Inari wants to live in peace

It was the winter of Ten Years of Yongroku.

Since Japan is in a small glacial period, severe cold persists throughout the country.So they often spend time in closed enclosures in their homes until spring arrives.

Naturally, I wanted to draw attention, but unfortunately, I was still busy at the end of the year.

Although Saturdays and Sundays were closed properly, the days between Inari Taisha Shrine and our house continued uninterrupted even in winter.

Every day in such a job, there must have been a lot of mental stress.

Now he is sitting on a tall tatami mat in front of him with his legs broken.

I'm a little out of breath after today's work.

There are seven wheels made of ceramic in the room, and burning coal keeps the temperature and humidity between sights.

And in the middle of the wire net, there was an appropriate arrangement of sweetness that would be delicious when warmed, such as yakan with hot water and dried potato yara-ankoromochi.

Inari potatoes were initially called, but I ordered them to be sweet potatoes.

Confirm that the thing that was cut and dried became soft by the seven wheels of charcoal fire in front of you, and suck it into a small mouth for your hand.

I taste winter sweets as officials are chased to the brink of working hours.

Further, I carefully painted the small wooden board that I had asked for beforehand with ink and brush.

Tokugawa-san, who was unusual there, was sitting on his desk doing paperwork while observing this behavior with an interesting expression.

"Inari, what are you doing?"

I look at him while drawing and answer the question.

"I'm drawing a picture on somebody."

"Is that so? There was a similar word for Portugal, indeed."

I don't know about Portuguese noodles, but I think it's probably something that came back.

I ignore it because it's going to be complicated if I stick around, so I'll continue.

"It was a hundred people's song, but I'm not familiar with it."

"Hmm, what does one neck look like for a hundred people?"

As the dog walks, I draw a picture of hitting a stick on a wooden board, and I use my missing head to answer Tokugawa-san's question.

It's a pretty old game, so I thought it was a big deal, but it still hasn't.

"Well, there are hundreds of Japanese songs and pictures depicted ─ ─"

Because I've seen a hundred singles on the New Year's program and some cartoons.I don't know much about it either.

Still telling Tokugawa-san with gestures, the officials who were listening around mixed up in the conversation as if they remembered something.

It looks like a shellfish song.

"Shellfish?"

"Yes, there are 200 bills in the shape of shells in the middle of the palace and in the great depths of the Daimyo."

Officials say the rule is to read the upper sentence of the shellfish tag and take the lower sentence of the shellfish.

It feels a little different from the future, but it's still pretty close to every hundred people I know.

It's just part of the palace, so it's not so widespread.

In times of peace, however, these kinds of entertainment prevail.

At this time, I thought of making reversibles and cards.

Somehow, I already have flower tags, scoops and shogi, and I don't know the rules very well in the first place, so it's completely untouched.

Mr. Tokugawa continued to ask after the explanation of each of the hundreds had been completed.

"I understand a hundred people.So, what do you mean by "kata"? "

I switch my mind and put my thoughts straight into my mouth.

"It's a play to remind you of Hiragana."

Hmm, education?

If you ask me, it might be called emotional education.

"Remember the meaning and letter of the proverb while playing.

Sure enough, it's close to teaching materials for kids. "

If a dog walks, it hits a stick, and if a demon hits a gold stick, it teaches the child in pictures and letters that are easy to understand.

Since schools have already been built throughout the country, compulsory education has also begun.

I feel like I'm studying at the temple even in my original history, so it won't have this much impact.

Besides, the child is a wind boy, and even when the cold wind blows, he/she runs around and plays outdoors, so it is difficult for him/her to take classes seriously.

However, if you learn while playing, it quickly enters your head.In fact, I remember miscellaneous studies, but when I try to study hard, I lose my focus immediately.

"Inari God is still very maternal."

What?

What does it mean to have strong maternity?

I'm just making a body so that my kids can play and learn a little bit.

"Should I say I'm full of love?"

I may have received such a rating from my past achievements, but even if I was told that I was full of love, it was as if the feeling didn't boil.

As I leaned my neck, Tokugawa-san's face turned a little red and shouted.

"I'll hire a printmaker to produce more. Are you sure?"

"I don't have enough time to paint alone, and I'll take care of the rest."

Speaking of which, the paper play I painted before has also increased production and is now widespread throughout Japan.

As a result, works and paintings of ancient Japanese tales, such as Momotaro, Kazuka Hanasaki, Gonfu, and the crying Red Demon, became Inari gods.

I have no difficulty at all, but I am completely out of step with the style of painting of our time.

Furthermore, I am somewhat sorry when I think about what will happen to the original authors of the old story.

But if that's all you want, you're far away from the comfort and tranquility you want.

On the contrary, it carries with it extra hardship and does not go to binary or ternary.

So I continued to ask people who were familiar with what was suspicious about my memory and put in corrections, and now I was immersed in changing my mood by drawing a body.

As we will discuss later, the various entertainment I have proposed will first be sold from Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo.

But we're not in charge of everything.The sales floor is only there, and manufacturing takes place in a completely different place.

It seems like a common Tokyo specialty is made in other prefectures.

Regardless, Edo was at the cutting edge of the fashion and crowds gathered, so it sold out quickly in the natural flow.

As a result, the increase in production followed the increase in production, and spread across Japan at an incredible speed.

Incidentally, Edo is the first time, but there is also Inari Taisha Shrine in the region, so we use that as a point of contact to start selling sequentially.

Naturally, I was being chased by work everywhere and cried to me, so I was told to hire a temporary priest.

In Japan in the future, there are also shrines and Buddhist shrines that recruit part-time workers during busy times such as the New Year.

Even in this day and age, we are hiring hostages together, and they should be allowed to do so.

As a result, the officials of the shrines and shrines in the country who heard the public word of Inari God were hired on a temporary basis?I don't know if that's true!Then, my awareness of religion slowed down slightly.

In addition, I was able to relieve the business of my work to some extent.
