Senzu-ji Kannon (Senzu-ji Kannon Temple)
あま市甚目寺東門前２４
Located on Mount Houou in Ama City, Aichi Prefecture, Senzu-ji is a temple of the Chisan sect of Shingon Buddhism, commonly known as Senzu-ji Kannon. It enshrines Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its principal deity and serves as a pilgrimage site for the Tokai 36 Fudara (Acala) and the Owari 33 Kannon.
History
Legend holds that the temple was founded in the 5th year of Empress Suiko's reign when Senzu Ryuma, a fisherman, enshrined a statue of Kannon that had been caught in his net. It became an imperial temple after prayers for the recovery of Emperor Tenji's illness. During the Kamakura period, it flourished to the extent of comprising one mountain and 500 sub-temples. In the Sengoku period, it received protection from Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and donations from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Yoshinao.
