I had long known that my ancestor, General Takeda Shingen, stayed for a while at Mt. Hōraiji in Aichi Prefecture before his death. Yesterday, for the first time in some decades, I visited the place. An elderly man at the tourist information center kindly explained to me where General Shingen had stayed. Just learning that made me happy.
When I told him that I was a descendant of the general, he shared various stories with me. I thought he was a truly respectable man, with a dignified appearance and good posture.
ぼくの先祖の武田信玄公は、亡くなる前に愛知県の鳳来寺山でしばらく逗留したというのは以前から知っていた。昨日は何十年ぶりかでそこへ行ってきた。どこで留まっていたのか、観光案内所のご老人がていねいに教えてくれた。それを知っただけでも嬉しかった。ぼくがその武将の子孫というといろいろな話を聞かせてくださった。その方は、身なりも姿勢もよくとても立派な方だと思った。
