The Ikki army burned down all the sub-temples of Kofuku-ji Temple including Daijo-in Temple (the practice spot of Rennyo in his childhood) which had some connection with Hongan-ji Temple, and it is said that all the carp in Sarusawa-ike Pond and all the deer in Kasuga-sha Shrine were eaten up by them. 一揆は本願寺にとってもゆかりがある大乗院(蓮如幼少時修行の場所)を始めとして興福寺の全ての塔頭を焼き払い、猿沢池のコイや春日社のシカも悉く食い尽くされたと言われている。 |
