Virtual Yashima Domain 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #13 Obukiriver Community Center?

 

     Kyuemon lived in Kurobuchi Village and had an image of Cintamanicakra, who usually has 6 arms and holds chintamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel) in one of the six.  The image was moved to Obukiriver Community Center.

     Kurobuchi Village was owned by the Iseiji-Ikoma Family, a branch of the Ikoma Family, who ruled Yashima Domain.  The Iseiji-Ikoma Family owned 11 villages in Yuri County, and their territory was actually ruled by the Ikeda Family, who used to live in Ganzo-43-1 Otake, Nikaho, Akita 018-0322.

     It is unknown whether the 1679 Peasant Revolt involved the Iseiji-Ikoma Family's territory or not.

     The relatives of Abe Muneto (?-1032), who was based in Tonomi-no-saku Fortress, are said to have lived in the Iseiji area.  In the Warring States Period, the Nikaho Family ruled the area.  It is unknown if the Ikeda Family had something to do with the Abe Family and/or the Nikaho Family.
