From Kikuchi Kan's novel "Beyond the Enemy" → Where did you end up in the training of atonement?..(From Mino Province to Bungo Province)

Ichikuro, who killed the master of the bow, Nakagawa Saburoemon, and Ichikuro, who was disappointed by the humanity of the bow he had an affair with....

Ichikuro offered his repentance to Shonin at Joganji Temple in Ogaki, Mino Province, for all his sins.

On the other hand, Shonin recommended that people devote themselves to Buddhism and give up their lives to serve others.

In this way, Ichikuro became a priest, went through training under the name of 'Ryokai,' and left Joganji Temple to relieve the suffering people.

To atone for his sins, Ryokai started tunnel construction by driving chisel into the great precipice.

Meanwhile, Sannosuke, a child of Saburoemon NAKAGAWA, goes on a journey to avenge his father. Ryokai, who is digging a chain crossing in Bungo Province, finds out that it is Ichikuro who killed Sannosuke's father. Frustrated by an unexpected incident, Sannosuke tries to attack Ryokai from behind in the cave, but when he sees Ryokai chanting sutras, he stops. Thinking that the only way to avenge was to finish the tunnel construction, Sannosuke and Ryokai began to chisel together. When the tunnel was completed 21 years after Ryokai started the tunnel construction, one year and six months later, Sannosuke's hatred completely disappeared and the two had forgotten everything. It is said that there was only a bond between people who had suffered together...That's it.

... Read more『恩讐の彼方に』は、菊池寛の代表作のひとつであり、人間の赦しと和解を深く描いた小説です。主人公市九郎が犯した罪とその償いのために仏門に帰依し、了海として苦難のトンネル工事に身を捧げる姿は、ただの罪滅ぼし以上に、強い人生の転換と成長の象徴です。 私自身もこの物語を知ることで、過去の過ちや後悔にどう向き合い、どのように乗り越えていくかを考えさせられました。実在する青の洞門は、豊後の耶馬溪に位置し、その険しい岩壁に手彫りで作られたトンネル工事は、了海の覚悟と努力を物語る実際の歴史的遺産です。訪れた際は、ただの観光スポットではなく、人の心の苦悩と浄化を体感できる場所として感じられました。 21年以上もの年月をかけた工事は、忍耐と献身の証。仇敵の子・実之助とともに鑿を振るう場面は、敵対が人間同士の絆に変わる瞬間として心に残ります。経文を唱える「青心同門」の光景は、まさに作者が伝えたかった赦しの精神の象徴といえるでしょう。 この小説と実際の青の洞門の存在は、現代の私たちにも深いメッセージを届けてくれます。過去の失敗に苦しみを抱える人にとって、赦しと再生のヒントが隠されており、修行や自己犠牲の先にある人間関係の修復は誰にでも共感できるテーマです。私も青の洞門を訪れた際、自然の力強さと人の心の強さが融合した場所だと感動しました。 この記事を通じて、この美しい物語の魅力と耶馬溪・中津市の歴史的スポットのことをもっと多くの人に知ってもらいたいです。そして、罪を償いながらも人を思いやる心の大切さを改めて感じていただければと思います。
