Tsuyu no Tenjinja, also called Ohatsu Tenjin,is a Shinto shrine located in Umeda, downtown Osaka. It is a tutelary shine of Umeda. The shrine is well known as a setting of a Bunraku play [*1] called "The Love Suicide at Sonezaki" by Chikamatsu Monzaemon that was written based on a true story. [Origin] Osaka city had small islands at the bay until about 100 years ago. The shrine was built on one of the islands where the deity, Sumiyoshi Sumuhisone was enshrined. Exactly when the shrine was erected is unknown but it is believed that its history could go back to more than 1,300 years ago. [Name] Tsuyu no Tenjinja is said to have been named from a poem by Sugawara no Michizane who was relegated and transferred to Kyushu. He described the pain of leaving Kyoto (then - the capital of Japan) in a poem when he was in the vicinity of the shrine. He compared tears he shed to "tsuyu"(dew) in the poem. The shrine is also known as Ohatsu Tenjin. It is named after the heroine, Ohatsu of Chikamatsu's Bunraku play [*1] "The Love Suicide at Sonezaki" based on a incident that actually happened in the woods of the shrine in 1703. [Enshrined Deities] There are five enshrined deities, Sukunahikona Daijin, Oonamuchi no Ookami, Amaterasu Sumeo Ookami, Toyouke hime no Ookami, and Sugawara Michizane. [The Love Suicide at Sonezaki] Chikamatsu Monzaemon wrote the story, The love suicide at Sonezaki, for Bunraku play[*1] based on the true story that had happened a month earlier. In the 18th century, Tokubei, a young man who worked for his uncle's soy sauce shop and Ohatsu, a girl who worked as a prostitute were in love. Tokubei's uncle wanted Tokubei to marry his wife's niece. Tokubei refused it because he loved Ohatsu and intended to marry her when he would have enough money to redeem her. Later Tokubei's stepmother promised Tokubei's uncle to make Tokubei marry his wife's niece in return for a large amount of money she received from him. After going through many troubles, Tokubei finally got money back from his stepmother and he was ready to return it to his uncle. Then, his friend, Kuheiji, begged Tokubei for money desperately. Tokubei was kind enough to lend him money on a promise of returning it shortly. Kuheiji never paid him back. Instead, he insisted he had never borrowed money and called Tokubei a liar. In despair, Tokubei and Ohatsu committed suicide together in the woods of Tsuyu no Tenjinja where they had pledged their eternal love, hoping they could marry in heaven. [Lover's Sanctuary] Tsuyu no Tenjinja is one of the lover's sanctuaries designated by the NPO Area Activation Supporting Center. Because this is the place where Tokubei and Ohatsu pledged their eternal love, the shrine is popular among young lovers to visit. [Activities and Events] Hatsumairi is the first visit on New Year day (or one day of New Year holidays) to the shrine. People visit the shrine to pray for good health and happiness for the new year. Setsubun is bean throwing ceremony that takes place on February 3rd, the eve of the first day of spring in the lunar calendar. Because devils were believed to come out at the change of seasons, people throw beans to drive out devils and bring in good luck. Local celebrities are invited to scatter beans. Visitors who were born in a year with the same sign of the Chinese zodiac can also throw beans with charge. Approximately 30-40 stalls open and sell the wide range of items. Amid office buildings, many business persons come to visit the shrine and enjoy shopping and browsing. <3rd Friday and Saturday of July - Reiseisei>Summer festival called Reiseisei is held on 3rd Friday and Saturday of July. The procession of drummers, lion dancers, umbrella dancers and players of traditional Japanese music (Ohayashi [*2]) walk around in the vicinity of the shrine.
