Koushouji Betsuin Temple (Tondabayashi Gobo)
Koushouji Betsuin Temple is a temple of Jodo Shinshu School (Ikkoushuu School), which became the center of the development and establishment of Jinaimachi town in Tondabayashi . It has been popular as Mr. Gobo (Tondabayashi Gobo) among the local residents.
During the Ouei period (1394-1412years) , the
The temple gate looks toward the east and the Jyounomon-suji street. Those buildings such as the bell tower, the drum tower, the main hall,
the reception hall and priest's quarters are set up and arranged.
The main gate has refined style and it became clear in a recent investigation
that the gate was further relocated from Koushouji temple in Kyoto, which
was originally said to be dismantled and reconstructed from one of the
gates at Fushimi castle in Kyoto.
Koushouji Betsuin Temple was designated as an important cultural property
of the country in 2014.
The former residence of the Sugiyama family, an important cultural property
of the country
Sugiyama family was one of the old family who was involved in the founding
of Jinaimachi town and the family flourished as a sake brewer throughout
the Edo period.
The former Sugiyama family residence is the oldest building among those
merchants’ houses in Jinaimachi and it is the remains of a large merchant
house of the mid-Edo period.
The residence is the birthplace of Ms. Tsuyuko Isonokami, a female poet
of Myojo school (Her autonym was Takako Sugiyama, 1882ー1959).
The property was designated as an important cultural property of the country
on October 26, 1983 as a typical architecture of merchant’s house which
was originated from farmer's house in Minami-Kawachi region.
Residence of the Nakamura family, a cultural property of Osaka Prefecture.
Nakamura family is one of the old families in Jinaimachi in Tondabayashi.
The residence is located almost at the southern tip of the town. The family
used to do business as Sadoya and had identified himself as Tokubei since
1734. The founder of Tokuemon was said to be a descendant of the eight
headmen of exploitation of Tondabayashi.
Though the old family business was not clear, it made a significant development
as a sake brewery, after acquiring the brewing license in 1785. The amount
of sake production in 1785 reached 2,135 koku, the largest among breweries
in Kawachi region.
Remark:
1 koku is an old unit equivalent to 150kgs or 180 litter of rice for brewing,
which is corresponded to the assumed yearly consumption of rice per adult.
In 1792, Sadoya of the Nakamura family was promoted to be the chief director
of
The three-story storehouse of the residence of the (south) Kuzuhara family
The family prospered to run sake brewery. Built in 1854, there are few
three-story earthen wall storehouses of wooden structure in Japan and it
is identified as a landmark of Jinaimachi town.
The building has eaves on each floor and the method of roofing is called
Hongawara-buki that plain tiles and concave tiles are alternately arrayed
on the roof.
The gable of the storehouse is directed to the street and its white walls
are distinguished. It was used for storage of straw rice bales for a payment
of rice as land tax in old Japan.
