1 Bakumatsu no Shishi

Bakumatsu no Shishi

今回は特に、The end of the Tokugawa shogunate, when the history of Japan changed dramatically During that time, I experienced encounters with people who lived with their own beliefs.

[1] A turning point in history and the end of a turbulent period

The end of the Edo period refers to the period of about 15 years from Perry's arrival in 1853 to the end of the Boshin War in 1868. In this short period of time, Japan has experienced unprecedented transformation. It was a turning point in history, as the rule of the Edo shogunate, which had lasted for more than 200 years, came to an end and a major shift to a new era.

This era was characterized by the emergence of a confrontational structure that divided the country into two parts, whether to open the country or to open the country. The arrival of the Black Ships had a great impact on Japan, which had been isolated until then, and shook society as a whole. The authority of the shogunate was lost, powerful clans such as the Satsuma and Choshu domains rose, and the movement to overthrow the shogunate became active.

In such turbulent times, there were people who were worried about the future of Japan, raised their own ideals, and fought for their lives. Sakamoto Ryoma, Saigo Takamori, Okubo Toshimichi, Katsura Kogoro (Kido Takayoshi), and many other aspirants who led the Meiji Restoration were active in this very era. Regardless of their status as samurai, they seriously thought about the future of Japan and took action. And let's not forget the Shinsengumi, who had different beliefs from them and fought for the shogunate until the end It is an existence.

[2] What is the guardian of the shogunate, the Shinsengumi?

The Shinsengumi was an armed organization formed in Kyoto in 1863 with the aim of maintaining public order under the Edo shogunate. Initially, it was called "Mibu Ronishi-gumi", but it was later renamed Shinsengumi. A major feature of this organization was that many of its members were ronin and peasant backgrounds. They excelled in swordsmanship, and their skills were bought and they joined the Shinsengumi.

The Shinsengumi worked hard to protect the security of Kyoto, but on the other hand, they were in violent conflict with the aspirants of the Bakugoku faction and were involved in many bloody incidents. There are many incidents in which the Shinsengumi were involved, such as the Ikedaya Incident and the Battle of Toba and Fushimi, and their existence is absolutely indispensable when talking about the Bakumatsu era.
Some of the most famous members of the Shinsengumi are Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata, and Soji Okita and so on.

They possessed exceptional swordsmanship skills and threw themselves into numerous battles as they led the Shinsengumi. Their way of life, combined with their bushido spirit and tragic ends, captured the hearts of many people and are still talked about today. The Shinsengumi is a complex and fascinating organization that symbolizes the Bakumatsu era.

[3] Session starts, Mr. A, a spirit medium

This session began with a man (Mr. A) coming to receive exorcisms, purifications, memorial offerings, and premium exorcisms for his own good luck.

As soon as the session started, Ms. A closed her eyes and began to rock her body back and forth, as if possessed by something. I couldn't help but take my breath away at the bizarre sight.
Mr. Hayashi continued to calmly adjust while watching Mr. A's situation, and the next moment, Mr. A suddenly sat up and began to speak in a voice with a different personality.

"Mr. Lin, I wanted to meet you."

The voice clearly did not belong to Mr. A. He spoke in a low voice, as if he were a different person, and his tone made me feel nostalgic. At this time, it turned out that Mr. A was a spirit medium.

[4] Spirit Mediumship, Possession Phenomenon, and the Threat of the Invisible World

A psychic medium is a special constitution that is susceptible to the influence of spiritual beings. A person with a spirit medium is more likely to be possessed by spirits and can speak the language of the possessed spirit through his or her mouth. In other words, it is like an octopus that speaks for the words of the spirit.

Virgin Buddha spirits try to stay in this world and possess people because of their unfinished business and attachments during their lifetime. They try to scare people and possess them at every opportunity in order to gain the upper hand. When a person is possessed, his or her personality and behavior may change, and the emotions and memories of the unborn Buddha spirit may be expressed.
For this reason, Mr. Hayashi does not have any direct conversations with spirits, as is the case with psychic programs on TV. This is because it is an act that gives the other person a chance and encourages possession.

In the past, as in the movie "The Exorcist", there have been cases where unborn Buddhist spirits have gone on a rampage through clients. She was crying, screaming gibberish, and starting to beat herself, and it was just abnormal. Because of the danger, it was necessary to clean up all items that could be used as weapons, such as forks and spoons, in advance.
However, there is no such thing now, and any spirit body will be quiet in front of Mr. Lin. These days, no matter what kind of unborn Buddha spirit comes, there is a very quiet session going on.

When a normal person is attacked by an invisible entity, they will be attacked by fear and anxiety and instinctively try to protect themselves. However, that act will actually give the other party a chance. At that time, I also unconsciously stopped breathing.
However, Mr. Hayashi is calm and composed at all times and never falters. In fact, they may even be smiling. Mr. Hayashi always says, "The important thing is to stay in a state of remorse."

[5] Spiritual exchange with the wishes of the aspirants at the end of the banquet

It was when the memorial service for the samurai at the end of the Edo period was over, and I was on my way home with Mr. Hayashi.
This time, the aspirant was a person who contributed to the peace of Japan, so he took more time than usual to make a careful offering. Perhaps because of this, Mr. Hayashi's expression exuded the color of fatigue.
It seems that Mr. Hayashi's adjustment to use his own body as a vessel in order to taste sake to the spirit body is more energy-consuming than he imagined.
At that time, I heard a strange voice.

