説明

In order to understand relations between the 88-temple pilgrimage in Shikoku Island and the nature around the pilgrimage route,we made comprehensive research on the temples from the 1st to 5th of the 88 temples and the Ooasahiko Shrine (the most respected shrine and is neighboring to the Ryozenji Temple). In this report,we describe about following three points; 1) history of sacred trees,2) history of landscape and 3) crests of the temples. As for the first point,there are big sacred trees in the shrine and the two temples,a camphor tree in the Ooasahiko Shrine,a cedar tree in the Gokurakuji Temple,that is called "long-life cedar" and a ginkgo tree in the Jizoji Temple that is called “mother's breast ginkgo". However,we could find a few records on them written in old literatures. A distinct tree in the picture written in Edo era may be identical to the ginkgo tree of the Jizoji Temple. As for the second point,pine forests were dominant in the mountains around the shrine and the temples in Edo era,however,they have almost completely disappeared due to pine wilt disease. Moreover,fields of indigo and sugar cane along with the route of the pilgrimage in Edo era have also disappeared,and now orchards are conspicuous in this area. As for the last point,all five temples use plants as their crest,the flower of paulownia tree in the Ryozenji Temple and the Gokurakuji Temple,the flower of chrysanthemum in the Konsenji Temple,the flower of Tachibana in the Dainichiji Temple and the pine tree in the Jizoji Temple. Since there is no detailed research on the crests of the 88 temples further investigation is expected.
