This time, Yoshimitsu Ashikaga And Kinkakuji I will introduce about.
What was the purpose of Kinkakuji Temple?
And what did Yoshimitsu Ashikaga do other than the construction of Kinkakuji Temple?
Let's go.
Yoshimitsu Ashikaga, Easy Profile
1358 , Muromachi Shogunate 2nd Shogun ・ Ashikaga Yoshiakira I was born in Kyoto as a child of Mr.
As a child, the emperor "Northern Court" in Kyoto And Nara's "Southern Court" It was divided and fought.
Even within the shogunate, there are constant conflicts, and Yoshimitsu is a temple and Harima . I was evacuating to a castle in (Hyogo).
Around 12 years old , His father died of illness. He became the third shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate at an early age.
Around 17 years old , Hino Nariko Married.
Around 21 , Moved his mansion to Kitakoji Muromachi, Kyoto.
Each daimyo presented seasonal flowers and trees, and later "Muromachi Palace" Will be called.
"Bakufu" used as a matter of course The word has been used since the middle of the Edo period, and it is said that the Ashikaga family's "Muromachi Shogunate" is derived from this.
Around 26 years old By then, the first shogun, Ashikaga Takauji I will continue to be promoted to a position that surpasses my father who was a second shogun.
In addition, samurai and public houses It has climbed to the top of both powers.
Around 35 , Negotiations started when the power of the Southern Court was weakening.
Reconciled the divided Emperor's family on the condition that they take the throne alternately.
Ending the "North and South Dynasties" that lasted for 58 years I let you.
Around 38 , Transferred his general position to his firstborn and retired. And priesthood ..
The reason for the priesthood was to reach the top of the samurai and public houses, and the rest thought to control the power of temples and shrines . It is said to be for. How much human greed is there ...
When I was in my twenties He tries to trade with Ming (China), but "I do not trade with the emperor's vassals!" I was rejected because of that.
However, Yoshimitsu, who was a priest, is no longer a vassal of the emperor, so he begins to trade with his long-cherished desire.
From the Emperor of the Ming, "King of Japan" Was even called. Finally there.
Around 44 , Moved to Kitayama, Kyoto and built Kinkakuji Temple.
And 51 years old , Died of illness.
Yoshimitsu's selfish personality!
Young Yoshimitsu was in Osaka on his way back to Kyoto, "The scenery here is good, so let's bring it back to Kyoto. You guys should carry it!" Order his vassals.
It's a word that is evaluated for its size, but it's just like selfishness. You can see what kind of personality it was just in this episode.
Yoshimitsu has a strong admiration for Ming, and when he changes his year, Ming's Hongwu Emperor "Hong" I tried to put the character, but it was not adopted as an ominous character associated with floods.
Yoshimitsu, who was in a bad mood, is said to have not changed his era while he was alive . ..
As a result, " Oei " The year is the longest before the Meiji era.
Yoshimitsu's politics is not punished even if the strong one disobeys the order, but the weak one is punished severely even if the sin is light.
Since Yoshimitsu was the most prosperous era in the Muromachi period, was this the correct answer? I'm not surprised at all.
He didn't allow him to be late, and he seemed to be noisy about himself and his surrounding clothes.
The secret of Kinkakuji Temple!
Super famous "Kinkakuji " ".
Looking only at the photos, shiny I was fascinated by it, and I wondered if it was a two-story building, but three-story building ..
The 2nd and 3rd floors are tightly shiny gold leaf However, the first floor is quite normal.
First of all, why so shiny That's because Yoshimitsu wanted to show his power . It is said that. You had a strong desire to reveal yourself.
Kinkakuji has a different architectural style depending on the number of floors.
The first floor is the "temple building" that the public people like. , The 2nd floor is a samurai favorite "Shoin-zukuri" , The 3rd floor is Zen Buddhism "Buddha building" What is it?
Yoshimitsu, who had retired and was a priest of the Zen Buddhism, showed that he was the greatest of the samurai family and the public family.
In addition, " Phoenix statue " is on the top of Kinkakuji Temple. Is decorated.
Legend that a phoenix appears under the emperor It is said to be likened to.
Yoshimitsu is unprecedented, "Samurai becomes the emperor" Wasn't it trying to realize?
In fact, Yoshimitsu's cause of death was not illness, but poisoning to the officials. There is a theory that it may have been done.
By the way, the first floor of Kinkakuji Temple, which represents a public house, is shiny . Wasn't it?
Summary
Looking at Mr. Yoshimitsu's photo, I had the image of "a good-looking grandfather," but he was a selfish general with a strong desire to reveal himself.
However, it is said that Yoshimitsu's time was the most prosperous in the Ashikaga Shogunate, so he may have been a good general.
Kinkakuji Knowing the true meaning of, it seems that there are many enemies ...
