Francis Xavier Anecdote

Question from the Japanese who was troubled with Xavier


Francis Xavier propagated it in each place of Japan, but many Japanese have asked him.

"Why did the teaching that was hard to be like it not come to Japan so far?"

And "how is the ancestor of us who did not hear the teaching that I am thankful for now where?"

In other words what happens to the dead ancestors though oneself are baptized and may be saved without being baptized?

After all do you fall into the hell?

The then Japanese asked Xavier such a question.

In Christianity, Xavier answered so originally because all the people who were not baptized were hell.

Then a Japanese pursues it.

"God whom you believe in is very merciless, and are you not incompetent?"

If it is the Almighty God, you may save my ancestors

Xavier was troubled and wrote it in the letter as follows.

When "a Japanese has high culture standard and is not a very excellent propagator, the propagation of Japan will have a hard time"

There did not seem to be the human being who asked then China and Korea and Indochina such a question.

Mitsunari Ishida Anecdote3

Mitsunari employ Sakon Shima in a high salary

It is Sakon Shima who is a chief vassal of Mitsunari, but there is a famous anecdote even if this Court Security Office proves right if I serve Mitsunari.

As for this, Mitsunari is said to be a story when he had main increase 40,000 stones of the Mizuguchi Castle.
 (there are various opinions about Mitsunari having had really become the Mizuguchi lord of a castle.)

Hideyoshi called Mitsunari and asked him.

"I increased salaries, but did you increase the retainers like how many people this time?"

Mitsunari answered in this way.

"It is only one."

Ridiculous Hideyoshi heard it.

"On earth whom did you make a retainer?"

Mitsunari answered.

"It is Sakon Shima."

Hideyoshi said in wonder.

"Sakon Shima is a celebrity of the world.

It is not a person serving the person of the scanty salary like a master.

Did you employ him with higher how much salary?"

Mitsunari answered.

"I employed Sakon with half 20,000 stones of my salary high 40,000 stone."

Hideyoshi who heard this said while laughing.

"I have not heard that a salary was the only same as a subordinate.

However, otherwise the person like the Court Security Office will not serve Mitsunari."

Of course there are various opinions whether this anecdote is true as expected.

It is and cannot support the first questionable point from positive historical materials about this whether Mitsunari has really become the Mizuguchi lord of a castle for the moment.

There are various opinions about the time when Sakon Shima served Mitsunari.

In the meantime, it will be sure that Mitsunari employed Sakon Shima in a high salary surprising people.

Mitsunari Ishida Anecdote2

Activity in the Shizugatake.

Mitsunari Ishida seems to have an elite and a bright person pale for some reason, the image of the schemer.

Of course the real images are different, but it is apt to be considered that it is the person who is not good at much bravery.

However, it is left for the record in the Shizugatake to have done the activity that Mitsunari breaks such an image.

At first Kiyomasa Kato, Masanori Fukushima and others float, but, speaking of activity in the Shizugatake, there is the record that played an active part that Mitsunari is not inferior to this time, them in.

The running fight of the Shizugatake was a considerable all-out war for Hideyoshi.

It is thought that Mitsunari played a daring role in that.

Mitsunari has that I dealt with information gathering for a record by the fight of the Shizugatake and, as for his special feature, it is thought even if there was it here.

In any case Mitsunari is good at strategic eyes, and it is thought that the nature as the military commander was good unlike the image like the civil officer.

For example, even Oshi Castle attack, a Korean position shows definite strategic eyes.

Mitsunari Ishida Anecdote1

Tea - Mitsunari, Hideyoshi of a kind of ceremony at a temple, episode of the encounter.

It is a famous anecdote of Mitsunari Ishida.

In front of Shiga, Nagahama Station, there is the image of Mitsunari Ishida and Hideyoshi Toyotomi in connection with this a kind of ceremony at a temple's banquet tea, too.

One day Hideyoshi who became important of the Nagahama Castle did falconry in possessing it.

Hideyoshi learned the return, the dehydration of the throat and he dropped in at a certain temple and required tea.

First the page in a temple who dealt made rather lukewarm tea for one serving from green powder in a large bowl and took it out.

After having drunk it up at a stretch, dry Hideyoshi of the throat required it another one cup.

