Hojuzan-ji (Hojuzan Temple)
西条市小松町新屋敷
A Shingon sect temple located in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, which is also the 62nd station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The main image, the Eleven-Faced Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, is revered as a deity for safe childbirth.
History
Established during the Tenpyo era by Doji under an imperial edict from Emperor Shomu. During the Daian era, Kukai carved an image of the Eleven-Faced Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to serve as the main image and changed the temple's name to Hojuzan-ji. Since then, the temple has endured periods of decline due to military campaigns in Shikoku and multiple relocations caused by floods, continuing to the present day.
