Hokkoku 74: Suiyozan Eishoin

〒020-0063 岩手県盛岡市材木町4−10

4.1(78)

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple known as Suiyozan (Water Nurturing Mountain). It is a center of devotion to the Sake-Buying Jizo Bosatsu (the Jizo Bodhisattva associated with purchasing sake).

History

The temple was founded by the tenth abbot of Hakkodai Hokkoji in Naku Village, Noda District, known as Manshitsu Songei. It was relocated to its current site during the tenure of the second abbot, Shushitsu Genshu. The temple refused to become a branch of the Ho-onji temple under the control of the Nanbu Domain, resulting in the loss of its right to receive domain stipends. During the famine of 1755 CE (Horei 5), the temple cooperated with the domain's relief efforts by sheltering many people.
