［ Tennojikoenmae ］ by bus about 100m to the east |
| Legend has it that Sugawara Michizane
conducted a ritual at the site as he awaited
the departure of his ship after his demotion
to Dazaifu in Kyushu. While he stayed here, he had a fit of spasm(kan in Japanese), so he cured his illness by drinking well water. The well crib and a stone monument titled “Kanshizumenomizu”(water to cure a fit of spasm) remain at the lowest steps in the precinct. The Yasui well was one of the seven famous springs at Tennoji. There is a stone monument of the site of Sanada Yukimura's death in the precinct of the shrine. Yukimura, who was a general for the Toyotomi family, set up his camp at Chausuyama and died a glorious death around here after he attacked the main base of the Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp but failed to win the last battle of the Osaka Summer Siege. |
