History

According to temple tradition, it was founded in 741 CE (Tenpyo 13) when Gyoji carved and enshrined the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva. Later, in 815 CE (Kokin 6), Kukai carved and enshrited Bishamonten (Vaisravana), and the temple became the fundamental training ground for the Hoshuku (Star Offering) ritual.
