Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage Sites, Stop 19: Tatsu-e-ji Temple
日本、〒773-0017 徳島県小松島市立江町若松１３
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, this is the 19th stop on the Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage. It is known as the 'General Checkpoint of Shikoku' or the 'Checkpoint of Awa.'
History
Legend holds that the temple was founded in the 19th year of the Tenpyo era (747 CE) by the monk Gyoki, who prayed for the safe delivery of Empress Komyo. When Kukai visited, he resized the principal image to life size, which led to the temple being named Tatsu-e-ji. The temple was completely destroyed by fire during the military campaigns of Chosokabe Motochika, but was later rebuilt on its current site by Hachisuka Nagayoshi.

The main hall is impressively constructed, featuring luxurious grid ceiling paintings, and visitors can view the principal image, which survived the fire. The mountain gate and main hall are decorated with vibrant five-colored cloths, allowing for worship in a tranquil atmosphere. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) can be received at the sutra registration office. There are paid parking lots and free gravel parking areas nearby.
