Pine showing the spirit of the feudal retainer of Iwakuni domain

Original Text

When the daimyo procession passed through the castle of other domains, it was courtesy to defeat the domain, but in the procession of the large domain, he looked down on the Iwakuni domain, a small domain, and passed without defeating the domain. It is said that the Iwakuni feudal retainers who were angry at this planted it to prevent them from passing without defeating the spear. It is located at the foot of Kintai Bridge.

It is a pine tree just across the Kintai Bridge, and branches overhang so that it covers the bridge. There is a legend that it was planted to defeat the spear of the daimyo procession. The current pine tree is said to be its descendant, but the trunk was thick and the leaves were deep green and there was a tree power.

did you get a drink?

It is a pine with good branches in Nishizume, Kintaibashi. As for the so-called, as the reviewers say, Mr. Yoshikawa is quite sorry that he was treated as Karo by Mr. Mori for a long time and even was vainly appointed as a daimyo passing by. The pine itself, which has grown from seeds of diameter, is splendid, and boasts its majesty against the background of Kintai Bridge.

I'm sorry.

Original Text

The pine tree on the left side after crossing the Kintai Bridge. When the daimyo procession passed through the key points of the domain due to the change of Sankin, it was polite to defeat the spear, but it was said that no one defeated it with only ６ Mangoku. Therefore, when he planted a pine tree with good branches on the ridge of the bridge, he began to defeat the spear even if he did not like it. It can be said that it was the spirit of the Iwakuni feudal retainer, but there is no record that he planted it with real consciousness.

it was a samurai's pride.

It is located just across the Kintai Bridge. If the country that passed during the change of Sankin was a small country, it could proceed without defeating the spear, that is, it could proceed in a despised manner. It seems that a feudal retainer of the Iwakuni clan at that time, who was resentful of this, planted a pine tree lying sideways and forced it to be defeated. It's a story that shows the pride of samurai.
