黒田官兵衛が宇都宮一族を滅ぼした際に、ここで待機していた家臣も殺害されました！その時に壁についた血痕が何度壁を塗り返しても消えないので、遂に壁全体を赤く塗ったという因縁のお寺です！ more »

Was killed by a retainer when he destroyed the Utsunomiya clan Kuroda kanbe was waiting here too! It is the Temple of fate that indelible stains on the wall during that time many times return painted wall, so finally the entire wall painted red!

元々白壁であり、血糊が何度も浮き出てきて白く塗り直すが、またもや赤く染まって行く。。寺は白く塗るのを諦めて赤壁とした。合理的である。が、宇都宮氏の怨念の恐ろしさを感じないわけにはいかない。秀吉の命で官兵衛が騙し討ちしたのがそもそもの発端である。宇都宮氏は臣従の意を表していたのだから、領地替えに反対したとしてもそこまで抹殺する必要があったのか甚だ疑問が残る。由緒書には、空誉上人は開山であったが、宇都... more »

Originally white in, Gore has repeatedly raised the white paint, again turning red to go. Temple is I gave up painting white and red cliffs. In the reasonable. But can't afford to not feel fear of Utsunomiya said no. Under Hideyoshi's kanbe was still beginning. Was necessary to erase so far also opposed the territory from Utsunomiya's men-at-arms had expressed very much left wondering. Said was in historical document, an empty honor Saint Temple was the bastard child of Utsunomiya Township clusters after Nagamasa to be killed, and. In parent-child should say mark by Kuroda family taint.

昔、騙し討ちされた武将たちの返り血を浴びた結果、何度、白に塗り替えしても血が滲んでくるため、結局、赤く塗り替えたとガイドさんから伺いました。通り沿いにあるため、車からでも見学可能です。 more »

Because blood will bleed and repainted white again, warlords, was still spurting blood-drenched as a result, even after all the Red Guide broke and sent from heard. Streets are available, from car along.

The first thing that stands out are the red walls in the street. Very photographic as are the others nearby.

昔戦争の舞台でした、剰りにも酷く鮮血が塀に染まる程悲惨でした、血は拭いても浮かびあがったようなので塀を赤く塗ったそうです。

Red walls like arising even wiped blood on the excesses and once was the theatre of war, badly dyed blood wall was tragic, because it is painted.

黒田如水が前領主宇都宮重房を謀略結婚により中津城内で殺害した時に宇都宮の家臣らが城から脱出し、この寺を拠点として奮戦し、壮絶な最期を遂げた。以来門前の白壁は幾度となく塗り替えても血痕が絶えなかったので赤壁にしてしまったという。宇都宮氏は豊臣にとっても黒田にとっても目の上のたん瘤で九州統一のためには邪魔な存在であったからこの様な卑劣な方法しかとることが出来なかったのであろう。黒田にとって最大の汚点である。それと、宇都宮氏の子孫は私の叔母の友人だったのだ。それと、「赤壁」を「せきへき」と読まないようにね。

When Kuroda josui by the marriage plot killed before Lord Utsunomiya shigefusa at Nakatsu Castle were vassals of the Utsunomiya and escape from the Castle, and fought as a base for this temple, died a heroic death. So sprang up in bloodstains were since repainted again and again without walls in front of the red cliffs has said. Not take Utsunomiya said for the Toyotomi and Kuroda Kyushu in uniform for a distraction in the eyes on tann瘤 was from only such a sneaky way would be. In Kuroda's biggest blemish. It's my aunt's friend was a descendant of Utsunomiya. Try not to read "sekiheki", "Red Cliff".
