Kosaiji Temple
横芝光町虫生４８３
A temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism, with the mountain name Jishi-san. It is known for the performance of the 'Oni Rai-ge' (Welcoming the Oni) dance, which is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
History
Established in the early Kamakura period by the local lord Shiina Akinori, who founded the temple to pray for the soul of his daughter. The founding monk was Ishiya Osho. According to legend, during the founding ceremony, he witnessed the sights of hell, and the 'Oni Rai-ge' dance, which uses masks carved by Buddhist sculptors, was passed down from that time.
