Cultural property designated by Inagi City in 2020

On October 13, 2020, two cultural properties were designated as designated cultural properties by the Inagi City Board of Education.

Jorakuji Temple's hitenzuyo and dragon charts

On the mirrored ceiling of the Amida-do Hall of Jorakuji Temple in Higashi-Naganuma, there remain paintings of flying heavens and dragons drawn by the five Aizawa artists of the late Edo period. In the central part of the mirrored ceiling of the Amida-do Hall, there is a drawing of flying heaven, and in the grids on both sides of it, there are four drawing of dragons, for a total of eight.
In the drawing of Hiten, two celestial maidens called Hiten each play flutes and play nyohachi (small cymbal-like instruments), and are depicted skillfully in rich colors as they soar through the air.
Comparing the seals and seals with other works, it is estimated that the work was painted before 1798, which is the earliest period among the works of the five schools.

Materials related to Fuji-ko

Fuji-ko is a group of people who try to gain worldly benefits by visiting Mt. It consists of 89 items such as Yamatomi-ko ceremonial tools, document materials such as the name list of the class, Fuji-ko costumes, Fuji-ko souvenirs, and photographs of Fuji-ko. (Note: A ko is a group of people who share the same faith. At the Fuji-ko, the members saved up a kokin, and used that money to visit Mt. Fuji.)
These materials related to Fuji-ko were donated by the Sasakubo family, who served as instructors and leaders of Fuji-ko in Yanoguchi, Inagi City. This document clarifies the beliefs and activities of Fuji-ko.
