At the national treasure hall of Hieizan Enryaku -ji (Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture), a special exhibition, "Warring States and Hiei -Nobunaga's burns to Hiei" (until December 5).By the way, there are various reasons why Oda Nobunaga burned Mt. Hiei, but let's consider which theory is actually influential.
On September 12, 1571, Nobunaga Oda burned Mt. Hiei.As a result, Moro Hiei was burned by Nobunaga's soldier, and all monks living in Yamauchi were killed.Even in the Warring States period, it was a massacre that competed for twelve.
How has Nobunaga's burnt down Mt. Hiei has been evaluated so far?Let's think a little more about this point.
According to the historical materials at the time, such as the Diary of the Public House, the Diary of the Public Family, the burning of Nobunaga has been severely accused.Nobunaga's barbarism gave a big impact in various directions, as described as "the ruin of Buddhism."
Kai's Sengoku daimyo, Shingen Takeda, heard the news of Nobunaga's baked Mt. Hiei and blamed him violently.Shingen had a great religion, so he was able to help the reconstruction of Mt. Hiei.The people at the time never acknowledged Nobunaga's actions.
Nobunaga's evaluation of Nobunaga's burning Mt. Hiei also varies.What is relatively popular is from the perspective that Nobunaga was an innovative person.
For example, Flois's "Japanese History" states that Nobunaga tried to become a god.Based on this passage, Nobunaga has been said to be an atheist (no religious).
It was pointed out that Nobunaga burned Mt. Hiei without fear of Mt. Hiei, a religious authority at the time, but aimed to overcome it.On the contrary, there is also an idea that Nobunaga has burned Mt.
It is clear that Nobunaga was an atheist (non -religious) in the above point, and worshiped Zen sect and the Hokke sect.It is questioned that Nobunaga tried to become a god, because it is only written in "Japanese History".
The problem was in Mt. Hiei at the time.The monks forgot their religion and training, and were indulging in their carnivorous, drinking, making money, and fellowsing women.In other words, the monks did not fulfill their religions.
That is not all.At that time, Nobunaga was in conflict with Yoshikage Asakura and Nagamasa Asai, but Mt.Nobunaga couldn't forgive that.
In short, Nobunaga did not fulfill the real thing as a religious person, and was only burned down because he was on his side for both Asakura and Asai, who were more hostile.The only reason is that.
Conversely, he donated and relieved to the temple and shrines that begged Nobunaga to help.There is no end to the classics, but there was no problem if the shrine did not turn to Nobunaga.
Nobunaga's personality has been talked about in one point called "innovative."People's remarks, "If there is a politician like Nobunaga in modern times," seems to tell one end.
However, Nobunaga was not a special innovator, but was tied to the customs of the time.Therefore, it has been pointed out that Nobunaga was now a conservative person.You should be careful about that point.
