Memorial stone for the 赤穂浪士 供養塔 Ako Roshi
赤穂浪士ゆかりの寺
The well-known story of a group of 47 rōnin (leaderless samurai) avenging the death of their master, Asano Naganori.
The two members of the 47 Ronin, 近松勘六行重 Chikamatsu Kanroku Yukishige (1670 - 1703) and 奥田貞右衛門行高 Okuda Sadaemon Yukitaka (1678 - 1703), were brothers of the 6th head priest of this temple, 朝山大和尚 high Priest Asayama.
The Ronin also used this temple often for their secret meetings.
After their death, this monument was erected in their honor.
鹿松諫六行重 Shikamatsu (Chikamatsu)
- quote -
Chikamatsu Kanroku Yukishige (近松 勘六 行重)
He was an umamawari (cavalryman) with a 250 koku stipend.
Chikamatsu Kanroku Yukishige and Okuda Sadaemon Yukitaka, were brothers of Bunryō who later became the abbot of Kannonji Temple in Yanaka (previously known as Chofukuji), and was later named Chōzan.
Kanroku left his last words “Please tell Bunryō in the Chofukuji Temple that I am willing to give my life to avenge the death of my master today”. It was at Kannonji Temple that the 47 Ronin planned the raid on Lord Kira's mansion. In Edo he changed his name to Miura Jūemon. He was 34 years old when he committed seppuku at the Hosokawa Tsunatoshi Mansion near Sengakuji.
Some of his remains are also interred at Jikoji Temple in Fukushima, Tokushima Prefecture and Kinshokuji Temple, Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture
Chikamatsu Kanroku Yukishige's family were retainers of the Asano family for generations and he received somewhat higher pay than others for his service.
His mother encouraged him to take part in the raid. Later that night, she killed herself.
