Fudō-dō (Ajagaku)

小山市乙女1丁目25−25

Known by the common name Otome Fudōzon, this is the 13th site of the Northern Kantō 36 Fudōzon Spiritual Pilgrimage. Also referred to as the Fudō of Fire Suppression, this temple has historically attracted the devotion of many daimyō (feudal lords) and merchants.

History

According to legend, a monk who was undergoing ascetic practice at Chūzen-ji Lake in Nikkō carried a statue of Fudō Myō-ō that appeared on the lake's surface southward. The place where the statue could no longer be moved in the village of Otome was designated as Fudō-zuka (Fudō Mound) and the statue was enshrined there. Senryū-ji was established in 1333 CE (Shōkei 2), but it was repeatedly destroyed by fire during wars. It was later relocated to its original Fudō-hara site during the Shōwa era. In the mid-Edo period, Fudō-dō was rebuilt at the initiative of the high priest Jun'gen, and the principal image of Fudō Myō-ō was enshrined as a hidden Buddha (hibutsu).
