Gankizan Jinja 巖鬼山神社 Iwa Oni Yama Shrine
青森県弘前市十腰内字猿沢７８ / Sarusawa-78 Tokoshinai, Hirosaki-shi



岩木山の北麓１０Ｋｍほどに鎮座。
弘前鯵ヶ沢線の十面沢あたりから、南へ入り１Ｋｍほどで社前に到着する。
境内には巨木が多く、参道の右手には沢も流れて、無茶苦茶気持ちが良い。
特に、社殿左手の二本の大杉は、壮観。
社殿に座り込んで、しばらくの間、もの思いに耽っていたら、このまま、自然の中に解けて、消えてしまいそうな、そんな雰囲気。

【今別町大泊の海岸には、奇岩怪石におおわれた岩場があり、その中に「鬼の穴」と言われる洞窟もある。その昔、この岩穴に鬼が住みつき、海を通る船や、田畑を荒らしたり、村人たちは困りはてていた。そこへ、兄・頼朝に追われ蝦夷へ向かっていた義経一行が通りかかり、話をきいた義経はその鬼を退治してしまったという。青森には各地に鬼伝説が残っているが、この「大泊」という地名も鬼が住んでいた「おにどまり」からきているといわれている。※今別の伝説「 大泊の鬼 」より】

鬼室神社 Kishitsu Jinja
滋賀県蒲生郡日野町 Shiga, Gamo district, Hino



The grave of 鬼室集斯 Shusui Kishitsu, a respected and cultured visitor from Korea more than 1,300 years ago, is located behind the main shrine here.
This is where the shrine gets its name from. It is the oldest shrine in Hino.
Kishitsu Shusui fought during the 白村江の戦い Hakusonko no tatakai

- quote -
The Battle of Baekgang, also known as Battle of Baekgang-gu or by the Japanese name
Battle of Hakusukinoe (白村江の戦い Hakusuki-no-e no Tatakai or Hakusonkō no Tatakai), was a battle between Baekje restoration forces and their ally, Yamato Japan, against the allied forces of Silla and the Tang Dynasty of ancient China. The battle took place in the lower reaches of the Geum River in Jeollabuk-do province, Korea. The Silla-Tang forces won a decisive victory, compelling Yamato Japan to withdraw completely from Korean affairs and crushing the Baekje restoration movement.
- - - More in the WIKIPEDIA !


- quote -
Kishitsu Shrine in Hino Town in Shiga Prefecture is an old shrine enshrining Gwisil Jipsa (Japanese: Kishitsu Shushi), an exiled nobleman from Paekche.
Gwisil Jipsa was the son of Gwisil Boksin (Japanese: Kishitsu Fukushin), a general of Paekche. When Paekche fell in 660, his father tried to save the nation by raising an army, but the restoration movement was besieged by the Silla-Tang allied forces. Gwisil Jipsa migrated to Japan with 700 men and women and settled in Hino Town. It is said that he was a person of culture.
Being called Fudo-do, the shrine had functioned and had been worshipped as the shrine guarding the west direction of the village until the Edo period (1603-1868). The festivals and rituals of the shrine had been performed by Muroto-kabu, the Miyaza (a specially empowered village guild concerning with shrine festivities) of the village.
In 1429, the shrine pavillion was constructed and it was named Kishitsu Shrine in honor of Gwisil Jipsa, for it is thought that Jipsa was buried in the stone chamber in back of the main hall of the shrine.

On the first of the sixth lunar month, people cut the 鏡餅 Mochi rice cake offerings from the new the New Year and eat them. They are called "bones of the demons". On this day the Oni come into the homes, but the mochi are much too hard for them to chew and so they get out soon.

In various parts of Nagasaki:

Once upon a time, when the Oni were repelled from 鬼ヶ島 Onigashima, people had grilled and burned their bones.
The Mochi rice cakes grilled on this day might get stuck in the throat, so with the soft rice gruel they can be swallowed easier.

大阪 Osaka

The Demon bones shown in Osaka at a certain temple, and the photos shown in Nagoya and Kyushu might have been the same thing.
The temple has the bones from an upper body and looked quite scary, they say.
But eventually people realized that the boned and horns of a Demon are just made-up stories and forgot about them.

tsuno　鬼の角 伝説　Oni Demon Legends about their horns



Why do Oni have horns ?

The explanation relates to the concept of
. kimon 鬼門 Oni gate - Demon Gate .
The zodiac animals associated with this 北東の方角 Northeastern region are
ushi-tora 丑寅 the bull and the tiger.
Oni are therefore usually depicted with bull horns and tiger fangs, wearing loincloths made of tiger skin.
(Tigers were not known in Japan.)

. Why are the Oni often wearing 虎柄のパンツ tiger pants? .


There are Oni with one or two horns, and some have none, see below!

Once upon a time
at the night of Setsubun 14 Oni wanted to stay over night at a home but were refused. They had to retreat to the mountain forest and finally stayed at the home of a firewood cutter. The old couple entertained their visitors with great joy and respect. To show their gratitude one Oni gave them a very expensive loincloth as a present.
The old woman was very pleased and asked them to come back next year and stay at their home again.
But the Oni laughed loud and said:
"Since I have no loincloth any more, I can not come . . . hahahaha !"
In this village people tell this story every year to make the Oni laugh.

Nara 奈良県 - 明日香村 Takaichi-gun Asukamura Hirata

Two stone formations related to Oni, possibly related to ancient tombs:

Oni no manaita 鬼の俎 / 鬼のまな板 "Devil's cutting board"
"Devil's Chopping Board"
It had been said that a devil ate people after chopping them on this stone board.



