今年、NHK大河ドラマで北条義時が主人公ということもあり、ゆかりの鎌倉の2つの施設で関連する展覧会が、年間を通じて企画された。
初めに鎌倉歴史文化館の方を鑑賞して、続いて、こちらの鎌倉国宝館を訪れた。
源実朝が書いたとされる、3種の和歌と白衣観音像が展示されていた。
おそらく、実際は別な人物が書いたものだろうが、わずか26歳で亡くなった実朝が、何かを残したはずだという強い思いが、そうした和歌や仏画を実朝が書いたものと思わせるのだろう。
実朝の首が埋められた場所に建てられていたという五重塔。以前にも目にしたことがあったが、見るたびに、実朝に思いを馳せてしまう。
一方、展覧会の主役である北条義時は、1224年に病気で亡くなった。死後、北条政子らによって、源頼朝の墓所の近くに、法華堂が作られて、そこに葬られたという。
その法華堂にゆかりの品々も展示されていて、源実朝と北条義時という、因縁の深い二人の関係などを、改めて考えさせられた。
Since Yoshitoki Hojo is the main character in this year's NHK Taiga drama, related exhibitions were planned throughout the year at two facilities in Kamakura that are closely related to Hojo Yoshitoki.
First, I visited the Kamakura Museum of History and Culture, and then visited the Kamakura National Treasure Museum.
Three kinds of waka poems written by Minamoto no Sanetomo and a white-robed Kannon statue were on display.
Perhaps they were actually written by someone else, but the strong feeling that Sanetomo, who died at the age of 26, must have left something behind makes us think that these waka poems and Buddhist paintings were written by Sanetomo. I wonder.
A five-storied pagoda that was built where Sanetomo's head was buried. I've seen it before, but every time I see it, I think of Sanetomo.
On the other hand, Hojo Yoshitoki, the protagonist of the exhibition, died of illness in 1224. After his death, Hojo Masako and others built a Hokke-do hall near Minamoto no Yoritomo's grave, and it is said that he was buried there.
Items related to the Hokke-do hall were also on display, and made me think anew about the relationship between Minamoto no Sanetomo and Hojo Yoshitoki, who are closely related to each other.
