Moreya or Moriya (洩矢神 Moreya (Moriya)-no-Kami or Moreya (Moriya)-shin) is a Japanese deity who appears in various myths and legends of the Suwa region in Nagano Prefecture (historical Shinano Province). The most famous of such stories is his battle and subsequent defeat under the hands of Takeminakata, also known as Suwa (Dai)myōjin (諏訪大明神), the god of the Grand Shrine of Suwa, who in one version of the myths about him was supposed to have established his rule in the region by subjugating local deities who resisted him.

Moriya is also held to be the ancestor of the Moriya clan (守矢氏), who originally served in one of Suwa Shrine's two sub-shrines, the Upper Shrine (上社 Kamisha) as priests known as Kan-no-Osa (神長) or Jinchōkan (神長官). The Jinchōkan, a hereditary position passed down from father to son, occupied an important position in the Upper Shrine due to his prerogative to summon and dismiss divine spirit(s) called Mishaguji during certain religious rituals of the Upper Shrine.

Due to the similarity of their names, Moriya has been for a long time conflated with the anti-Buddhist Ōmuraji Mononobe no Moriya, who was defeated by the pro-Buddhist Soga clan in 587.

Name

What is currently the most common rendering of Moriya's name in kanji (洩矢) appear in sources such as the Suwa Daimyōjin Ekotoba (1356), where the god is pejoratively referred to as an 'evil outlaw' (洩矢の悪賊 Moriya no akuzoku), and the written genealogy of the Moriya clan, the Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu (early Meiji period). It is also the rendering adopted by Moriya Shrine (洩矢神社) in Okaya City in Nagano.[1][2]

In addition, a number of texts (see below) refer to the god as Moriya Daijin (守屋大臣), an epithet also used for the historical Mononobe no Moriya.[3][4][5]

Finally, the rendering 守宅[6] is also attested, although this is more commonly applied to Moreya's son, Moriya/Morita (see below).

Mythology

Battle with Suwa Myōjin

Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda).

The most famous story involving Moreya is that of his conflict against the god of Suwa Grand Shrine, known either as Takeminakata (the name given to him in the Kojiki and the official histories) or as Suwa (Dai)myōjin.

The basic gist of this myth in most sources involves a certain god (in most sources identified with Suwa Myōjin/Takeminakata) defeating Moreya, who is often described as armed with a certain kind of iron weapon or implement, using only a branch or vine of wisteria.[7][8][9][10][11] Some versions of the story end with the triumphant god planting or discarding the branch, which then turns into a tree or a whole forest of wisterias.

In the Kamisha Monoimi-rei

In Suwa Nobushige's petition

The earliest written version of this myth is found in a petition (解状 gejō) submitted by Suwa Nobushige (諏訪信重), then high priest (Ōhōri) of the Upper Shrine of Suwa, to the Kamakura shogunate in 1249.[12][13] The Upper Shrine was at the time involved in a dispute with the high priest of the Lower Shrine as to which of them was the main shrine of the area, and thus, is to set a precedent in religious rites. Against the Lower Shrine's charges, Nobushige argued for his own shrine's superiority by describing its origin myths and its ceremonies.[14]

In the petition, Nobushige relates a story from "the ancient customs" (舊貫) that the Upper Shrine's precincts was once the land of 'Moriya Daijin' (守屋大臣, lit. 'Chancellor Moriya'), who got into a dispute with a god (明神 Myōjin) who came down from heaven and was seeking to gain possession of his land. After arguments and armed conflicts fail to settle the matter, the two finally compete in a tug of war using hooks (kagi) made out of wisteria (藤鎰) and iron (鐵鎰). After his victory, the god imposed punishment on Moriya and built his dwelling (what would become the Upper Shrine) in Moriya's land. The wisteria, which was planted before the god's dwelling, turned into a grove known as the 'Forest of Fujisuwa' (藤諏訪之森 Fujisuwa no mori), which in turn gave its name to the region.[a][15][16][17]

In a later passage, Nobushige states that the god brought a mirror (真澄の鏡 Masumi no kagami), a bell (八栄の鈴 Yasaka no suzu), a bridle (轡) and a saddle (唐鞍) with him during his descent from heaven, which were preserved in his day as the Upper Shrine's sacred treasures.[b][17][18][19]

In the Suwa Daimyōjin Ekotoba and the Suwa Daimyojin Kōshiki

Fujishima Shrine during the early 20th century.