The page took out the tea which he made slightly rather hot to a slightly smallish porcelain bowl next.

After wishing, Hideyoshi started the tea which he made to a small-sized porcelain bowl hot another one cup this time for trial.

The page looked at the state of the person and started it in the state that the person wanted.

Hideyoshi made interest for the consideration of the page and he was with the page in a castle and assumed it a return retainer.

It succeeded in life afterwards, and this page became one of the five magistrates in charge of the administration of state affairs, Mitsunari Ishida.

At first the page fully starts the lukewarm tea which it is easy to drink to the dry partner of the throat and has you taste hot tea slowly after thirst was cured.

This anecdote is talked about as an example of the attention widely.

It is argued slightly with "a certain temple" which became the stage of a kind of ceremony at a court noble's banquet tea.

Kanonji of Ohara and a Lotus sutra temple of Furuhashi are convincing opinions, and "the well of the Mitsunari making tea" is in Kanonji for the moment.

Is this anecdote only true?

It has a question very much.

It is all the kind of the graceless hand of Edo period, and the reliability has few historical materials that an anecdote appears in.

This anecdote is like the story of Mitsunari many other that was made during the Edo period , there is also a theory that has been created in demean the boy of the temple born of Samsung .

Yoshitsune Minamoto Anecdote5

Why did Yoritomo Minamoto and Yoshitsune Minamoto have to fight?

Yoshitsune drove Heike clan by a fight of Dannoura and gave big military gains.

However, why did Yoshitsune have to be subdued afterwards?

I want to explain it from the then situation.

It is thought that the reason why Yoshitsune made Yoritomo angry is two mainly.


1: Self-centered behavior by the fight of Dannoura

Yoshitsune pushed forward a fight at the time of fight of Dannoura without hearing an opinion of Kagetoki Kajiwara who was a schemer.

He drove a result, the Emperor Antoku into the suicide.

And Yoshitsune have lost three kinds of sacred treasures which could become the negotiations materials with the Imperial Court.

Furthermore, Yoshitsune punished samurais of subordinates without permission without getting permission of Yoritomo.

It is in this way written in Azumakagami that He incurred Samurai's and others other bad feeling.

Because Yoritomo was going to make the samurai family society which assumes oneself a top, it is disagreeable and comes to feel Yoshitsune behaving in a selfish way in this way.

It is the second next reason to have accelerated this.


2: Yoshitsune is that office and rank was granted by Emperor Goshirakawa after a fight of Dannoura

Yoritomo prohibited the samurai who received office and rank without one's permission from the Imperial Court from coming back to Kanto.

Because he did not yet perform opening the Edo shogunate of the Kamakura Shogunate in those days, Yoritomo was not able to give a subordinate office and rank.

In other words, it was an act to be able to shake a position of Yoritomo oneself to be given office and rank without permission of Yoritomo from the Imperial Court.

Yoritomo does not give office and rank, but the samurai who think that then the which the Imperial Court had is profit that the Imperial Court gives office and rank may come out.

For this reason, Yoritomo was prohibited to receive their permit without rank.

However, Yoshitsune breaks this and receives office and rank.

Emperor Goshirakawa is said to have given Yoshitsune an important post as the equal for fear of Yoritomo.

Yoritomo took distance out of the Imperial Court and was going to make the political circle by the samurai family.

Yoshitsune enhanced trust of the Imperial Court, and it was the menace that was serious for Yoritomo to become the popular person of samurais of the circumference.

Yoshitsune was good at war, but it is said that it was ignorant about politics.

Since it was not necessary that a war with Heike clan is over and does a war, for Yoritomo, it is thought that it is not necessary to give Yoshitsune an important post and subdued it.

Yoshitsune Minamoto Anecdote4

Battle of Ichinotani

The whole families of Genji cornered Heike clan that was an old enemy.

This story is an event in the competition between two clans battle.

Yoshitsune got a duty to hunt down and kill Heike clan with Yoritomo who was a year, the older brother who became 25 years old.

On March 20, 1184
Yoshitsune helped Noriyori Minamoto which was half brother and was going to drive Heike family.

