Fujido-ji Temple

1, 藤戸-57-57 藤戸町 倉敷市

4.0(100)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, enshrining Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) as its principal image. It is known as the 'Great Master of Fujido' and as a temple for the memorial rites of the Genpei War.

History

The temple's origins trace back to the second year of Keiun (905 CE), when a statue of Senju Kannon was said to have surfaced from the sea. Approximately thirty years later, during the Tenpyo era, the temple was founded by Kibi no Daiji (Kibi no Daiji). Legend holds that Sasaki Kiyomori, who achieved military merit in the Battle of Fujido during the Genpei War, held a grand memorial service to mourn the fallen. During the Edo period, the temple became part of the Okazaki Domain's territory, and its precincts were developed. The main hall was rebuilt in the first year of Tenmei (1781 CE).
