Ganzeji (Ganzeji Temple)
東近江市川合町９５０
A Soto sect temple located in Iwami City, Shiga Prefecture, enshrining a standing statue of Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its principal image, with a connection to Prince Shotoku.
History
It is said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku. The principal standing statue of Kannon is believed to be a likeness of Prince Shotoku's mother. The buildings were destroyed during Oda Nobunaga's burning of Mount Hiei, but the principal image was hidden by villagers and survived. The temple was revived in 1624 CE (Kangyo 1) by inviting San'ei Honshu, and it became a Soto sect temple.
