Waterfalles named "Fudo no Taki" 不動の滝
An impressive waterfall is considered the personification of Fudo, for example the Great Waterfall at Nachi, about which I wrote in the story about
Kumano.

Azabu keikoku 浅布渓谷 Azabu Gorge
Azabu Gorge is a 1.6 km gorge located in the upstream of the Hazama River, which flows out of Mt. Kurikoma in the northern part of Miyagi Prefecture. It is known as a scenic place where eroded rocks create wonderful figurative art of nature.
The varied scenery of the gorge includes two waterfalls, to both of which visitors can get near by taking the walking trails.
The Fudo Waterfall flows down gently with a full river width, while the Shikan-no-taki Waterfall flows down dynamically with splashes of water from the narrow torrent.
In summer, a lot of people come to enjoy fishing, viewing fresh tender green and bathing in cool flow of water. In fall, dense foliage covering rocks turn red and yellow and add flamboyant colors to the landscape. Viewing beautiful red and yellow patterns created on rock surfaces and listening to the sounds of stream, you will be able to spend a luxurious time of refreshment and relaxation.

幸田町 不動ヶ滝 The Fudogataki Waterfall in Koda Town
The Fudogataki Waterfall in Fudogataki-en Park in Koda Town, Aichi Prefecture, is an artificial waterfall with a height of 6 m and a width of 5 m. The park is a part of Mikawa Bay Quasi-National Park.
Clear stream that springs out of Mt. Tobone flows down gently over an artificial stone wall built in the park. Though the water volume is small, water is cold even in summer and provides a fine and safe bathing pond for children.
Surrounded with fresh green trees, Fudogataki-en Park is designed to utilize natural land features. As the park is equipped with a camping site for 60 people, cooking facilities, kiosks and picnic shelters, visitors can fully enjoy various outdoor activities. The Waterfall Festival is held in July every year.

Takamori Fudo Waterfall
高さ50ｍ、幅10m余りで、規模の大きさといい、周囲の谷間も広く、雄大な景観は実に素晴らしい。 若芽萌える春に、夏の涼を求めるに、秋の紅葉に、又、冬は全面結氷して、巨大な氷岩となり、四季を通じて訪れる人が多い。長野県自然百選の一つである。

Spirit-king of the waterfall
鳥山石燕『今昔百鬼拾遺』 Illustration by Toriyama Sekien
諸国の滝つぼよりあらはるると云 青竜疏に一切の鬼魅諸障を伏すと云々
There are many waterfalls in Japan, where this Yokai appears..
One is mentioned in the 青竜疏 Blue Dragon Commentary by Saicho.
It is not really a Yokai, but seems to be Fudo Myo-O himself.
. Saicho, Dengyo Daishi 最澄 伝教大師 .
(766 - 822) - established the Tendai Sect.
Another legend knows this as its origin:
Once the priest 相応和尚 So-o of the temple 葛川息障明王院 Katsuragawa Sokusho Myo-O In Myo-O In in Shiga found a 霊木 divine tree in the waterfall basin and carved this statue of Fudo Myo-O out of it.
. 建立大師相応和尚 Konryu Daishi So-O Kasho .
(833 - 918)
and the Katsuragawa 葛川息障明王院 Katsuragawa Sokusho Myo-O In
The statue of Fudo is a secret statue and only shown on the 28th day of the 8th month.

ReplyDeleteThere is a legend of the water fall.
After Revolt of Hogen Heiji( 1156-1159), Many Ochimusha (落ち武者；Defeated soldiers fleeing the enemy) fled and came to Tsukechi Valley.
And they built a temple .
Chisho( 智澄) who was a super extra high rank monk was the temple master.
He was a monk who was a veterinary expert.
BUT
he seemed to be stingy with money.He had much coins in his temple.
When He was 74 years old, he was killed by the village people.
I think, only he was rich.
Many villegers were poor. So villegers vented their frustration against Chisho monk.
After they killd Chisho, Villegers threw his body from a bridge at the lower part of a river..
A strange thing happened to Monk’s body.
The Monk’s Body went up the river and arrived the waterfall.
For a while , Monk’s body ( it is said that is was only Monk’s head) was turning around under the waterfall.
After the Monk's murder , people who are responsible for Monk murder have had misfortune or mysterious death.
It is said that Fudo Myoo statue was built in order to soothe Chisho ‘s vengeful spirit .
Because Fudoo Myoo beats all bad spirits.

ReplyDeleteThe 赤滝の不動様 Fudo from Akataki "Red Waterfall" has special powers to heal eye disease.
Sometimes he changes into 大蛇 a huge serpent and people who happen to wintess this are cursed. Therefore all are quite afraid of this place.

Fudonishi Ichihasama, Kurihara, Miyagi

Waterfall purification is performed on January 15 every year at Kozo Fudo Sui Shrine in Ichihasama Nagasaki in Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture. The men who have reached their Yaku-doshi (the unlucky ages) and who have attained adulthood participate in the purification.
At around 7:00 in the evening, the men wearing loincloths, straw sandals and headbands march into the precinct of the shrine, carrying the Mikoshi made of straw rice bags. After they offer a prayer for their safety during the purification ritual, they run to the Kozo-Fudo Waterfall and jump into the basin with renewed vigor.

識蘆の滝 Shikiro no taki
ReplyDeleteThe Shikiro Waterfall Shiga
The Shikiro Waterfall is located in the valley behind Eigenji Temple in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. This 25 m tall waterfall flows down in two stages; the upper stage is 20 m tall and the lower is 5 m tall.
The name “Shikiro” derives from “Shikiro-an,” a hermitage built by Ogura Sanezumi, who was both a good warrior and a good scholar in the late Muromachi period (1336-1573). It is said that he took clear water from this waterfall to offer it to the statue of Buddha every morning.
A small statue of Fudo Myoo stands beside the waterfall today.
The waterfall dynamically gushes down the tall cliff. It looks especially beautiful in fall, when it is surrounded with autumn leaves. The water flows at a slant in the upper stage into the first basin, from which it flows down as if it was kinked into the lower basin. The white flow and the emerald green basin make a wonderful contrast. You can enjoy a moment of coolness even in the midst of the hot summer.

chi no ike jigoku 血の池地獄 the blood pond of hell
There is ritual near the 観音橋 Kannon bridge over the small river on the way to the 不動の瀧 Fudo Waterfall. Women who have died giving birth are supposed to fall into the blood pond of hell, but on this bridge they have put some white cotton cloths on sticks. People passing here can scoop sone water and if the cloths make a whole to let the water through, the soul of the dead person will be saved and soon go to the Buddhist paradise.
