The "YAMABUKI NO SATO" is located east of Ogose Station.
There is a story of OOTADOUKAN at the "YAMABUKI NO SATO".
The OOTADOUKAN is a general of Muromachi Period.
It rained when going to the hawk hunting, came near to a nearby farmer, and it ..straw raincoat.. came near to a borrowing.
Farmer's daughter passes the flower of the Japanese yellow rose of one instead of the straw raincoat.
It returns getting angry, "The wanted one is neither a straw raincoat nor a Japanese yellow rose".
Isn't when this thing is spoken to the vassal, it a song of poverty by there is no presented straw raincoat?
The OOTADOUKAN was ashamed of yourself who was angry, and devoted oneself to tanka poetry.
Cache was concealed in the history park of the hometown of the Japanese yellow rose.

七重八重 花は咲けども山吹の 実のひとつだになきぞ悲しき
越生町は埼玉県西部の人口13000人程の小さな町です。山吹の里は越生駅の東に位置します。
山吹の里には太田道灌の物語があります。
道灌が鷹狩りに行った時に雨が降り、近くの農家に蓑を借りに寄りました。
ところが、農家の娘は蓑の代わりに一厘の山吹の花を渡しますが、道灌は「欲しいのは蓑で山吹ではない」と怒って帰ってしまいます。
後に家来にこの事を話すと、それは差し上げる蓑が一つも無いほど貧しい事を、実の(=みの=蓑)無い山吹に喩えた歌ではないかと。
それを聞いた道灌は怒った己を恥じ、勉学に精進したといいます。
cacheは山吹の里歴史公園の中に隠しました。ペンが入っていません。ペンをお持ちください
無料駐車場がありますが、出入り口が狭いので注意してください。
