82. Yoisho![1] In 1881, the stones for the Kanrodai were being brought from Takimoto Village just east of Jiba. Umejiro Izutsu of the Shinmei-gumi Confraternity was instructed to haul the stones down a mountain, and Shirobei Umetani of the Meishin-gumi Confraternity was to haul them from the base of the mountain to the Residence. Tokichi Ueda and more than ten other men from the Hyogo Shinmei-gumi Confraternity, who happened to be at the Residence just at that time, joined Shirobei's group to haul the stones between Furu and the Residence. The stones were being carried on nine carts. One of them got stuck at the gate of the Residence. At that very moment, Oyasama appeared from Her room and shouted:
Upon hearing Her voice, everyone pushed together with all their might and the cart rolled in easily. All were deeply moved by the solemn and inspiring presence of Oyasama.

八二 ヨイショ 明治十四年、おぢばの東、滝本の村から、かんろだいの石出しが行われた。この石出しは、山から山の麓までは、真明組の井筒梅治郎、山の麓からお屋敷までは、明心組の梅谷四郎兵衞が、御命を頂いていたというが、その時、ちょうど、お屋敷に滞在中の兵庫真明組の上田藤吉以下十数名の一行は、布留からお屋敷までの石引きに参加させて頂いた。 その石は、九つの車に載せられていたが、その一つが、お屋敷の門まで来た時に、動かなくなってしまった。が、ちょうどその時、教祖 が、お居間からお出ましになって、
と、お声をおかけ下さると、皆も一気に押して、ツーッと入ってしまった。 一同は、その時の教祖の神々しくも勇ましいお姿に、心から感激した、という。 |
