(Translated by Google) I visited there when I went to see the ``Wanizuka Cherry Blossoms'' nearby. There is a village called ``Takeda'' in the vicinity, and this shrine is where Nobuyoshi Takeda, the first generation member of the Kai-Takeda clan, attended his Genpuku shrine, and was said to have been deeply worshiped by the Takeda family even after that.
Nobuyoshi Takeda was the grandson of Minamoto no Yorinobu, who was called one of Fujiwara no Michinaga's Four Heavenly Kings, and the great-grandson of Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, whose older brother was Yawata Taro Yoshiie (connected to Yoritomo in the main family line). Minamoto no Yoshimitsu held successive positions as Hitachi no Suke and Kai no kami, took a wife from the Hitachi Taira clan, and expanded his power to Hitachi. Yoshikiyo, the son of Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, inherited Takeda-go, Naka District, Hitachi Province (present-day Hitachinaka City) from his father, and called himself ``Takeda.'' However, as his son Kiyomitsu lost in a territorial dispute, he moved to Kawaso, Ichikawa Province, Kai Province (present-day Ichikawa Misato Town). ), where he and his children were exiled and became natives, becoming the founder of the Kai Takeda clan (Yoshimitsu - Yoshikiyo - Kiyomitsu - Nobuyoshi).
Nobuyoshi Takeda was born in 1128 and died in 1186. In 1180, when Minamoto no Yoritomo raised an army to overthrow the Heike clan, he was 52 years old...was he the one who fought against the pursuing army led by Taira no Koremori at Fuji River? I thought it was Nobuyoshi himself, and Tomohito Yashima, the leader of the Kai-Takeda clan who joined Yoritomo, played by Hiroshi Oizumi, in NHK's Taiga "Kamakura-dono no 13-nin" the year before last, was indeed Nobuyoshi Takeda ( lol).
The 16th generation from Takeda Nobuyoshi was Takeda Shingen. Also in 1988, I remembered the scene in NHK Taiga's ``Takeda Shingen'' where Kiichi Nakai, who played Shingen, shouted ``Look at Lord Saburo Yoshimitsu of Silla!'' with all the soldiers...

すぐ近くにある「わに塚の桜」を見に出かけた折に訪問した。付近は「武田」と呼ばれる集落、この神社は甲斐武田氏の初代・武田信義が元服した社で、その後も武田家から篤い信仰を受けたとあった。
武田信義は、藤原道長の四天王と呼ばれた源頼信の孫で、八幡太郎義家(本家筋で頼朝に繋がる)を兄に持つ新羅三郎義光のひ孫にあたる。源義光は、常陸介、甲斐守などを歴任し、常陸平氏から妻を得て常陸にその勢力を拡げていく。源義光の子・義清は、父から常陸国那珂郡武田郷(現ひたちなか市)を譲り受け「武田」と名乗るが、その子・清光が領土紛争に敗れたため、甲斐国市河荘(現市川三郷町)へ親子ともども配流され土着、そして甲斐武田氏の祖となった(義光ー義清ー清光ー信義)。
武田信義は1128生まれで1186没。源頼朝が平家打倒の兵を挙げた1180年には齢52歳…富士川で平維盛率いる追討軍と戦ったのはその子?と思いきや信義本人で、一昨年のNHK大河「鎌倉殿の13人」で大泉洋さん演ずる頼朝のもとに加勢した甲斐武田氏の棟梁・八嶋智人さんは、確かに武田信義だった(笑)。
武田信義から16代目が武田信玄。同じく1988年NHK大河「武田信玄」で、信玄役の中井貴一さんが「新羅三郎義光公、ご照覧あれ!」と全兵と掛け声を合わせるシーンを思い出した…
