    "description_ja": "中津川が流れ込んでいた正蓮寺川の北岸に位置する、日蓮宗の寺です。寛永2年（1625）、正蓮日寶が小庵を建立したのが始まりで、古くは七堂伽藍が備わり、大阪25か寺に数えられていましたが、火災や地震のため滅失しました。現本堂は明治7年（1874）のものです。毎年8月26日に行われる川施餓鬼（かわせがき）では、五色の吹流しや玄題旗（げんだいき：お題目を書いたのぼり）を立て、日蓮聖人立像を納めた御輿や多数の経木などを納めた船団が伝法水門から淀川に進み、導師が読経をする中、参列者と一緒に経木を川に流します。これは、餓鬼道（がきどう）にあって飢えや渇きに苦しんでいる有縁無縁の諸霊に、飲食（おんじき）を施し供養することで自身も仏道修行の成就を願う仏事であるといいます。享保6年（1721）から始まり、日本三大施餓鬼のひとつとして、大阪市無形民俗文化財にも指定されています。",
    "description_en": "Shorenji is a Nichiren-sect temple on the north bank of the Shorenji River, into which the Nakatsugawa once flowed. It began in Kan'ei 2 (1625), when Shoren Nippo put up a small hermitage. It once had a full complex of seven halls and was counted among the 25 temples of Osaka, but the buildings were lost to fire and earthquake, and the present main hall dates from Meiji 7 (1874). At the kawa-segaki held on 26 August each year, five-coloured streamers and gendaiki, banners bearing the daimoku, are raised, and a flotilla carrying a palanquin with a standing statue of Nichiren Shonin and a great many kyogi, thin wooden memorial tablets, goes out from the Denpo water gate into the Yodo River. While the officiating priest chants the sutra, the congregation float the kyogi on the water. The rite offers food and drink to the spirits of the dead, connected and unconnected, who suffer hunger and thirst in the realm of hungry ghosts, and in making that offering the participants also pray to complete their own Buddhist practice. It began in Kyoho 6 (1721), is counted one of the three great segaki of Japan and is designated an intangible folk cultural property of the City of Osaka.",
