Hozonji Mizukake Fudozon (Nishimuki Fudo Myo-o)

〒542-0076 大阪府大阪市中央区難波1丁目2−16

4.4(352)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Namba, Chuo Ward, Osaka City. It is famous for the Mizukake Fudo (Water-Sprinkled Fudo) statue, whose entire body is covered in moss.

History

The temple was founded by the high priest Koin as the head temple in Kitayama Village, Uji District, Yamashiro Province. In 1637 CE (Kaneiro 14), it was relocated to its current site by the high priest Chuon Sen'nen due to a tradition associated with Konpira Tenno. During the Great Osaka Air Raid, everything was destroyed except for the Mizukake Fudo Myo-o statue. Later, the temple formed a connection with Chōen-ji, which transferred the main deity and built the current main hall.
