127. Tokyo, Tokyo and Nagasaki

In the autumn of 1883, Sasuke Uehara returned to Jiba and was granted an audience with Oyasama. Unexpectedly, Oyasama said to him:

"Tokyo, Tokyo and Nagasaki."

He was then presented with a red garment. Deep emotion on that occasion led him to firmly resolve his mind. Later, he closed up his house and went alone to Tokyo to spread the teachings, taking the red garment with him.

一二七 東京々々、長崎  

明治十六年秋、上原佐助は、おぢばへ帰って、教祖にお目通りさせて頂いた。この時はからずも、教祖から、  

「東京々々、長崎。」

というお言葉を頂き、赤衣を頂戴した。  

この感激から、深く決意するところがあって、後日、佐助は家をたたんで、単身、赤衣を奉戴して、東京布教に出発したのである。
