Eiriji Tachiki Kannon
会津坂下町塔寺松原２９４４
A temple of the Shugyo-ha branch of the Shingon sect located in Aizubangaza, Fukushima Prefecture, commonly known as Tachiki Kannon (Standing Kannon). The Kannon Hall houses a standing statue of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) carved from a single piece of wood, which is one of the largest in Japan.
History
Legend holds that in 540 CE (Kinto 1), a monk named Seigan from the Liang dynasty established a hermitage. Later, in 634 CE (Shomu 6), a monk named Eiryo named the temple Eiriji. Another tradition states that in 808 CE (Doto 3), Sakanoue no Tamamaro founded the temple following the will of Kukai. At its peak, the temple complex comprised 36 sub-temples, but today only the Niomon (Lion Gate), the main hall, and the Kannon Hall remain.
