Kobu Kannon Meigenji
〒370-0604 群馬県邑楽郡邑楽町石打２３７−１
Meigenji Temple, a Soto sect temple located on Mount Getsuon, is known as a pilgrimage site for 'Kobu Kannon' (Bump Kannon). It enshrines the Thousand-Armed Kannon (Senju Kannon) as its principal deity, a designation derived from local legends concerning 'Kobu Kannon' and 'Kojo Kannon' (Child-Bearing Kannon).
History
Originally founded in 1204 CE (Genkyu 1) as a Tendai sect temple, it was later re-established in 1574 CE (Tensho 2) as a Soto sect temple. The common name 'Kobu Kannon' originates from two legends illustrating the miraculous powers of the Kannon deity: 'Kojo Kannon' and 'Kobu Kannon'.
