天璋院篤姫の大石寺信仰について


平成20年のNHK大河ドラマの主人公『篤姫(あつひめ)』は、日蓮正宗信徒の先輩なのです。


The heroin of the NHK Taiga Drama in 2008 is Princess Atsu-hime (1836-1880) who was a Nichiren Shoshu believer and the chief wife of Tokugawa Iesada, the 13th Shogun. She helped to rebuild Onshin-bo Temple in Taiseki-ji. She played a very important historical role in the end of Japanese feudal period with the bloodless surrender of Edo Castle. (But I think the relation between Nichiei-shonin, the 51st High Priest, and Atsu-hime would not be played in the drama.)
