Tozenji Honbo (Tozenji Main Temple)

今治市南宝来町3丁目7−8

4.4(8)

A temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism, enshrining a life-sized standing statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) as its main object of veneration, known locally as the 'Kininbon Oyakushi-sama' (Life-sized Medicine Buddha of Kininbon).

History

The temple's origins date back to 598 CE (Suiko 10), when Iyo Province Governor Ochi Masukimi built a hall to pray for the souls of his subordinates who died in battle. In 729 CE (Tenpyo 1), it is said that the priest Gyoki carved a life-sized statue of Yakushi Nyorai from the trunk of a sacred tree and installed it there. Over the centuries, the temple received patronage from the Kamo, Todo, and Matsudaira clans, and its buildings have been repeatedly rebuilt and repaired following wars and natural disasters.
