こんにちは。スタッフYです。

 

全国の皆さまも皆様ご存じかと思いますが、名古屋の夏は…とても暑いんです。先日から、早くも30度を超える真夏日を迎えております。そろそろ真夏日を越える暑さとなろう地区もあるかと思いますので、みなさま、暑さにだんだんと身体を慣らして、水分補給、休息など対処し、熱中症にはくれぐれもお気を付けください。

 

朝から暑い日でしたが、今日、お仕事の通り道で「建中寺」の横を通りかかりました。そういえば、数か月前に名古屋のおすすめスポットとして、「徳川園・徳川美術館」をご紹介したにもかかわらず、「建中寺」は、紹介していませんでしましたね。申し訳ございません。

ということで、本日は、「建中寺」のご紹介を致します。

 

 

こちらの「建中寺」は、その「徳川園・徳川美術館」のご近所、尾張徳川家の菩提寺として有名なお寺さんです。建中寺のございます名古屋市東区界隈は尾張藩主の家臣の武家屋敷が多くあった地区であり、その地区のなかでも大きく位置するのが建中寺です。現在の建中寺の敷地は1万坪と、現在でも大きな寺院なのですが、昔は約5万坪(165,000㎡)もの広さを誇っていたそうです。近くにある東海中学高等学校、あずま中学、筒井小学校までもが建中寺の敷地だったそうで、だからでしょうか、学校の一部は古い樹木が残っていたり、当時の塀の部分が残っていたりして、当時の建中寺の風格をまさに垣間見ることが出来る箇所が所々にあります。また戦災後、総門と三門の間を旧観の一部を公園とし、現在は区民がゆったりと過ごす憩いのスペースとなっており、私もそこで、小休止させてきただきました。

 

 

建中寺は、初代尾張藩主・徳川義直の菩提を弔うため、徳川家先祖代々の菩提寺として、慶慶安4年(1651年)に、第2代尾張藩主・徳川光友が建立し、弘経寺(茨城県結城市)の成誉廓呑じょうよかくどん上人を招いて開山したとされています。天明年の大火災において多くの建築が焼失しましたが、総門、三門、本尊・釈迦如来などは戦火をくぐり抜け現在もその姿を偲ぶごとができます。

 

境内の徳川家霊廟は県指定有形文化財、総門、三門、鐘楼、御成門・本堂・経蔵・開山堂・源正公廟は市指定有形文化財、徳興殿は国登録有形文化財となっており、その作りはどれも漆塗、内外彩色を施して華やかな装飾と尾張徳川家の独特の威厳がすごい。また、同じ尾張徳川家だからでしょうか、どこか大樹寺（岡崎市・徳川将軍家の菩提寺)を彷彿させる雰囲気がありますよね。お時間のございます方、両御寺共にその佇まいたるや素晴らしいので、両御寺制覇もよいかと思います。

 

また、同じ境内にあります不動堂の本尊・不動明王は、江戸時代から尾張徳川家の戦勝祈願の秘仏とて祀られてており、その本堂の柱には、江戸の宮大工が動物・植物・縁起物などをかたどって、デザイン的に柱を手当てした「埋木細工」が残っています。境内掲示によると、要財にゆとりがなかったため、こうした手当てが施されたとのこと。蝙蝠、桜、葡萄、将棋、扇、小判、宝珠、桔梗、空蝉、葵、四宝、銀杏、猪目…。職人さんの技や洒落気に、思わずくすっと笑えます。

 

そういえば、わたくし思い出したのですが、前日のInstagramにて古美術風光舎名古屋店のごさいます超ご近所の城山地区に、徳川義直の母相応院おかめの方の菩提寺、相応寺がありますとご紹介いたしました。

というとこは、当店、古美術風光舎名古屋店も当時の尾張徳川家の歴史の包囲網の中にあるのでしょうか。ふと、思いまして古地図歴史的検証(勝手に）熱がまた発動してきました。大なり小なり何か発見がございましたら、またご報告いたします。

 

 

Hello. This is Staff Y.

