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.

- quote -
kabukimon　冠木門 - Also written koumon 衡門 (koomon).
A roofless gate composed of two square gate posts hashira 柱, either set directly into the ground hottatebashira 堀立柱, or placed on square base stones, nemaki-ishi 根巻石 (see nemaki 根巻).
A heavy horizontal beam or lintel, called kabuki 冠木, is inserted into the posts.
Usually small timbers are placed across the under side of the kabuki beam and sometimes vertically against the inner sides of the posts into which the gate doors are attached. Sometimes the gate doors are secured directly to the posts themselves. The doors open inward.
The top side of the door is straight. Occasionally the door is hung with a space between the door bottom and the ground sill, not only for aesthetic reasons but to prevent water from heavy rains collecting under the doors.
The doors are made of heavy vertical planks and are attached to the posts with decorative hinges called hassou kanagu 八双金具. The doors may have metal decoration called manjuu kanamono 饅頭金物 (see manjuugata 饅頭形). The tops of the posts are pyramidal in shape and are called tokin 兜巾. The band around the tops of the posts and around the kabuki lintel are called fukurin 覆輪.
The posts often are supported on the inner face by an arrangement of props or secondary posts called hikaebashira 控柱 which are connected to the posts with diagonal tie beams and a lower straight tie beam.
Kabukimon may also have a small side door called kowakitobira 小脇扉 attached to one of the posts of the gate.

This type of gate dates back to the Kamakura period and was used by low ranking people. By the Muromachi period, it was used at warriors mansions and as a castle gates.
The use of this type of gate for residences increased during the Edo period.

He was a rich merchant, born in Iwate, Ichinoseki. In Edo, he collected many books and is the founder of
Aoyagi Bunko 青柳文庫 The Aoyagi Library.

- quote -
Aoyagi Bunzo, 青柳文蔵, who was born in the domain of Sendai in 1761, built a fortune in Edo period. He liked reading books and bought many books and then he became a famous book collector. He had lost his child to give over his collections to, and he wanted to utilize his collections for posterity. Therefore he donated about 20000 books and a large amount of money to the domain of Sendai in hope of opening a public library.
The domain of Sendai opened the library with his books, and the library lasted until the Meiji Restoration. It’s said that it was Japan’s first public library and everybody could borrow the books regardless of rank. The collections of books have gradually got scattered and lost.

Now Miyagi Prefectural Library holds about 3600 books of the collections. The Mini Theater SEIRYUKAN, 青柳館 in the library is named after Aoyagi Bunko, 青柳文庫.
Aoyagi, 青柳 is also read ‘seiryu’ in Chinese reading forms.
