Benten-shaped Stone Lantern
京都市伏見区東柳町５１１ 長建寺
A temple of the Shingon Daigo sect located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. The principal image is Hachiboku Benzaitei (the eight-armed Goddess of Wisdom). It features a Benten-shaped stone lantern dedicated in 1699 (Genroku 12) by Kengata Masau.
History
In 1699 (Genroku 12), Kengata Masau, the magistrate of Fushimi, relocated the buildings of Tamon-in, a sub-temple of Sokusei-in, to their current location to develop Nakashima Island and revive Fushimi. He established a new temple and named it Choken-ji, taking the character 'ken' from his surname and the character 'cho' to wish for longevity. Since then, it has served as a place of prayer for the Fushimi magistrates.
