Inari wants to live in peace

The number of visitors to Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo began to increase significantly from all over Japan as the year changed to Treasure Young.

The reflection in the numbers is too pronounced, so why did worship come into fashion?Unexpectedly, he leaned his neck so incomprehensible.

However, if you think calmly, I think it is caused by the steam locomotive commencing normal business.

There may have been various other factors overlapping, but I didn't know it with my missing head.

Anyway, walking and horses can take days to get around in less than a day, so it's an incredible innovation.

The number of steam locomotives is still small and the deterioration of each component is considerably faster than in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the number of units per day and increase the opportunities for maintenance and inspection.

In addition, the railway tracks are laid in Honshu's various clans, but there are also quite a few stops.

Recently, it is good to bridge the sea to connect Kyushu and Shikoku, but you still have one main road.

More than anything else, tickets are expensive, but cheaper than walking, horses, or boats, and you can get to your destination faster in time.

Also, since there were many customers combined with the rarity of things, the seat was full every day.

As a result, the flow of people changes greatly, which affects various occupations.

But, well, I've been advising you there for a long time, and I can't disobey the times.

I also have a little knowledge of future hotel management and tourist destinations, so I consulted with officials of the Edo Shogunate and distributed the main points in writing to the whole country.

The rest depended on the hard work of the locals.

There were various circumstances like this, but that's not the biggest problem this time.

It is important to note that millions of rice tours are being carried out from all over Japan.

The aura has already appeared in the form of an increase in the number of worshippers, and since there is no indication of a uniform decrease, it was expected to exceed the processing capacity of clergy next year.

And in the spring of Hoshinaga New Year, today's priests have come all the way to our home to solve an unprecedented crisis.

Invite him into the house with a tired face and let him sit in the cushion laid in front of the deck in the living room.

Then I gently served milk agar mixed with warm brown tea and syrup pickled mica, and I sat in my seat.

"I think you've already heard the story.So I will skip the explanation, but what should I do? "

I want to give him an accurate answer to God's favor in times of trouble.

However, I am unprofessional when it comes to management, which makes it a very difficult answer.

Therefore, while moisturizing her throat with the hojicha poured into her favorite bath, she gives her on-the-spot opinions.

"Why don't you hire a casual hire and get ahead of the rush?"

"Is that all you have?"

After drinking tea just like I did, he muttered with a sigh.

It is an extremely simple measure, but it is the most effective one at present.

Hire staff early to gain experience and prepare for the upcoming wave.

But did the Lord come all the way to my house to hear such an answer as anyone could think of?

Even if I respond, I still have a tired expression, so there may be other worries.

It doesn't suit my sex, so I'll ask before I think about it.

"Do you have any other concerns?"

"Yes, actually ─ ─"

Apparently, this is our destiny.

After putting the tea on the table, he corrected his posture and made a serious face, telling me about the problems caused by the rice balls.

"After the shogunate was opened in Edo, faith gathered in Inari gods, while the forces of other shrines and Buddhist shrines greatly declined.

And it's obvious that this difference will be noticeable in the upcoming Inari visit. "

I somehow figured out what the god wanted to say with those words.

I cannot complain to the Emperor, the supreme ruler of Japan.Doing so will turn many people into enemies.

And when faith in Inari gods gathers, other religions will eat up relative to each other, and those who believe in God and Buddha cannot be pleased with such a situation.

If the difference is even wider due to the arrival of Inari, I and the Inari Shrine in Edo will want to crush other Inari shrines.

Man is an emotionally moving creature, and not everyone can be a saint or a prince.

I call myself Inari God, but the contents are snobs.

Well, anyway, I largely understood the story.Then there is one thing I can say.

Before doing so, ask the god if his interpretation is correct.

"Will other religions avoid trouble if they don't eat?"

"Probably, but..."

Beyond religious boundaries, it's easy to talk about getting along.In reality, it is easy to say and difficult to do, and it is a deep problem that has not been solved even in the future.