As everyone in Japan knows, the summer in Nagoya is … very hot. From the other day, we are already celebrating a midsummer day that exceeds 30 degrees Celsius. I think there are some areas where the heat will soon exceed the midsummer day, so everyone, please gradually get used to the heat and be careful about heat stroke.

It was a hot day from the morning, but today I passed by Kenchuji Temple on my work path. By the way, although I introduced “Tokugawaen / Tokugawa Art Museum” as a recommended spot in Nagoya a few months ago, I didn’t introduce “Kenchuji”. I’m sorry.

So, today, I would like to introduce “Kenchuji Temple”.

This “Kenchuji Temple” is a famous temple as the family temple of the Owari Tokugawa family, which is the neighborhood of the “Tokugawaen / Tokugawa Art Museum”. The area where Kenchuji Temple is located in Higashi-ku, Nagoya City is the area where many samurai residences of the vassals of the Owari feudal lord were located, and Kenchuji Temple is located in the largest area. The current site of Kenchuji Temple is 10,000 tsubo, which is still a large temple, but in the past it was said to have boasted an area of ​​about 50,000 tsubo (165,000 m2). It seems that the nearby Tokai Junior and Senior High School, Azuma Junior High School, and even Tsutsui Elementary School were the sites of Kenchuji Temple. Maybe that’s why some of the schools have old trees and walls at that time. There is a place where you can get a glimpse of the style of Kenchuji Temple at that time. In addition, after the war, a part of the old view was made into a park between Somon and Sanmon, and now it is a relaxing space for the inhabitants of the ward. I also took a short break there.

Kenchuji Temple was built by the second Owari feudal lord, Tokugawa Mitsutomo, in 1651 as a bodhisattva temple of the Tokugawa family’s ancestors to mourn the bodhisattva of the first Owari feudal lord, Yoshinao Tokugawa. It is said that the mountain was opened by inviting a superior of the temple (Yuki City, Ibaraki Prefecture). Many buildings were destroyed by the great fire of the Tenmei era, but the Somon, Sanmon, and the principal idol, Shaka Nyorai, have survived the war and can still be remembered today.

The Tokugawa family mausoleum in the precincts is a prefecture-designated tangible cultural property, Somon, Sanmon, Bell Tower, Onarimon, Main Hall, Keizo, Kaizan-do, Gensho Kotou are city-designated tangible cultural properties, and Tokukoden is a nationally registered tangible cultural property. I will. All of them are lacquered, painted inside and outside, and the gorgeous decoration and the unique dignity of the Owari Tokugawa family are amazing. Also, probably because it is the same Owari Tokugawa family, there is an atmosphere that is reminiscent of Daijuji Temple (Bodaiji Temple of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Okazaki City). If you have time, both temples have a wonderful appearance, so I think it would be good to conquer both temples.

In addition, the principal image of Fudodo, Fudo Myo, which is located in the same precincts, has been enshrined as a secret Buddha of the Owari-Tokugawa family’s prayer for victory since the Edo period. In the shape of such things, there is still a “buried woodwork” that has been designed with pillars. According to the bulletin board in the precincts, such treatment was given because there was not enough room for the necessary items. Bats, cherry blossoms, grapes, shogi, fans, oval, jewels, bellflowers, sky bats, aoi, four treasures, ginkgo, inome … You can laugh at the craftsman’s skill and fashion.

Speaking of which, I remembered that on Instagram the day before, there was a family temple, Sooji Temple, for Yoshinao Tokugawa’s mother, Sooin, in the super-neighborhood Shiroyama district of the antique art Fuyuhime Nagoya store. I introduced it.

Does that mean that our store, the antique art Fukosha Nagoya store, is also in the siege of the history of the Owari-Tokugawa family at that time? Suddenly, I was afraid that I had to investigate again by historical verification of old maps (without permission). If you find something more or less, we will report it again.
