In Southern Kyushu, there is a Yagoro-don belief in some areas.
"Yagoro-don no Yakata" introduces things about the Yagoro-don faith.









Here is a view of the museum interior.




A Yagoro-don doll is displayed in the center of the museum.
In 720, there was a war between the Yamato kingship and the Hayato tribe called "Hayato's Rebellion" in the area of present-day Kirishima City.
The war was won by the Yamato kingship, and many Hayato tribe died in beheadings and atrocities.
Yagoro-don is the leader of the Hayato tribe in this war.



In this war, called "Hayato's Rebellion," soldiers from the Usa Jingu Shrine participated on the side of the Yamato kingship.
The soldiers of Kagoshima Jingu Shrine also participated in the war, siding with the Hayato tribe.
It is a sad fact that the soldiers of the Usa Jingu Shrine and the Kagoshima Jingu Shrine are of the same family.
After the war, in 724, a religious ceremony called "Hojhoe" was started at the Usa Jingu Shrine to repose the souls of the war dead.
"Hojhoe" also began to take place in areas originally ruled by the Hayato tribe.

As an aside, in "Hayato's Rebellion," the spirit of Yahata, the main deity of the Usa Jingu Shrine, was carried by MIKOSHI to the battlefield.
This is said to be the beginning of MIKOSHI in Japan.

Hojhoe is based on the Buddhist belief that one should not intentionally kill living things.
In Japan, Shinto and Buddhism are practiced together, and in Shinto, "Hojoe" is performed mainly at Hachiman Shrine, which is dedicated to the spirits of the Yahata.
"Hojhoe" in the area originally ruled by the Hayato tribe used Yagoro-don puppets, but is now practiced only at the three Hachiman shrines.




The following picture is a diorama of the "Yagoro-don Festival (Hojhoe)".







Here are the other exhibits in this museum except for Yagoro-don.