But I am the Inari god, to say the least.At least in Japan, it can serve as a deterrent to disputes.

Then now is the time to make effective use of your high stature in vain.

"There is only one way to solve this problem."

"Oh, what's that like!?"

The priest stepped forward and asked.

It feels like it's interesting because it's scratching the straw, so I'm sure you've been worried about it so far.

Then I'll just push my brain muscles to solve it.

"We will make Inari Shrine in Edo a complex of all religions, including the shrine Buddhist Church."

What?

The priest was completely silent.Apparently I can't catch up with you.

Incidentally, it is an Edo period religious view, but even though I believe in Buddha, I sell Shinto amulets, and vice versa.

Therefore, not only are they normally placed in shrines and pavilions across the country, such as Inari God's related goods, which are the best sellers, but the rituals that reward fox daughters are also the same.

I can't think about it in the future, but it's ridiculous to go beyond the barrier of religion and penetrate into everything because everyone is doing it.

But after all, the Inari Shrine is no match for the main shrine, and the resentment accumulates.

That's why I decided to use it the other way around this time.

If the hedge is gabby, it won't be a big problem to incorporate other religions.

And whatever happens, it's the Inari God's knee.

No one would sell me a fight from the front, and I decided it was going to work.

After hearing this explanation silently, the priest eventually loosens his mouth a little and smiles.

"This can only be accomplished by Inari God.

Even if you think of it in the first place, it's impossible for others to do it. "

It is certainly no wonder who came up with it, but it is a plan that ordinary people cannot implement.

Religious wars are frequent even in the future, so peace is not safe.

However, all the religions practised in Japan in the clandestine country are rooted in the land of Japan and are separated from the main house.

Now that I can't get help from foreigners and missionaries, I can only accept destiny like a carp on a cutting board if I say I want to get along.

But I will tell the god clearly that I do not intend to engage in religious repression.

"I won't order you to obey me.

There are also benefits to be gained as a community with Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo, and worshippers will be distributed among other religions. "

Looking at this composition alone, it feels like I am at the top of Japan's religious world.

The Inari god is actually the most momentum, so there is no mistake.

I don't really like it, but now I have to take it seriously to clear this mess.

"Certainly, this way, we can also offer benefits to each religion.It's also going to be a jetty for visitors who want to visit us. "

That's what I'm talking about.

Having come to an end of the discussion, I drink a completely lukewarm ginger tea.

In the meantime, I indicated a plan to solve the problem, so I will leave it to the judgment of the scene.

I don't want to work under sweat, so let me live in peace in my home in the back of the woods.

In fact, there's never been a better time for God.

With that in mind, I decided to step back and see him off to the front door.

However, there was a story from the priest that not only Inari Taisha Shrine but also the reconstruction work of my house would be taken into account.

When I heard that, I stopped moving and was stunned.

As will be discussed at a later date, the complex plan of religions throughout Japan worked very well.

You can appeal to friendship on the surface by entering Inari God's umbrella.

In addition, each religion can fully benefit from visiting visitors and preach their own sect honorably.

However, it was unexpected that this made Edo the most famous spot.

Not only the rice visitors, but also many other tourists.

Despite the successful decentralization of worshippers, until the epidemic ended, Edo priestly officials could not sleep well and became stuffed with work.

It had nothing to do with that, but my house was also newly built.

Ranked up from a small mountain hut to a solo home.

Since cooking, washing and cleaning becomes difficult, I strongly requested that you make it as small as possible, so the floor plan is roughly the same as the 3LDK of the apartment.

It is a proud home with a bungalow that is accessible to suit your height and packed with the skills of a Miyagi carpenter.

However, the carpenters involved in architecture, so to speak, were given the opportunity to help God Inari, but it ended in a short period of time, and there was no need to swing their arms.

She was so sad and deeply regretful.