What is perhaps the most well-known version of the story occurs in Suwa (Kosaka) Enchū's Suwa Daimyōjin Ekotoba (1356) as an origin myth of Fujishima Shrine (藤島社 Fujishima-sha or 藤島大明神 Fujishima Daimyōjin) in Suwa City, one of the Upper Shrine's auxiliary shrines where its yearly rice-planting ceremony is traditionally held.[19][20][21][22] In this version, Moreya is described as an "evil outlaw" (洩矢の悪賊 Moreya no akuzoku) using a ring of iron (鐵輪) as his weapon.

End [of June] - The rice-planting ritual.

The following ceremony is held before Fujishima Shrine (藤島社): the Ōhōri, the priests and other men and women don fresh clothes and come to this place. Gagaku [musicians], bearing farming tools, till the rice fields. With the five chief priests (五官) presiding over the proceedings, the shrine maidens act as rice planters (saotome); appointed performers (職掌 shikishō), meanwhile, beat drums, clap, sing and dance with sasara in their hands. (...) After thirty days the rice ripens and is presented as an offering to the god [of Suwa Shrine] in the first of August. This is one of the [Upper] Shrine's wonders.

As for this so-called Fujishima no Myōjin (藤島明神): long ago, when the revered deity (尊神 sonshin) manifested himself, Moreya the evil outlaw (洩矢の惡賊) sought to hinder the god's stay and fought him with an iron ring (鐵輪), but the Myōjin, taking up a wisteria branch (藤の枝), defeated him, thus finally subduing heresy (邪輪 jarin, lit. "wheel/circle/ring of evil") and establishing the true Dharma. When the Myōjin swore an oath and threw the wisteria branch away, immediately it took root [in the ground], its branches and leaves flourishing in abundance, and [sprouted] beautiful blossoms, leaving behind a marker of the battleground for posterity. 'Fujishima no Myōjin' is named thus for this reason.[c][23][24]

A record of the Upper Shrine's regulations or taboos (物忌み monoimi)[25] originally enforced in 1238, the Suwa Kamisha butsuki (or: monoimi no) rei no koto (諏訪上社物忌令之事),[26] lists 'Fujishima Daimyōjin' as the first of thirteen middle-rank auxiliary shrines of the Kamisha (中十三所 Chū-jūsansho) and identifies its god as a manifestation of the wrathful Wisdom King Acala (aka Fudō-Myōō).[21][27] Nowadays, the shrine is instead considered to be dedicated to the goddess Konohana-Sakuya-Hime.[28]

The myth is retold in a substantially similar fashion in a Shinto-Buddhist liturgical eulogy (講式 kōshiki) to the Suwa deity believed to have been composed by Enchū around the same time as the Ekotoba known as the Suwa Daimyōjin Kōshiki (諏方大明神講式).[29][30][31]

In Suwa clan genealogies

Two genealogies of the Suwa clan, the Maeda-bon Jinshi Keizu (前田本 神氏系図)[32][33] and the Jinke Keizu (神家系図),[34] contain a somewhat euhemerized variant of the myth: the battle is placed during the reign of the Emperor Yōmei (reigned 585-587), Moreya - again referred to as 'Moriya (Daijin)' (守屋(大臣)) - is apparently conflated with the anti-Buddhist ōmuraji Mononobe no Moriya (died 587), and Suwa Myōjin fights the battle through his avatar, the boy priest Arikazu (有員).[d][e]

