When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were...

鳥取県南東部の八頭町には、古事記の「因幡の白兎」神話とは異なる白兎神話が伝わっている。神代、近隣の霊石山に天照大神が降臨し、どこからともなく現れた白兎の導きで、仮宮にふさわしい場所に着いたというもの。白兎は気が付いたら姿を消していたが、実はこの白兎こそ、天照大神の弟・月読神の化身だった。そこで、八頭町の中心地である郡家(こおげ)周辺数村では、月読神を道祖白兎大明神と称し、氏神として崇めたという。郡家という地名の通り、古代には朝廷の郡衙(ぐんが）があった場所で、その遺跡や白鳳時代の廃寺跡も発見されている。このあたりには今も白兎神社が数社点在しているが、その総鎮守であった神社は、明治の神社合祀で近隣の神社に一度合祀されている。一方立派であった社殿は惜しまれ、近くの成田山青龍寺に引き取られた。そのため、本堂内に社殿を安置し、その中に本尊を祀るという、特異な寺院になっている。近隣には、寺院の境内に残っている白兎神社もあり、当地の白兎信仰は、神仏習合、分離、神社合祀などの影響を強く受けている事が分かる。町内には隼神社という神社もあるが、神社に由来する隼の地名と、隼という駅もあり、その駅は鉄道とバイクと「萌え」が混在する、現代における「習合」が現在進行形で見られる場所である。白兎神話の町に「習合」文化の精髄を見る。

大学卒業前、御山人が青春18きっぷ片手に、一人で行った東北旅行。 困難に満ちた道程を経てたどり着いたのは、多賀城・アラハバキ神社。 かつて「東北に朝廷に対抗する古代王国があった」とする内容で、 偽書騒動を巻き起こしたアラハバキ神とは何なのか?改めてその謎を掘り下げる。 ○手足の長い「まつろわぬ民」の荒ぶる魂 ○陸羽東線沿線にも篤く信仰されるアラハバキ神社が ○国譲りに納得出来ず?!三河の荒ぶる大国主命 ○怨み荒ぶるのは大陸的か それを鎮めて習合した日本の信仰 卒業旅行二日目は、冬の奥羽山脈を越え、秋田県へ。 後三年の役の古戦場で、腰まで雪に埋もれつつ訪ねたのは、 蘇我氏に滅ぼされた古代豪族・物部氏の末裔が守って来た唐松神社。 そこに満ちた数々の謎に挑む。 ●堀を巡らした三角錐の石積みの上に建つ社殿 ●神社の古文書には、物部氏の祖神が鳥海山に降臨し、出羽こそ物部の故郷と ●仏教を拒否して追われた神道を奉じる物部の「物」とは物の怪の「物」 ●「まつろわぬ民」と血縁を持ち、「韓をまつろわせた」物部氏 そして、「まつろう」「まつろわぬ」ことの現代的解釈や意義をも問います。 流行に「まつろう」ことなく、孤高の旅の中で見出したものとは。 語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰

前回に引き続いて、御山人が青春18きっぷを使い行った一人大学卒業旅行。 その最終到達地は、日本海に突き出た、秋田県・男鹿半島。 この地に伝わる「なまはげ」を求めて、半島中心部の山間にある真山神社を訪ねる。 併設の伝承館では「なまはげ」来訪の実演も行われる真山神社には、 こんな習俗と伝承がある。 ○祭礼の日、山から「なまはげ」が降りて来る ○「なまはげ」は家々を訪れ、怠け者を責めて暴れ回る ○一方では、五穀豊穣、家内安全などの福や富をもたらす「神の使い」でもある ○ゆえに、真山神社の鬼には角がない しかしこれは、あくまでも真山神社の「なまはげ」の話。 男鹿半島一帯に伝わる「なまはげ」は、場所によって言い伝えや姿も異なる。 特に注目すべきなのが、半島南西部沿岸の赤神神社。 ここにはまた別の伝承がある。 ●漢の武帝が、海の彼方より五匹のこうもりを連れて来た ●そのこうもりが鬼となり、村を荒らし回る ●困った村人は鬼らと賭けをし、知略によって退散させる ●赤神神社の五社堂はその鬼らを祀り、これが「なまはげ」の起源という 「なまはげ」のような来訪神とは何なのか?古代における「未知との遭遇」とは?卒業式前日、自らマレビトと化して追う、彼方より寄り来る「異類」たちの足跡。 語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰
