Butsugi-ji Main Hall
日本、〒798-1102 愛媛県宇和島市三間町 則 １６８３
A temple of the Mishima-ha branch of Shingon Buddhism and the 42nd station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The principal image is Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana Buddha), and the temple also houses a statue of Kobo Daishi (Kukai) bearing an inscription, recognized as the oldest of its kind in Japan.
History
According to tradition, in 807 CE (Doto 2), Kukai recognized this site as a sacred place, carved an image of Dainichi Nyorai into a camphor tree, and established the temple. During the Kamakura period, it flourished as the family temple of the Iyo Saien-ji clan. The current main hall was built in 1728 CE (Kyo-ho 13) by Date Murakata.
