We propose the following structure.
In a corner of the residential area of Shinagawa, Tokyo, stands a moss-covered stone monument. This 'Monument of Hiratsuka' is named after the sad legend of Minamoto Yoshimitsu, a historical site where facts and legends are intertwined.
On his way back from the battles in Oshu (current Tohoku region) to Kyoto, Minamoto Yoshimitsu and his entourage camped in this area. However, they were attacked by thieves at night, resulting in the loss of many soldiers and villagers. To mourn the deceased, Yoshimitsu is said to have built a mound.
Today, the 'Monument of Hiratsuka' is located in a quiet residential area surrounded by commercial facilities such as Bamiyan and home centers. This historical site, cherished by local residents, may allow you to feel the atmosphere of the Heian period in the quietness of the urban area.
On the other hand, as the surrounding redevelopment progresses, there are concerns about the protection of historical sites. In the accelerating urbanization of modern times, the preservation of such regional historical heritage has become a challenge.