Noriyori was given 56000 soldiers then, but Yoshitsune had only the mounting a horse soldier of 70 horse men.

However, Noriyori was forced to an unexpected hard fight.

Heike family gave the rear perfect protection in the cliff of one valley.

The battle of Ichinotani were fierce battles.

The fight that began at the daybreak was prolonged very much while an arrow flew in the battlefield, and a hand-to-hand fight by the mounting a horse was developed.

A voice broke out in such a case from the cliff of the rear.

Yoshitsune ran down a cliff on a horse how.

It was steep so that it was thought that it was absolutely impossible to march on in a cliff.

In fact, Yoshitsune asked local people in this way beforehand.

"Which a deer saw being below this cliff"

Yoshitsune encouraged the army of 70 horse men without flinching from the situation that he fell down if they failed in the operation of the horse even once and died.

The result was a great success!

Heike clan that had the back that they thought to be safe stolen was restless and ran away rushingly to the sea.

A large army of Noriyori launched an all-out attack there and won.

In this way, an action was light, and Yoshitsune was good at a surprise attack.

He seemed to have much tactics that he put a counter in than he joined the main force of the battle front.

Yoshitsune Minamoto Anecdote3

The Ushiwaka-maru and Benkei

The Ushiwaka-maru is a childhood name of Yoshitsune.

This is an episode extracted from the book called "the description of Yoshitsune(Gikeiki)" written about Yoshitsune Minamoto.

Yoshitsune confronted a destruction monk called Benkei Musashibo at the age of 19 years old on Gojo-Ohashi of Kyoto.

Benkei was a priest of Mt. Hiei-zan.

However, he was the tall man who had a figure strange by nature and a violent property.

The Benkei challenged peoples to a fight in those days when he accused people via Gojo-Ohashi unjustly.

He took the sword of the loser when he won and collected it.

He was doing to take one thousand swords away with a target.

The Benkei obtained 999 swords without a defeat.

He established the thin good-looking boy who came over alone at a certain summer night with the last game.

The Benkei thought that it was an easy victory.

However, a boy is too light, and there is no point.

The Benkei was defeated by him after all without pouring the first attack.

The boy was Yoshitsune.

Benkei became a faithful subordinate of Yoshitsune by this defeat.


Yoshitsune stays in the Koromogawa buildidng in last moments and will kill himself.

Benkei fought against an enemy in front of a door of the Koromogawa building at time.

And he continued receiving a large quantity of arrows to a whole body and died with standing.

The story of "Benkei's Standing Death" is very famous.

It is the story that learned fencing from a long-nosed goblin to be particularly famous.

The Buddhist priest of the Kurama mountain came over to the party of the flower viewing with children taking part in a festive procession.

And when a Buddhist monk is a great long-nosed goblin living in this Kurama mountain, he reveal it and promise it when he cooperate if time to defeat Heike comes to Yoshitsune.

"I got old and have dropped even such a pot.

Having done impoliteness, I am very sorry. "

He was sorry and handed a cleaning tool to Kiyomasa, and oneself cleaned the whole room together, too.

The tea-ceremony room became clean before long like a beginning.

Kiyomasa had a dreamlike feeling and thought in this way.

"By the way, I failed on purpose so that Rikyu saw through my feeling, and dampened it.

By the way, is it a terrible old man?

I was not afraid of a threat at all and have rather put it well.

It's the most even of Hideyoshi compliment the Rikyu."

Two people were relieved of qualification given to comic storyteller and became the relation between friendship to talk about willingly.

Senno Rikyu Anecdote1

From an anecdote of Rikyu Senno, the severe posture for the way of the tea ceremony appears.

He does not compromise with oneself and always demands ideals.

And as a result of having clashed with Hideyoshi at last simply because he had the mind.

He will commit harakiri.

I can see the reason why the name of Rikyu became immortal little by little.




The ban on holding two or more posts.


A certain person was invited to the night tea party by Sogyu Tsuda and proceeded to Sakai.

He visited Rikyu in the morning,
"it was now because I had time until a night tea party".

Then Rikyu treated him to a feast more than expected.

When he took time too much, it was annoying because there was the next tea party.

However, only time has passed because he was detained by Rikyu.

