Abstract

Introduction 1. The Kume-Saikyo temple and a letter of Jakutyou at tha Kyougyou temple 2. The transition of the subordination of the Saiko temple. Conclusion In the essay, I want to make the subordination of the Saikyo temple in Kato-gun clear: the point aimed at the fact that a letter of Jakutyou is recited regularly at the Kyougyou temple still now. From 1561 (the year of Eiroku in 4) to 1702 (the year of Genroku in 15), 142 years, the Saikyo temple changed its name three times. All information about it states when the Saikyo temle started it was called "the Kume-mura Dojo subordinated to the Fukuei temple which belonged to the Kinpuku temple". The Kinpuku temple was ranked first as the temple in the Discriminated village. Then supporters argued with the Fukuei temple, their list including 227 people at 42 homes were moved to the Kyougyou temple and so it became to be called "the Kume-mura Dojo subordinated to the Kyougyou temple". The Kyougyou temple is noe of many branch temples. Then the name was changed to "the Jikumattu temple" which belonged to the Hongan temple, the most powerful of all temples in the religion. These facts prove that it was possible for supporters to request their leader temple independently of the government. Up to the present, the core of "The theory of the system about temples in the Discriminated villages" is that temples in Discriminated villages are distinguished from the grouping of the Sinsyu and they can only belong to the high level temple in the same series. Above-mentioned information object to the theory. Because even at Kato-gun, which is north of Harima and is very near to the Hongan temple didn't decide the Discriminated villagers' leader temple.