A Muromachi period work authored by Rinzai monk Ten'in Ryūtaku (天隠龍沢, 1422-1500)[35] known as the Ten'in-goroku (天陰語録) recounts this variant of the myth: here, Arikazu was said to have defeated Moreya/Moriya "at the time of the 32nd human sovereign Emperor Yōmei, (when) Buddhism spread to the east." (人皇卅二代用明天皇、佛法東流之時)[f][36]

In the Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu

The Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu (神長守矢氏系譜), a genealogy of the Moriya clan compiled at the beginning of the Meiji period by Moriya Saneyoshi (守矢実久),[37][38][39] meanwhile identifies Moreya's opponent with Takeminakata as he appears in both the Kojiki and the Sendai Kuji Hongi: a god driven away from the land of Izumo.

When Minakatatomi-no-Mikoto (御名方刀美命) fled from Izumo to the sea of Suwa, the god Moreya (洩矢神) who was dwelling by its shores - a shrine [to whom] is found in the village of Hashihara - resisted him. Though they fought each other using wisteria and iron kagi (藤鑰鐵鑰), [Moreya] finally submitted to the august power of Minakatatomi-no-Mikoto, vowing to give up the land for the god to govern politically and religiously (祭政). Minakatatomi-no-Mikoto recited the following song:

(Man'yōgana) 鹿兒弓乃 眞弓乎持弖 宮滿茂里 矢竹心爾 仕布麻都連與
Kagoyumi no / mayumi o mochite / miya mamori / yatake-gokoro ni / tsukaumatsureyo
("Wielding your bow / made of spindle wood, / protect my dwelling (or 'shrine') / and attend to me / stout-heartedly!")

He then planted the wisteria [on the ground], which later grew and became known as the Forest of Fujisuwa (藤洲羽森).[g]

Moreya and Yatsukao/Ganigawara

Another myth involving Moreya concerns the defeat of the god Yatsukao-no-Mikoto (矢塚男命) also known as Ganigawara (蟹河原長者 Ganigawara-chōja) of Tenpaku-shime Shrine (天白七五三社) in Chino City.[40][41][42]

There is an oral tradition that the shrine's god, Yatsukao-no-Mikoto, dwelt inside a cave in this area ... When Takeminakata-no-Mikoto came to this land, he (Yatsukao?) fought Moreya-no-Kami with bow and arrow. When Yatsukao was struck by the arrow and was about to die, he said to Takeminakata-no-Mikoto, "I should have submitted to you, O great god! I have a daughter - I give her to you." After saying this, he died.[43][h]

A folk version of the story states that after Moreya's defeat in the hands of the Suwa deity (identified here with Takeminakata of Izumo), Ganigawara, a powerful and wealthy god/chieftain in the region, held Moreya in contempt for surrendering to the foreign god and even had messengers publicly revile him as a coward. When Moreya paid no heed to their insults, Ganigawara's servants began to resort to violence, shooting arrows at the palace Moreya and other deities were erecting for Takeminakata. Takeminakata, considering it an affront, then launched an all-out attack against Ganigawara, who was caught unprepared and thus, was quickly defeated.[44]

Ganigawara, mortally wounded by an arrow in the assault, repents in his deathbed and, via Moreya, entrusts his youngest daughter to Takeminakata. Takeminakata gives her hand in marriage to Taokihooi-no-Mikoto (手置帆負命) a.k.a. Hikosashiri/Hikosachi-no-Kami (彦狭知神),[i] who was injured by Ganigawara's messengers as he was keeping watch over Takeminakata's abode. Taokihooi then settled down with his new wife in Ganigawara's land, which he also inherited.[44]

The rain god of Mount Moriya

Behind the Upper Shrine of Suwa, straddling the border between the cities of Suwa and Ina, stands the 1,650 metre-high[48][49] Mount Moriya (守屋山 Moriya-san), which is often claimed to be the shrine's go-shintai.[49][50]

