| Comment |
This shrine and garden sit amid
the deep woods of Misugi-mura, a village located in the midwest
of Mie Prefecture. The Kitabatake family, whose reign over the old
Ise region lasted for approximately 240 years from the Nanbokucho
to the Muromachi Period, built their residence in this location.
The family was later killed by Oda Nobunaga and their residence
and surrounding town burnt to the ground.
The garden of the residence, all that remained, now quietly reminds
visitors of the family's past prosperity, amid the surrounding peace
of the mountains. |
