Tamura : PhotoStory

It is cherry-blossom season in spring. A group of monks from the eastern provinces has come to the capital and is visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

A boy carrying a broom appears. He praises the cherry blossoms of the temple. Is he guarding them?

The boy tells them that Kiyomizu-dera Temple was built through the efforts of Sakanoue no Tamuramaru.

Before long, there is moonlight. The boy dances as if admiring the scene of cherry blossoms on a spring evening.

The monks ask the boy his name, but he doesn’t introduce himself. Before long, he disappears towards the hall associated with Tamuramaru.

As the monks recite the Lotus Sutra, the shogun Sakanoue no Tamuramaru appears before them.

He states that after receiving an imperial command to attack the rebels, his forces moved quickly on horseback.

The courage of battles from ancient times is displayed.

They closed in on the traitors barricaded at Mount Suzuka.

Gunfire rained down from the black clouds. Looking like mountains, the enemy advanced.

At that moment, Senju Kannon appeared and fired the arrow of wisdom at the enemy. Rain and hailstones poured down on the arrow’s target and destroyed them.