The god of this mountain, usually called Moriya Daijin (守屋大臣), identified with either Moreya[51] (in Suwa Nobushige's petition, the Maeda-bon Jinshi Keizu, and the Jinke Keizu, the mountain is portrayed as the battleground between Suwa Myōjin/the priest Arikazu and 'Moriya Daijin'[17][32][34]) or Mononobe no Moriya (a miniature shrine or hokora located on the mountain's peak is currently considered as the rear shrine or oku no miya (奥宮) of a shrine to the Mononobe chancellor on the slopes of the mountain[52][53]), is traditionally held as a weather deity who causes rain to fall when angered.[54] Local rainmaking rituals once involved provoking the god into sending rain by vandalizing the hokora or throwing it down the mountain side.[49][52][54]

The hokora (fenced by a wooden barricade) at the peak of Mount Moriya during the early 20th century. The hokora was once the target of ritual desecration by locals whenever rain was needed.

Popular belief holds that rain falls whenever clouds gather around the mountain top.[48][54] A local folk song advises people to prepare to mow the fields whenever the following signs of incoming rain are observed:

(Man'yōgana) 於自理皮礼 守矢敞雲乎 巻上而 百舌鳥義智奈哿婆 鎌遠登具倍斯
(おじり晴れ 守矢へ雲を 巻き上げて もずぎち鳴かば 鎌をとぐべし)
Ojiri hare / Moriya e kumo o / maki agete / mozu gichi nakaba / kama o togu beshi
"When the sun at Ojiri / pushes clouds / towards (Mount) Moriya / and the shrike (mozu) chatters / sharpen your sickles."[48][52]

Offspring

The Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu claims Moreya to have had two children, a daughter named Tamaru-hime (多満留姫) and a son named Moriya[55] (守宅神 or 守矢神[39]) or Morita-no-Kami (守田神).[j][39][56] Tamaru-hime married Izuhayao (出速雄神), a son of Takeminakata,[k] while Morita became the father of the god Chikatō (千鹿頭神), who married Urako-hime (宇良古比売命), the goddess of Mount Urako (宇良古山) in modern-day Matsumoto City.[l][37][57]

Curiously, according to the genealogy Chikatō was succeeded by Kodamahiko (児玉彦命), the son of Katakurabe (片倉辺命), another one of Takeminakata's children, under the orders of the god himself.[37] Kodamahiko was said to have married Mitsutama-hime (美都多麻比売神), the daughter of Moritatsu (守達神) - identified in the genealogy as yet another son of Takeminakata[m] - and begat the god Yakushi (八櫛神).[n][37][56]

Analysis

The story of Moreya's battle against Suwa Myōjin/Takeminakata/Arikazu has been interpreted either as a mythicization of a conflict between indigenous Jōmon hunter-gatherers of the Suwa region and agrarian Yayoi peoples who began to settle in the area,[58][59] or between the local clans of Suwa and the expanding Yamato state somewhere during the 6th to 7th centuries CE (Asuka period).[60][61] Accordingly, Moreya is believed by some to be a deified indigenous priest-chieftain or clan leader who once held political and religious authority over the Suwa region.[7][62]

The author Iwao Ōwa (1990) meanwhile theorizes Moreya to be a personification of the guardian nature spirit or Mishaguji worshipped by the Moriya clan. He further proposes that Moreya/Moriya and Moriya/Morita - Moreya's son in the Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu - were originally a single figure later split into two, with the elder Moriya (Moreya) being connected with hunting and the younger Moriya (Morita) being mostly associated with sedentary agriculture.[63]

Mononobe no Moriya by Kikuchi Yōsai
The Jinchōkan-ura Kofun (神長官裏古墳) in the Moriya estate in Chino, Nagano. The 7th century tomb is linked with Mononobe no Moriya's supposed son Takemaro in family lore.

Moreya, the Moriya clan and Mononobe no Moriya

The similarity between the names of both Moreya/Moriya and the 6th century Ōmuraji Mononobe no Moriya, who opposed the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, had led to a long-standing conflation of the two figures (cf. Moreya being called Moriya Daijin in medieval texts).