The length is about 4.5 meters, the width is about 2.7 meters, and the thickness is about 1 meter.


Oni no setchin 鬼の雪隠 "Devil's lavatory" "Demon's toilet"
Ogre's outhouse
It had been said that the devil relieved nature here.



- quote -
The flat stone at the top of the hill was called a cutting board, and the huge stone basin fallen to the fields below was called a toilet. From their size they could not have been used by humans, so a legend was born that long ago demons lived in these parts.
But these two huge stone objects are understood to have originally fit together as the chamber of a tomb. Over the years the mound covering the tomb was lost, and it is thought that someone trying to make use of the exposed stone moved the top part of the chamber, but abandoned the attempt. The flat bottom section has holes lined up regularly on its surface, which are also the result of someone trying to split the stone for reuse.
- source : city.kashihara.nara.jp/ataka -

Nearby is another stone monument : Kameishi 亀石 turtle stone
This huge granite boulder, 4.26 meters long by 2.72 meters wide and 1.94 meters high, has a carving on its underside resembling the face of an animal, and as its overall appearance is like a turtle it is called Kame ishi.

Japanese Demon Lore: Oni from Ancient Times to the Present

- quote -
Oni, ubiquitous supernatural figures in Japanese literature, lore, art, and religion, usually appear as demons or ogres. Characteristically threatening, monstrous creatures with ugly features and fearful habits, including cannibalism, they also can be harbingers of prosperity, beautiful and sexual, and especially in modern contexts, even cute and lovable. There has been much ambiguity in their character and identity over their long history. Usually male, their female manifestations convey distinctively gendered social and cultural meanings.
Oni
appear frequently in various arts and media, from Noh theater and picture scrolls to modern fiction and political propaganda, They remain common figures in popular Japanese anime, manga, and film and are becoming embedded in American and international popular culture through such media. Noriko Reiderýs book is the first in English devoted to oni. Reider fully examines their cultural history, multifaceted roles, and complex significance as "others" to the Japanese.

What is “Oniko”?
Oniko means a demon in Tsugaru dialect.
Oniko, enshrined on top of a Torii gate, is worshipped in about 30 shrines over 7 cities and towns in northwest Tsugaru County. It is not clear how enshrining Oniko on Torii gate began. It is believed that Oniko were worshipped to stop flooding of Iwaki River, hence all Oniko shrines are located alongside of Iwaki River.
Religious belief associated with Oniko on Torii gates and Suiko sama have been part of life in Tsugaru County.
Many enshrined Oniko and Suiko sama are also found in Tsuruta town.

The demons are usually perched between two beams of a Shinto shrine gate 鳥居 torii and seem to support it with all their might.
Some look like a red on blue (green) oni　赤鬼　青鬼, others like Sumo wrestlers or Yamabushi mountain priests.

The Oni-ko of Onizawa 鬼沢, by Joshua Solomon
I recently visited the town of Onizawa, a short drive from my apartment in the provincial city of Hirosaki, to visit the local shrines. Many of the shrines there are distinctive because the torii gates are decorated with carved wooden Oni (or Oni-ko in local parlance), the red ogre-like demons from which the town gets its name. These small shrines are scattered throughout the village, tucked away between rice fields, alongside the riverbank, behind a butcher’s shop ... locating them can be half the fun.

According to Japanese geomantic beliefs, northeast is an inauspicious direction related to the kimon“Oni gateway.” The zodiac animals associated with northeast are the bull and tiger, so Oni are typically depicted as cow-horned demons with tiger fangs wearing tiger-skin loincloths. It is said that Aomori, in the northeastern region of Japan, has a particular abundance of Oni.
This one was painted quite vividly:


There is a legend in Onizawa describing a benevolent Oni, more of a mountain-man than a demon.
As the story goes, the Oni was a friend of a villager 弥十郎 Yajuro, and offered to assist in the construction of a dam to collect water for his rice paddies. He did so under the condition that no-one watched him as he worked. Naturally, the villager’s wife breaks the rule by sneaking over to spy on the Oni. The Oni runs away, never to appear again; however, he leaves in such a hurry that he forgets all of his tools. The metal remains of these massive ogre-sized tools — a saw, an ax, a hoe, etc — are now collected and displayed at the Oni shrine in Onizawa.

There are many other stories like these scattered throughout the prefecture, forming a part of the invisible landscape of folkloric knowledge. Nowadays, much of that knowledge has begun to fade from the local communal consciousness, and instead is preserved on blogs and tourism websites.

鬼沢菖蒲沢地区



鬼神社の鬼
At that old time, Onizawa was called 「ながねはだち」Nagahagedachi.
鬼沢には他に、《鬼の腰掛け柏》や《鬼の土俵》など鬼伝説縁の場所がある
そのため、鬼沢の住人は今でも節分の日に豆をまかない・端午の節句にヨモギや菖蒲を屋根にのせないことを習慣にしている家庭が多い。鬼沢では、鬼が神様なのである。
鬼の正体には、田村麻呂に追われ岩木山麓に隠れ住んだ落武者であるとか、卓越した製鉄技術、潅漑技術を持っていることなどから、大陸から漂着した渡来人ではないか、という説もあるが、定かではない。

鬼沢村 a legend from Onizawa

oohito 大人 Ohito, a large man
A 木こり forest worker became friends with an Ohito and they often enjoyed 相撲 Sumo wrestling together. When the forest worker won a bout, the Ohito carried a lot of firewood bundles to his home during the night. After many times of winning, the forest worker eventually also became an Ohito and was not seen in the village again.
