Oomiya, Ōmiya 大宮 Omiya in Saitama
- quote wikipedia
Ōmiya (大宮区, Ōmiya-ku) is one of ten wards of the city of Saitama, in Saitama Prefecture, and is located in the northeastern part of the city. Although Urawa-ku is the governmental center of Saitama City, Ōmiya-ku is the most active commercial and business centre in both Saitama City and Saitama Prefecture thanks to its transport infrastructure, especially railways connected at Ōmiya Station.
- - - - - History
Ōmiya derives its name from a famous Shinto shrine, the Hikawa Shrine, which has been a place of pilgrimage since at least the Heian period.
During the Edo period, the area flourished as Ōmiya-shuku, a post station on the Nakasendō highway, which connected Edo with Kyoto.
Following the Meiji restoration, it became part of Urawa Prefecture which merged with Iwatsuki, Urawa, and Oshi Prefectures in 1871 to form Saitama Prefecture. The modern town of Ōmiya was officially created within Kitaadachi District, Saitama with the establishment of the municipalities system on April 1, 1889.
On November 3, 1940 Ōmiya merged with the neighboring villages of Mihashi, Osato, Miyahara and Nisshin and was elevated to city status. Ōmiya continued to expand after the end of the war, absorbing the villages of Sashiougi, Mamiya, Uemizu, Katayanagi, Haruoka, and Nanasato on January 1, 1955.
On May 1, 2001 Ōmiya merged with Urawa and Yono to form Saitama City. In April 2003 Saitama became a city designated by government ordinance, and now the area of former Ōmiya City was divided between
Kita-ku (north), Minuma-ku (east), Nishi-ku (west), and Ōmiya-ku (south).

Ōmiya Hachimangū 大宮八幡宮 Shrine Omiya Hachimangu
Ōmiya Hachimangū Shrine, also called Wada Hachimangū, was built by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi
in 1063 (the sixth year of Kōhei),
on his way back from the Early Nine Years' War, as a branch of Iwashimizu Hachimangū Shrine in Kyoto,
which was closely associated with the Minamoto Clan.

Kurakake no matsu 鞍掛松 saddle-hanging pine tree
There is a pine tree with the bent trunk on the approach to Ōmiya Hachimangū Shrine.
Legend has it that when Minamoto no Yoshiie hung his horse saddle on a branch of this pine tree
on his way to conquer Ōshū and so it was called "Kurakake-no-Matsu" (saddle-hanging pine tree).
- source : Tokyo Metropolitan Museum -
- quote -
Kurakake no matsu
The stocks of the Minamoto Clan had risen immensely since the end of the Former Nine Years War in 1063. Lead by the astonishingly capable warrior, Minamoto no Yoshiie, the Minamoto rose with military power and earned the right to rule over the northern provinces of Japan.
But success brings with it its own trials and the Kiyowara, once allies of the Minamoto twenty years earlier in the Former Nine Years War, had begun proving themselves poor stewards in the north. Agitating against Minamoto rule far from Kyoto, house Kiyowara earned the ire of Minamoto no Yoshiie. Now known as Hachiman-taro - the Son of the God of War - the Kiyowara would soon have a fight on their hands.
Travel by horseback was convenient, but also tiring and on his way, Yoshiie stopped to rest in the area now known as Suginami City. Unsaddling his ride, Yoshiie found a pine tree on which to hang the saddle and allow his horse to rest. While peaceful for the moment, the subsequent three years would see some savage warfare in the distant north. Minamoto no Yoshiie would eventually emerge victorious, but on that day, in Suginami, the legendary warrior would rest, his future unknown.
With its twisted trunk bending towards the sky, Kurakake no Matsu - the saddle-hanging pine tree - lies on the road to Omiya Hachimangu Shrine in Tokyo's Suginami City. Surrounded by homes, roads and telephone poles, this lone pine tree has hundreds of years of legend behind it, a living memorial to one of Japan's most legendary sons.
