Kijin no O-Matsu 鬼神のお松 The female bandit O-Matsu
"The Evil Omatsu"


source : kaminokura.co.jp/p
鬼神お松 くどき Kijin O-Matsu kudoki


quote -
Omatsu, usually referred to as 'Evil Omatsu', is loosely based on an historical figure: a woman outcast who used her beauty to escape her origins. The popular version falls into the female poisoner genre. Omatsu is said to have become a courtesan, seduced, married and murdered Shirosaburo, a blind samurai, become an outlaw, and ended up as leader of the bandit gang.

The prevalence of female outlaws, poisoners, ghosts, bandits, outlaws and warriors in folk tales and in ukiyo-e and kabuki dramas represent two competing ideas ..  on the one hand, they may reflect the growing status of women as Japan moved towards post Tokugawa feudalism, on the other hand they may represent the fear and anger at what was perceived as a female threat to the social order of things. In early modern British society for example, the threat of women poisoners ... particularly those who poisoned their husband was actually very small, but public apprehension of the threat was stoked by one or two show trials and the publication of block printed news sheets that whipped up a frenzy of fear and rage in the male populace.

Either way, Evil Omatsu was the subject of kabuki plays and the public were clearly thrilled at her exploits ...
albeit fictional.

The temple is now part of the New 100 Scenic Spots of Tokyo, famous for its cherry blossoms.

The daughter 和子 Masako of Shogun 徳川秀忠 Tokugawa Hidetada was cured of an eye illness after praying here, so this Yakushi is now known to cure eye diseases.

The statue of Yakushi  is said to have been carved by Kobo Daishi, with 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon at the back side, as a double-statue, covered with gold.
The statue belonged to the 新田氏 Nitta clan in the Kamakura period and was then lost.
Much later in the 南北朝 Nanboku period in 1586 a monk named Gyoshun built a hermitage to pray for peace of the country. At night he could see a special light at the bottom of a plum tree and when he took a closer look at the place, he found the statue of the Nitta clan.
The name of the temple reflects this episode:
Bai Sho In 梅照院 Hermitage of the Shining Plum Tree
The statue is now secret, shown only every 12 years in the 寅年 Year of the Tiger.

Jinmaku was born in Ou District, Izumo Province (modern Yatsuka District, Shimane). His real name may have been Shintaro Ishigura (石倉槇太郎, Ishigura Shintarō).

..... Jinmaku won 87 bouts and lost only 5 bouts in the top maku-uchi division. All his defeats came when he was ranked as a maegashira and sekiwake. He is the only wrestler to have never lost a bout as a yokozuna.

. Legends and Tales from Japan　伝説 - Introduction .

In the forest are sometimes nails of a Tengu on the ground, they say.
They are blue-black and rather large. They almost look like stone and the top part is bent, like the claws of a beast.
The local people go searching for them after a strong rainstorm. When put in water, the solution would cure high fever.

..............................................................................................................................................

During the times of Tokugawa Ieyasu there came a tengu to a temple, where a strong priest lived. He wanted to fight with him and if he won, would get the right arm of the priest. He won, but he did not cut the arm off, but only borrowed the "strength" of the arm.
After seven days, the Tengu came back and returned the "strength" of the arm. The priest was now strong as before.
To show his gratitude, the Tengu also gave him one of his nails.

The Tengu lives in the local mountain and sometimes comes around to visit the villages.
Since the Tengu scratched the mountain ever so often, there are now no trees growing on it.

Since about 1715, at the temple 丹州国分寺 Kokubunji in Tanshu (the Tango/Tanba region) they show a statue of Yakushi Nyorai 薬師如来 and also the nails of a Tengu.

At the shrine 天石立神社 Amanoiwatate Jinja, the famous samurai 柳生 石舟斎 宗厳　Yagyu "Sekishūsai" Munetoshi (1527 - 1606) practised martial arts. Night after night a Tengu was his partner. Once he thought he had cut the Tengu, but when he looked closer the next morning, there was only a huge rock with a cut.
This is the Ittoseki 一刀石.
Scratches of the Tengu's nails 天狗の爪痕 are still seen on the stone to our day -
if you look closely.

徳島県 Tokushima

In 阿波国津田山 Tsudayama (Awa no Kuni) there was a strong thunderstorm and many strange things fell from heaven.
Among them was the nail of a Tengu, like the plectrum of a Shamisen, rather purple-black and like a stone.

.......................................................................
富山県 Toyama 東砺波郡 Higashitonami district 福野町 Fukunomachi

At 烏堂の宮 Karasudo ni Miya once they heard the voices of two people struggeling and shouting. Next morning they found nails with blood on them. These are the Nails of a Tengu.

.......................................................................
山形県 Yamagata 北村山郡 Kitamurayama district 大石田町 Oishida

At the temple 向川寺 Kosen-Ji there are some 手まり石 round stones which the Tengu used to play with - once upon a long time.
During daytime the Tengu kept in hiding, but at night they came out and abducted children. People who saw them lost their mind. Next morning they had some scratches of Tengu nails on their body.
Once during a festival a child was abducted and next morning they found scratches of Tengu nails on all over the stem of the Temple pine tree.



There is another story about the Tengu from Kosen-Ji.
One day the mud wall around the temple was broken down at some parts and the priest repaired it. Nest morning the wall was broken again, even if the night had been quiet and no thunderstorm occured.
On another day the paper doors, which had just been repaired, were torn again the next morning.
Eventually the priest understood: If he had talked bad about the Tengu in the neighbourhood, something would happen during the night. Since then, the priest stopped talking lightly of the Tengu and begun to venerate him.

天狗が登り降りしたという大杉には、天狗の爪跡がはっきりついていると伝えられている。また、向川寺に飾られている大きな石には、天狗が握った時についた指の跡がくっきりと残っている。今の時代には考えられない物語である。
向川寺から坂を登って10分位の所に天狗の相撲取り場が今でも残っている。本当に天狗なんて存在したのだろうか。

There is also a children's song about the Tengu
ナンマイダー　ナンマイダー
後ろを見れば　黒滝山
黒滝山は　向川寺
向川寺には　天狗がいる
前を見れば　最上川
最上川には　舟がある
