Poems about the stone-engraved poem Tsubo no Ishibumi
Tsubo no Ishibumi, said to be somewhere far away in Tsugaru

I ponder the deep land of Michinoku Tsubo no Ishibumi and thesea breeze outdoors / by Saigyo
I cannot understand why you withhold your words, Like the nameof the town in Iwate, Mutsu, Pour your heart into a letter, Long as

/ by Minamoto-No-Yoritomo
It has become the land of monument without the monument
The thought of brave men crosses my mind / by Keigetsu Omachi

Kozan Otsuka (real name Jusuke) was born on
January 1, 1880, in Uranodate Village (now Tohoku
Town) in what was then Kamikita Province, and diedat the young age of 31. During his short life, he leftmany works, including about 1,000 poems, 10,000
haiku and 2,400 tanka poems, as well as some travel
essays. He was a literate man of many talents, having
also worked as an auditor in literary circles, including
the To'oh circle of poetry. Recognized by Ogai Moriand other respected ﬁgures, his works were reputed
to equal the works of Takuboku Ishikawa. To
commemorate his achievements, Tohoku Town had
published a total of 7 volumes of Otsuka's work by
2004, based on materials stored at Hirosaki
University.

About 1,350 years ago, a nobleman called Lord Tachibana
Chunagon Michitada lived in Kyoto. He was living a happy life
there with his two beautiful daughters.
One day, rogues attacked his mansion and killed his high-ranking
oﬃcers. Disillusioned by this bleak world, Lord Michitada
disappeared from Kyoto and built a small secluded house by Lake
Ogawara.
Left stranded in Kyoto by their father, Princess Tamayo andPrincess Katsuyo embarked on a journey to search for him with
two samurai, Oribe Shindo and Sakyonoshin Komazawa. After
visiting many provinces, they ﬁnally arrived at Lake Ogawara only
to be told that their father had already died. On hearing this, thesisters drowned themselves in the lake. The marsh that Princess
Tamayo drowned in has since been called Anenuma (meaning"Elder Sister Marsh"), and the marsh that Princess Katsuyo
drowned in is now known as Imotonuma (meaning "Younger
Sister Marsh"; now Lake Ogawara).
Afterward, Sakyonoshin stayed at Anenuma to protect the marshand the spirit of Princess Tamayo, while Oribe̶inspired by
Princess Katsuyo̶stayed at Imotonuma as the lord of the marsh.
The sisters' spirits paid homage at Numazaki, where their father
had been laid to rest, and the three became Buddhist saints.
Visitors to Lake Ogawara can see statues of Princess Tamayo andPrincess Katsuyo, who stand together as devoted sisters.
The statue of Princess Tamayo was built looking up at the blessed
mountains of Hakkoda, while the statue of Princess Katsuyo wasbuilt praying for safety and happiness on the lake. Together, thesestatues convey the sad, yet compassionate feelings of thesebeautiful sisters from the Nara Period. (built on 1989)
