和歌山 岩出の根来寺で「かくばん祭り」 火縄銃を撃つ演武

和歌山県岩出市にある根来寺で恒例祭り行われ、僧兵姿の人たちが火縄銃撃つ演武祭り盛り上げました。

新義真言宗総本山岩出市の根来寺では、毎年紅葉時期に、寺を開い覚鑁かくばん)にちなんで「かくばん祭り」が開かれています。

祭り最大呼び物は、戦国時代に「根来衆」と呼ばれた僧兵姿の人たちが行う火縄銃演武です。 地元の歴史研究会でつくる鉄砲8人が国宝の「大塔」の前に整列し、「放て」という合図とも火縄銃一斉撃つと、ごう音が響き渡り、訪れた人たちから拍手あがっていました。

演武を見た小学生の女の子は「耳をふさいでいても思っていたより大きな音がしてびっくりしました」と話していました。

また、女の子の父親は「寺とその周りがいい雰囲気なのでこの後、ゆっくりと見てまわります」と話していました。
