The Second Day of Travel for Kyokutei Bakin and Hakkenden-related Places.

This day was sunny and too hot despite forecasting cloudy and a bit rainy.

For 10 minutes by a taxi from JR Iwai Station, I went to Fusehime Rouketsu（日本語：伏姫籠穴）/Fusehime Caves.

Tateyama is rural, so it's inconvenient for me because I have to use a taxi to go to Satomi-related places.

 

 

Fusehime Rouketsu is the place that Fusehime, the spiritual mother of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors, was staying with Yatsufusa, the big and mystery dog.

When she was staying there, she became pregnant with Yatsufusa's children.

In this point, someone said Hakkenden may be similar to Macbeth.

Eventually, these children was Jingi-Hachigyo's（日本語：仁義八行） orbs.

These orbs reached Hakkenshi soon.

This Hakkenshi, eight justice samurai, destroyed evils  and revitalized Satomi Clan, Fusehime's family.

 

 

Fusehime Rouketsu is surrounded by deep forests, and silent and cooler than in JR Iwai Station.

The Green color of Forests' leaves was mysterious.

While I was being chased by a hornet, I went steep and high stairs.

 

 

I finished to go stair, I found the board made with woods.

The pillars of the board are written with Hakkenshi's names.

 

 

In the opposite side of the board, there is a cave, that it's said Fusehime and Yatsufusa had stayed there.

With bending over and entering, there are Jingi-Hachigyo's orbs, Hakkenshi's orbs.

 

 

But characters of orbs have deteriorated very well.

Has nobody maintained these objects?

I rode a taxi again with emotion, that I would be happy if many foreigners came to Fusehime Rouketsu.

The roads were also very unpaved.

 

 

To be continued because the text was likely to be long.