"Feast..."

I knew right away that the voice belonged to the Bakumatsu warrior who had appeared in the session earlier. It was a unique tone that made me feel nostalgic.
Out of concern for Mr. Hayashi, who is tired, he talks to me so that I can hear him.

"Feast..."

Shishi has just attained Buddhahood and seems to be in a state where he can go back and forth between the other world and this world for a few days. And he says that today is a happy day, and he wants to have a feast with his friends in this world.

"I'm going to have a banquet, so I want you to accompany me, and I'll prepare you a drink and a meal."
Apparently, that's what the aspirants want.
In order to fulfill that wish, we decided to go to the supermarket with Mr. Hayashi and buy Japan sake and snacks.

Snacks that would have been served in izakaya in the Edo period include sashimi, mezashi, dried horse mackerel, takuan, and tofu. These snacks may be a nostalgic taste of hometown for aspirants.
When I got home, I cooked it briefly and laid it out on the table.
Soon the feast began.

The room was supposed to be quiet, but I heard a lively voice from above my head, as if a banquet was really being held. The sound of raspy talking and happy laughter echoes throughout the room.

[6] The status system of the Edo period, the wall of male nobility and femininity

And there was something that I thought was typical of people from the Edo period.
As a woman, I was not allowed to attend the banquet. When the food for the feast was finished and I was about to sit down, I was instructed not to do so.

In the Edo period, the idea of male superiority and femininity was deeply rooted, and women were considered to be responsible for housework and child-rearing, and to support men. I was once again amazed that the values of that era remain in the spirit body.

Some time had passed since the banquet had begun, and when Mr. Hayashi was beginning to feel tired, the banquet seemed to have come to an end, and it suddenly became quiet.
And again, I heard a voice.

"Grave"

This time, it seems to be speaking directly to me.
Apparently, they wanted me to go to the grave.
There are several graves of Shishi throughout the country, so when I was wondering which grave I was referring to, I was designated a place called "○○".

When I looked into it, I found out that it was a grave near the place where Shishi lost his life, and it was now managed by the locals. If you look at the photos, you can see that the atmosphere is a little dark.
The next day, we were to head to the grave.

[7] Comrades' memorial service, salvation of souls and a new journey

The next morning, the banquet with the Bakumatsu warriors and their friends lasted until late, so I was still tired.
Mr. Hayashi seemed to be tired as well.
As soon as I woke up, I heard the voice of Shishi.

"When you wake up in the morning, you scrub the floor."

[8] Lifestyle habits and awareness of cleaning in the Edo period

In the Edo period, people placed great importance on cleaning in their daily lives. Especially in the samurai family, it was also a way to cleanse oneself, and it was customary to clean carefully every morning.

We obeyed his words and immediately started dusting the floor. Tables and doors are also polished clean with water and dry wipes.
When the cleaning was finished, I got permission from Shishi to say, "Yoshi."
I left the house with Mr. Hayashi, bought Japan sake at a liquor store on the way, and headed to Shishi's grave.

The grave is located not far from the station and is still visited by many fans.
When I arrived at the grave, there was a sad and slightly gloomy atmosphere in the air.
Mr. Hayashi added Japan sake to the grave and put his hands together.
Immediately, a volunteer appeared.

"I would like to ask all my comrades (I want you to become a Buddha)"

At yesterday's session and the banquet that followed, Mr. Hayashi was already exhausted, but he heeded Shishi's wishes.
We secured a place that would not disturb other worshippers, cleansed all the spirits, and began the offering.
Normally, he uses a device, but Mr. Hayashi can make a memorial service on his own without using a device.

After the memorial service, the sun began to shine on the grave.
The dimly lit grave turned into fresh air, and it was as if it had been purified.
At that time, Mr. Hayashi saw the aspirants and their friends wearing the same uniform and happily running up the rainbow-colored staircase.
Thus ended the two-day memorial service.

[9] Miracle-making power, talent, skill, and perseverance

Mr. Hayashi has performed many miracles unbeknownst to others.
There have been many events that have occurred in corporate sessions that have touched us from the bottom of our hearts.
When others achieve great things, we tend to think that they can do it because they have a special talent, but when we look at Mr. Hayashi from his side, we realize that this is not the case.

Mr. Hayashi did not rest on his natural talents, but worked hard to the point of death to establish a technique that allows him to safely exorcise, purify, and make offerings.
In the process, he developed a level of perseverance that is unthinkable for ordinary people.

Watching Mr. Hayashi, I realized that with talent, solid skills, and indomitable perseverance, people can perform miracles that seem impossible.
I was reminded that no matter what kind of work you do, if you continue to hone your skills, you will be able to make a deep contribution to others and society.

The past two days have been a whirlwind, like a movie.
Shishi also fully understands how amazing Mr. Hayashi's deeds are.
"Thank you for making it this far."
He made a promise to Mr. Hayashi and me.

As always, with a hearty laugh.
He will surely keep his promise.
He was a person who gave me a sense of trust and security that made me think so.

I want to read it together
