e 絵 an image
at 興禅寺 Temple Kozen-Ji
At the wooden door made of a cedar tree there was an image
of an old woman pulling a mortar, and an old man standing near her.
Sometimes at night the two began to talk and there were strange noises in the room.
There were also images of musical instruments, which seemd to make sound at night.
It was all very strange and scary, so the doors were finally painted all black.

- quote
Shinobi no Sato
Walking through the Ninja Village, one is enveloped in a strange landscape.
The landscape, surrounded by similar small hills, goes on and on,
luring you into a labyrinth-like interior.
The villages are scattered around the foot of the hills,
and the houses are blocked by small valleys, making it difficult to see the houses.
From the air, the complex valley landscape looks as if it is finely divided into many branches.
This unique topography was created by the erosion of the clay layer
called "Ko-Biwa-ko Formation" 3 million years ago.
At the tip of a hill with a good view or at the entrance of a valley,
there are always the ruins of castles, which are not stone walls
but rather piled up earth and surrounded on all sides by earthen mounds about 50 meters high.
There are as many as 800 of them in Iga and Koga,
making it one of Japan's most densely populated areas of castle buildings.
The reason for this appearance can be traced to the organization of the ninja.

Tokurakuji 徳楽寺 Tokuraku-Ji, Takakura
塩岡山 Shio-okazan 薬師院 Yakushi-In 徳楽寺 Tokurakuji

伊賀市西高倉3543 / Mie, Iga city, Nishi-Takakura

The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai.
It was made by 春日仏師 the Statue Carver Kasuga.
Together with the two side-statues of 日光菩薩 Nikko Bosatsu and 月光菩薩 Gakko Bosatsu
they are hibutsu 秘仏 not shown to the public, only once in 33 years.
On both sides of the Yakushi Statue are 十二神将 the 12 Divine Generals.

- Chant of the temple
おん　ころころ　せんだり　まとうぎ　そわか　

The temple was founded in 1390 by 舜栄法印 Saint Shunei.
One of the treasures is the 如来荒神曼荼羅 Nyorai Aragami Mandala from the Muromachi Period.

In former times, the parishioners came here to pray for salt.
Every time they left a little salt, which soon became shio-oka 塩岡 a salt mountain.
This is the origin of the mountain name.
In 1580 during a fire, the Yakushi statue took the statue of Koku 虚空 Kokuzo Bosatsu and took of to the sky.
Later thei parishioners heard that the statue was found in a local river in Higashi-Takakura.
Now this part of the river is called Shiobuchi 塩渕 deep salt pond.


. Aragami 荒神 the Wild Aragami Deity .
- 如来荒神曼荼羅 Nyorai Aragami Mandala
The combination of Yakushi Nyorai and Aragami is quite seldom.

画面は内院と外院からなる。内院には、宝冠を着けた六臂の如来荒神が宝瓶座に座り、
その下部に群青身の不動明王と赤肉身の愛染明王が配されている。
不動明王は右手に剣、左手には羂索の替わりに輪宝を執る。
愛染明王は、頭上に弓矢をかざす天弓愛染で、異色構成の図像である。
外院は、12の円相内に尊名を特定できない多面多臂の菩薩形や鬼神形を並べ、
荒神像のほか14の尊像からなる曼荼羅図を構成している。持物など一部に後世の補筆が認められるが、
当初部分は荒神像図としては希少な室町期の作と考えられる。
