Dai Zen-in

常滑市奥条5丁目20

4.0(104)

A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism, with the mountain name Fudaraku-zan. It is the 63rd station of the Chita Shikoku Pilgrimage and enshrines a wooden standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon (Eleven-Faced Avalokiteshvara) from the Kamakura period.

History

Founded during the Hakuhō period as a monastic complex by imperial decree of Emperor Tenmu. Shōnin Yōshun transferred the Eleven-Faced Kannon, the principal image of the South Hall, to establish Dai Zen-in. In 1469 CE (Bunmei 1), Daimyō Kōkaku entered the temple and became the founding abbot of its revival. In 1809 CE (Bunka 6), Ryōzan initiated the establishment of the pilgrimage site, designating it as the 63rd station of the Chita Shikoku Pilgrimage.

What visitors say

As the 63rd station of the Chita Shikoku Pilgrimage, it is popular for offering hand-written, colored Goshuin (shrine/temple calligraphic seal stamps) with illustrations on the spot. The grounds feature the Iblake Great Tree, a natural monument over 500 years old, and the oldest sand-stomping ritual site, created in the Meiji era. The main hall is in a state of disrepair due to aging, with sheets covering the roof while awaiting restoration.