A certain legend claims that a son of Mononobe no Moriya, named either Takemaro (武麿) or Otogimi (弟君), survived the defeat of the Mononobe in the Battle of Mount Shigi in 587 and fled to Suwa, where he married into the Jinchō Moriya clan; Takemaro is thus reckoned as a clan ancestor in the Jinchō Moriya-shi Keifu.[o][64] A small mound in the Moriya clan's historical estate in Chino dated to the 7th century[65] is claimed in family lore to be Takemaro's tomb.[66]

Ōwa (1990) believes this story to be modelled after the biography of Mononobe no Masara (物部麻佐良), who according to the Sendai Kuji Hongi married Imoko (妹古), the daughter of an unidentified 'Suwa-no-Atai' (須羽直) during the reign of Emperor Buretsu in the late 5th century, yet sees it as at least being inspired by a real-life connection between the Mononobe clan and Shinano Province.[64]

Moriya Shrine in Okaya City where Moreya is worshipped currently denies any connection between the god and the Mononobe chancellor.[67]

Descendants

Moreya is held to be the ancestor of the Moriya clan (守矢氏), which traditionally served as priests of the Suwa Kamisha.[7][68]

The chief priest of the Kamisha was the ōhōri or ōhafuri (大祝 'great priest'), who was considered to be a living deity and the embodiment of Suwa Myōjin, the god of the shrine. Assisting the ōhōri (who by tradition was a member of the Suwa clan, Suwa Myōjin's supposed descendants[7]) were five priests, at the head of which was the kan-no-osa (神長, also jinchō) or jinchōkan (神長官), an office occupied by members of the Moriya clan. The jinchōkan oversaw the Kamisha's rites and ceremonies in general and summoned Mishaguji - a god or gods thought to inhabit rocks or trees worshipped in the region since ancient times[69][70] and regarded by the Moriya as their patron deity - to possess individuals or inanimate objects during ceremonies, being the only one considered to be able to do so.[71]

The Jinchōkan Moriya Historical Museum in Chino, Nagano, built by architect Terunobu Fujimori.

It has been observed that the religious climate of Suwa is a syncretism of ancient indigenous beliefs and practices (e.g. the worship of Mishaguji) reorganized under a Yamato framework (e.g. Suwa Myōjin/Takeminakata, the cult of the ōhōri), but with the local element still predominant. Despite (or perhaps because of) his officially being a living god and the Kamisha's chief priest, the Suwa ōhōri - who assumed the office during childhood - had little, if any, real power or influence in the shrine's affairs, which firmly rested in the hands of the Moriya jinchōkan,[72] with his unique ability to hear Mishaguji and call upon the god(s) to descend upon someone or something[69] and his knowledge of special rituals, which were closely guarded secrets traditionally passed down via word of mouth only to a single individual, the heir to the office of jinchōkan.[73][74]

The establishment of State Shinto in the Meiji period abolished the tradition of hereditary succession among Shinto priests and private ownership of shrines.[75][76][77] Accordingly, the shrine at Suwa passed under the control of the state, with government appointees replacing the clans who had historically served as its priests, the Suwa and the Moriya among them. As the ancient priestly offices of the shrine became defunct, most of the unwritten tradition once guarded by the Moriya jinchōkan died with the last occupant of the position.[73] A museum dedicated to preserving information about the Moriya and documents owned by the family, the Jinchōkan Moriya Historical Museum (神長官守矢史料館 Jinchōkan Moriya Shiryōkan), currently stands on the clan estate in Chino City, Nagano.[78][79]

Shrine

A single shrine to Moreya, Moriya Shrine (洩矢神社 Moriya-jinja), stands in Okaya City, Nagano, near the Tenryū River. On the opposite bank stands Fujishima Shrine (藤島神社 Fujishima-jinja), where legend says Suwa Myōjin stood or encamped during the battle. The other Fujishima Shrine (藤島社 Fujishima-sha), where the wisteria Suwa Myōjin used during the battle was supposedly planted and sprouted, is in Nakasu, Suwa City.[80][81]