He went to the cause of Sogyu on the run, but the tea party had been already over and lost his face afterwards.

When Rikyu "was outrageous that a person invited to the tea ceremony later visited a different person ,"

this let it take you time to do on purpose.

it shows the mental attitude for the tea ceremony of Rikyu from this story.

Katsuyori Takeda caught Suneemon Tori toward the request of the reinforcement from Nagashino Castle to Nobunaga and has murdered him.

Ieyasu Tokugawa who heard it was disgusted very much and said.

"Katsusada is not a caliber of the generals.

He does not know the method to employ a brave man.

Even if a strong person such as the toriis is an enemy, I save life and will praise the will.

This is to tell a friend what kind of thing it is to be loyal.

I hate people making loyalty for one's lord to death, and it cannot be understood.

Because when Katsusada is ruined soon, I betray it, and his subordinate will become an enemy. You should look. "



Ieyasu was right later.

Ieyasu Tokugawa respected "justice" and "faithfulness" than other what.

A lot of episodes to show the honest mind are left.

Hideyoshi asked Ieyasu once.

"What is your first treasure?"

Then Ieyasu answered.

"My first treasure is 500 samurais who stake his life on it for me"

Simply because he sent trust of the overall width to a vassal,

"Samurai which endures"

Samurai and the vassal "Mikawa samurai group" of said Ieyasu which did not spare life would be said not to mind the life of own for Ieyasu either for Ieyasu who was the master.

It is told when he poured power into superior talented person excavation of the ability that can be beyond own, upbringing very eagerly.

In addition, as for the mind to let loyalty go through to a thing with will, it might be in the big factor that accomplished world unification later when a partner would be an enemy.

When Ieyasu lost for a fight of Sanpogahara, in famous posture "to do it, and to bite it, and to stare at one's weakness from a reality aspect from the episode of the image" that let you draw the figure of own which is wretched, it is not only a pretense and feels genuine strength.

Economy

Ieyasu Tokugawa was said to be economy now, but was narrow-minded when he said with a word.

When do not have a kimono made newly very much, and a maid in charge of the washing gives advice because wear only the same thing.

"this is economical"

He scolded.

He used the thin yellow underwear.
(because a dirt is not outstanding, the light yellow is not worried about a dirt.)

If a pickle was salty, Ieyasu received a complaint from women.

Ieyasu asked cook.

Then the chef answered.

When "women always give that they have another serving of a meal a more delicious pickle, the number of times of the another helping increases more."

Ieyasu Tokugawa Anecdote3

Healthy point

The one who reigns over the whole country had a grand image like Hideyoshi, but Ieyasu Tokugawa liked simple things.

Because there was a record such as liking boiled barley and rice, Ieyasu just kept the health food that it was said in mind.

I admire just to hear the eating habits of Ieyasu if healthy.

Ieyasu lived to be long-lived 75 years old for those days.

It may be said that he was able to take the world because he was longevity.

He was a medicine enthusiast and compounded it from oneself.

The suggestion of a miniature carving is a thing by him.

The medicine was more expensive before than the Edo Period, and the way carried around wasn't so much.

The traveler put household medicine in a samurai's pillbox (mobile container to put a stamp in) and carried it.

Having roots of good size developed Ieyasu to put medicine to be easy to have it always ready more easily.

Ieyasu was recommended to carry the medicine to other people of course.

Ieyasu seemed to hope that all were healthy.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Anecdote2

Patience

It is a story about the character of Ieyasu Tokugawa.

There is a very patient image when I think about breeding of Ieyasu Tokugawa.

He continued really enduring various difficult situations and became a commander-in-chief of an expeditionary force against the barbarians.

However, He is said to have been short-tempered.

The military commander who promised to betray Ieyasu by a battle did not readily take action.

Therefore there is the episode that he is irritated, and transferred a messenger to work early.

He lived as a hostage for infanthood, but lost my temper when he might not like it.

He pushed a subject of the juniority not to like over the porch.


But he endured that Ieyasu Tokugawa was able to take the world as a hostage and endured an order to start for its new post from Hideyoshi in the distant place and endured that he moved until Nobunaga and Hideyoshi died.

After all I think that Ieyasu was a person of the patience.
