Kumagiji Temple, 8th Pilgrimage Site of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage
日本、〒771-1506 徳島県阿波市土成町土成前田１８５
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, this is the 8th site of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. It is also famous as a cherry blossom spot. On the 18th of every month, the main statue, the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva, is illuminated by lights.
History
According to tradition, in 815 CE (Kounin 6), Kukai received a divine revelation from Hi-taki Gongen of Kumano while in training and was granted a golden statue of Kannon. He then built a hall and carved a life-sized statue of the Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva from a sacred tree to serve as the main image. The main statue was lost in a fire in 1927, but a newly created main statue was consecrated in the main hall, which was rebuilt in 1971.
