Daigakuin Temple

3.5

"This ancient Soto Buddhist temple was founded in 1605. Originally the family temple of Nakamura Hikozaemon Kazushige, lord of Numazu Castle in Suruga Province (now Shizuoka Prefecture) and called the Keikyuji, the temple was moved to what is now Yabase when Nakamura was forcibly relocated here by the government. Satomi Tadayoshi, the last lord of Tateyama Castle in Awa Province (now Chiba Prefecture), whose tale served as the basis for Takizawa Bakin's novel ""Nanso Satomi hakkenden"", is buried on the grounds. Eight of his retainers are also buried here, and eight stone statues of dogs face the graves. An ancient Ming China Sancai bowl, which records state was willed to the temple by Satomi Tadayoshi, has been designated a Protected Cultural Property by the prefecture."

米子から鳥取に行く間に、寄り道しました。白い倉の街を散策していたところ、街歩きマップで目に止まり訪れました。

南総里見八犬伝のモデルになった里見忠義公と殉死した八人の墓がある。個人的には非常に興味深かった。山門もなかなか立派。
里見家の墓所

Reviewed : 2019.12.23

南総里見八犬伝のモデルと言われる里見家の墓所が有ります。なので、境内に犬の像が８体有ります。ただし、お寺そのものにはさほど特色は無かったです。
