Inazonoyama Shichiji (Seven Temple)

名古屋市中区大須2丁目28−5

4.1(103)

A Shingon Chizan-ha sect temple of quasi-special status, housing important cultural properties including wooden statues of Kannon Bosatsu (Avalokiteshvara) and Jizai Bosatsu (Mahasthamaprapta) in seated positions, as well as the Ekkyo (Complete Canon of Buddhism).

History

Founded in 735 CE (Tenpyo 7) by the monk Giki. In 787 CE (Enryaku 6), a seven-hall complex (Shichido Garan) was constructed to mourn children, giving the temple its name. It was later relocated and rebuilt in Nakashima District by Yasunaga, the lord of Katchibana Castle, and subsequently moved to Osu by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
