Mizusawa-ji: Hexagonal Double Pagoda
渋川市伊香保町水沢２１４
A Tendai sect temple enshrining the main deity, Eleven-Faced Thousand-Armed Kannon (Avalokiteshvara). It is known as the 16th station of the Bando 33 Kannon pilgrimage.
History
It is said to have been founded during the Asuka period by Takamitsu, the provincial governor of Ueno Province. The 'Shinto Shu' (Collection of Shinto) from the Nanbokucho period records that Ika-hime, the widow of General Takamitsu, enshrined Thousand-Armed Kannon to pray for the repose of her husband's soul. In 1658 CE (Meirei 4), after the death of the Dharma Master Sonshu, he was recognized as the first founder of the temple's revival, and the temple was granted a vermilion seal letter by the Edo Shogunate.
