| Shrine Ishiura Jinja 石浦神社 石川県金沢市 Ishikawa prefecture, Kanazawa town 金沢市本多町３丁目１－３０ quote The name "Kanazawa" (金沢), which literally means "marsh of gold", is said to derive from the legend of the peasant Imohori Togoro (lit. "Togoro Potato-digger"), who was digging for potatoes when flakes of gold washed up. The well in the grounds of Kenrokuen known as 'Kinjo Reitaku' (金城麗澤) was recreated by the Maeda lords to acknowledge these roots. The area where Kanazawa is was originally known as Ishiura, and the Ishiura Shrine near Kenrokuen is a remnant of this period. © More in the WIKIPEDIA ! This is the oldest shrine in Kanazawa, dating back to the eighth century. quote The Ishiura Shrine is said to have been built in the Tensho Era as a local shrine for seven villages in the Ishiura district. It was moved from Shimohonda-cho to its current site in 1880. Over 255 trees surround the shrine, forming an oasis in the center of the city. Kanazawa City designated the shrine a Preserved Forest in 1983. The big votive light in the precincts of the shrine is located in the middle of Hirosaka, between the shrine and Kenrokuen Garden, and also served as a light for the area. Ujiko Chizu (the Map of Ujiko) (*Ujiko means people under the protection of the local deity), which is owned by the shrine, was made in 1631. It shows 14 villages in Ishikawa County and is called "Kashu Ishikawa-no-kohri Utsushi Ezu 加州石川郡写絵図" (Pictures of Ishikawa County, Kashu Prefecture). The map shows the locations of feudal warriors' residences, temples and shrines, towns, villages, slopes, and bridges, giving an idea of what the castle town of Kanazawa used to look like. source : www.city.kanazawa.ishikawa.jp  Take a walk: A very beautiful shrine just next to Kenrokuen garden, located next to one of the entrances to Kenrokuen. source : www.youtube.com ................................................................................  source : xxx Ujiko Chizu 氏子地図 Map of the Ujiko of Ishiura Shrine ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: UBUSUNA Deities in residence 七ヶ村の産土神 Oomono nushi 大物主神, 大物主大神 Ooyamakui no kami 大山咋神 (Yamasue no oonushi no kami 山末之大主神) Amaterasu oomikami 天照大神 Kukuri hime no kami 菊理媛神 (Shirayama hime no kami 白山比咩神 ) . ubusunagami 産土神 deity of the birthplace . ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: manpuku mikuji 万福みくじ amulet for tenthousand-fold good luck quote  It contains 10 different seals for various purposes, and Daruma for the realization of a wish 成就 is one of them.   manekineko mikuji 招き猫おみくじ with the beckoning cat source : hokuriku/ishikawa :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: More Amulets   ishi musubi 石結び finidng a partner and "May we be bound as strong unwavering as stones" or "If your own wish is strong as stone, it will come true".
