Fujino, Shizuoka

Fujino (富士野) is a region covering the southwestern foot of Mount Fuji, located in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Known as the location of the 12th century hunting event Fuji no Makigari, it is also the stage of the Revenge of the Soga Brothers incident.

Fujino is an ancient place name at the southwestern foot of Mount Fuji, which can be seen in the Kamakura period historical chronicle Azuma Kagami.

[9] Shinchō Kōki states the following: At the foot of [Mount] Fuji, in Kaminogahara and Ideno, all of the pages were breaking in horses at their heart's content.

[10] In addition, "Fujino hunting, Soga brothers' nightly revenge" can be seen in Kamakura Hōjō Kyudaiki, but this description is based on Azuma Kagami and Shōgunki.

[11] In Manabon Soga Monogatari, there is a scene in which Minamoto no Yoritomo says "there are many hunting grounds in eastern Japan, but there is no place more famous than Fujino.

On the other hand, in Azuma Kagami, the Ide Mansion does not appear in the part describing the Revenge of the Soga brothers.

[21] In addition, there is a depiction of Tokimune being excited about the revenge saying, "[I shall] travel to Fujino and die fighting to my heart's content.
