- quote -
Noma Daibo 野間大坊
Noma Daibo, or formally named Omidoji Temple, is a temple belonging to the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Its history dates back to the era ruled by Emperor Tenmu in the middle of the 7th century.
Noma Daibo
is famous as the place where Minamoto no Yoshitomo, the father of Yoritomo and Yoshitsune, was killed unarmed when he was taking a bath. In 1159, Yoshitomo was defeated by the Taira clan in the Heiji Rebellion and escaped from Kyoto, heading for the east via Mino province and Chita Peninsula. In the village of Noma, Yoshitomo stayed at the residence of Osada Tadamune, Yoshitomo’s retainer Kamata Masakiyo’s father-in-law, who betrayed Yoshitomo for the reward from the Taira clan and killed him in the bathroom.
In the precinct is Yoshitomo’s grave,
which is surrounded by wooden swords, as it is said that Yoshitomo’s last words were
“If only I had a wooden sword, I wouldn’t have been killed.”
It is also believed that one who dedicates a wooden sword here will have his prayer answered.
The Blood Pond,
where the betrayers washed Yoshitomo’s head, and the ruins of the bathroom also remain in the precinct.
