Eight Cedar Trees (Kitsumachi, Yunnan City)

Yamotosugi (Kijimachi, Yunnan City) is said to have buried the "eight corners" of the "Shirshi no Suginari" Yagi Daija (yamata no orochi) from Kamishiro.

From here, I will explain the name of the listed shrine in chronological order.

First of all, "Izumo Kaoru Fudoki" was completed on February 30, 733, about
1300 years ago. Next, the Enki-style God Name Book, which was completed about
1100 years ago and in the middle of the Heian period (extended 5 years and 927 years), is the last of the "Izumo-an Fudoki" and "Enki-style God Name Book" (present-day shrine).

Shrines are very old, from the days when the gods flourished. And the Death Is Still Going on

It is said that the present cedar was planted after the flood in 1873.

【由緒】(history)

Hachihon sugi is said to have planted eight cedars on top of it, burying its eight corners so that the large snake (orochi) would not come back to life and harm people after Susanoo no Okoto exterminated the Yagi Great Serpent.

From the two guide boards

The origin of
the hachimoto cedar The main protagonists in Izumo mythology are Susa no Omoto and Yagi Daija.

This Hachimotosugi is the old battlefield, and in the story of the Yaki Great Serpent exterminating on Kojiki, Susao's life (Susa no Monoto) is one of the head with one, and the tail exterminates eight large snakes,
It is said that the name of the eight cedar occurred from the place where the eight snake heads were buried in this ground and eight cedars were planted in commemoration.

Hachimoto cedar, a place derived from the legend of the Yagi Great Serpent
Susanoo life is a place where eight heads are buried here and cedars are planted on it so as not to exterminate the great snake of Yagi, to come back to life, and to harm people.
And, it is a place where poetry is enshrined as 'the cedar starving of the grace of the person who is ours, and the generation of the end which defends Yaegaki or Kokomi'

斐伊神社 Hii Shrine

In Izumokuni Fudoki, two shrines are written, one of which is compared to the Aoi Shrine.

Another company, Hiyakojija Shrine, is thought to have been around Hachimotosugi.
It is thought that in the middle of the Heian period, it was held at Goden Shrine.

The main deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Inada Hime-no-Mikoto, and Itono-Owari-no-Mikoto.
The deities of the Hii Inami Yabiko Shrine, which was enshrined in the shrine, are two gods in addition to Hihaya Hikono Mikoto.

In the Edo period, the shrine was called "Miyazaki (Saitama) Daimyojin" by taking a small character (koza) in its location.

【神社にお詣り】(Pray at the shrine)

From the precincts of hii shrine (hii shrine) to the west over the railway line 150m on foot, you can see the tall cedar tree "hachihon sugi".

Arrived at Hachihonsugi

Hachihonsugi
is said to have been washed away by the flooding of the Aoi River many times since then. It is said that the present cedar tree was planted in
1873. Because it is an old shrine site of the shrine, a torii gate is built, and a stone monument which shows the eight cedars is built.

The eight cedar large trees planted in an orderly order around the stone monument are in the th home, but they are a mysterious space.

"Unyo shi" a tradition in the village of Hisasato, Ohara-gun

In "Unyo shi"
The present "hii shrine" is written as "Miyazaki Daimyojin"

a
translation of one's intention "Hisago Satochi Hachimotosugi"
I buried the "eight horns" of the Yamata no orochi.

From The Gods, the
Cedar of the Shinshiro The old man tells us that the song that Susanoo no mikoto sang at the time when eight cedars were planted

"The cedar of the grace of the person who looks at me is hungry, and Yaegaki is the last generation to protect it"

It flowed in the flood in 1633, and the cedar of the god generation withered, and it re-planted, and eight kakusugi (tsunosugi) now are in Tanaka of the soho.
