Kazui-ji
藤井寺市藤井寺１丁目１６−２１
A temple of the Mishima-ji branch of the Shingon sect, enshrining an Eleven-Faced, Thousand-Armed Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) as its principal image, which is said to be the oldest in Japan. It houses a National Treasure, a dry-lacquer seated statue of Thousand-Armed Kannon, and is also known as the 5th station of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.
History
Founded in 725 CE (Shoki 2) by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu, with the founding monk traditionally said to be Rowan. In 807 CE (Doto 1), it was rebuilt by Prince Aho, who also constructed the Oku-no-in (inner sanctuary). From the late Heian period, it became known as a Kannon pilgrimage site and became one of the stations of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.
