Mouri's grave

In the first year of the Kame (1571), he died at the age of 75. Three years later, his grandson Terumoto built Bodaiji Temple and Toshunji Temple, and a tomb was built in the precincts. After that, it was repaired and managed by Mr. Mouri from generation to generation, and it continues to this day with the donations of Ishitamagaki and Ishitoryu by Mr. Asano. The graveyard is divided into upper and lower tiers. The lower tier contains the graveyards of Mori's successive generations built in the Meiji era, and the upper tier contains the former graveyard and the Mori Motonari monument. Motonari's graveyard is further divided into front and rear areas. In the front area, donated dragons are lined up, and in the rear area, there is a grave where the ashes of Motonari are buried. The "Hariibuki" that was planted as a grave marker is now dead. The feature-length poem "Yoshida Ekishi", which was written by the Chinese scholar Rai Sanyo when he visited the former graveyard in 1829, has already withered at this time. It is written that. On July 16th of the new calendar, when the funeral of Mori Motonari was held, a pre-grave festival is held every year.
