小栗上野介の顕彰活動 Activities in Honor of Kozukenosuke Oguri
小栗上野介の顕彰活動は、権田の村人が小栗道子夫人らの会津脱出を護衛し、無事に守り通したことに始まる。その後のお墓建立、お首級（くび）迎え、明治から続いた墓前供養、顕彰慰霊碑建立、胸像建立や、現在の小栗まつりなどはその延長線上の顕彰事業といえます。 The activities in honor of Kozukenosuke Oguri began when the villagers of Gonda escorted Michiko Oguri, who was Kozukenosuke's wife, and her family to Aizu and kept them safe. The subsequent construction of his grave, the welcoming his head to Tozenji Temple, the graveside memorial services that have continued since the Meiji era, the erection of a cenotaph in his honor, the erection of his bust, and the current Oguri Matsuri (Festival) are all extensions of these efforts to honor him.

Mrs. Michiko Oguri, his wife, Kuniko Oguri, his mother, and Yokiko, his adopted daughter, were escorted by about 30 villagers on the arduous journey from Gonda to Sakaue village of Azuma-county, Kuni village, Jizo Pass, Akiyamago, Tokamachi, and Niigata, and finally entered Aizu Wakamatsu. Michiko gave birth to a baby girl during the Aizu War and named her Kuni. In early spring of 1869 (2nd year of the Meiji Era), the year after the defeat in the Aizu War, Michiko left Aizu with Kuni, escorted by the Gonda villagers. After escorting them to Tokyo and then Shizuoka, the villagers returned to Gonda. When they returned, however, they looked "as good as beggars," according to a legend. This was the beginning of the Gonda Village's efforts to honor Kozukenosuke Oguri.

The activities in honor of Kozukenosuke Oguri began when the villagers of Gonda escorted Michiko Oguri, who was Kozukenosuke's wife, and her family to Aizu and kept them safe. The subsequent construction of his grave, the welcoming his head to Tozenji Temple, the graveside memorial services that have continued since the Meiji era, the erection of a cenotaph in his honor, the erection of his bust, and the current Oguri Matsuri (Festival) are all extensions of these efforts to honor him.

Three days before being killed, Kozukenosuke Oguri, sensing the unsettled situation, asked villagers including Sanzaemon Nakajima of Gonda Village to evacuate his family to Aizu. Mrs. Michiko Oguri, his wife, Kuniko Oguri, his mother, and Yokiko, his adopted daughter, were escorted by about 30 villagers on the arduous journey from Gonda to Sakaue village of Azuma-county, Kuni village, Jizo Pass, Akiyamago, Tokamachi, and Niigata, and finally entered Aizu Wakamatsu. Michiko gave birth to a baby girl during the Aizu War and named her Kuni. In early spring of 1869 (2nd year of the Meiji Era), the year after the defeat in the Aizu War, Michiko left Aizu with Kuni, escorted by the Gonda villagers.

In September 1913, Shigenobu Okuma and his wife, Ayako, (the couple on the left front of the photo) visited the grave. Ayako Okuma is a cousin of Kozukenosuke.
