Above the sea, and 10 cho further over a hill is a Shin-to chapel built at the spot where Yoshitsune as a boy used to visit a friendly monk in order to obtain instruction in the theory of war. After the death of Yoshimoto in the civil war of 1159, his beautiful mistress was forced to yield to the desires of Kiyomori, and the lives of her three children were spared on the condition that they became monks. Yoshitsune, the youngest, better known during his boyhood as Ushiwaka (Young Bull), was pla...ced as a pupil in the monastery of Kuruma yama. His natural disposition inclined him far more to the calling of a warrior than to the study of Buddhist theology, and he spent his time in archery, fencing, athletic exercises, and other con- genial amusements, to the great distraction of the priests in whose charge he had been placed. On his attaining the age of 16 they urged him to become a monk, and to spend the rest of his day in praying for the soul of his father, but Ushiwaka replied that his ignorance of priestly lore would be a bar to his rising to the church, and as he did not choose to sink into the position of a begging monk, he preferred to remain a layman.
