headed father of the mission line recall it.

Please pay attention to thin in the part that supports the weight of the plinth.





 【portrait that supports plinth of Camihi 】

The one having taken a picture of Camihi on west side with bridge forward from direction of the southwest.
It is a portrait next in the photograph above.

The mask is put up or there is a face in an unnatural position.
Another feature is a big belly like Ebisu.
It is a symbol of the great man in old China though it is a metabolic syndrome if it is a present age.

It can consent that person's belly is big because making Camihi is the Meiji era.





【portrait that supports plinth of Camihi 】

It is a photograph where Camihi on the east side with the arched bridge forward was taken from the direction of the southwest.

The portrait puts up a right knee, raises the right hand, and
supports the plinth.

Powerful is made for any portrait to be felt though the size is small.

It is wonderful.





 【portrait that supports plinth of Camihi 】
   
It is a photograph where Camihi on the east side with the arched bridge forward was taken for northwestward.

One's feet of the portrait is covered with the moss because of the north side.
As for the expression, the belly is calmly made small though it is the same posture as other portraits that a right knee is put up, and supports by the right hand.
A portrait and an upper and lower plinth are bonded with the one like mortar.
However, it is mysterious to have stood the earthquake of four in the seismic intensity by such a structure.
I believe that the person who had the technology considerably made these Camihi.




【main shrine the front and image of Korean dog 】

Everyone is overwhelmed to a grand making the sanctuary.
The nail is not used though it is a building of the scale only of this.

I marvel at the technique of carpenter Imperial prince who makes up the tree only of the combination.

Nandaimon in South Korea was burnt down because of arson.
I pray that the same kind of accident not happen.






 【 innermost shrine (inner shrine)】
It takes a picture of the innermost shrine in the temple from the west side.

The tree union of the innermost shrine, the beauty of the sculpture, and the size of the outside roof are paid to attention.

How is a big are of beauty and the outside roof that curves the roof on the inside designed?
Moreover, going mad of the extending size is not caused on the moon for years.
Not daunted at all architectural skills against the rainy season and the snowfall are the one that it wants you to leave it to future generations by all means.
