Kikuchi Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage Site No. 21: Shokannonji Kannon-do

菊池市隈府1194−1

A Rinzai Zen sect temple of the Nanzanji branch located in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, with the mountain name Kumajisan. The principal image is Shaka Nyorai (the Buddha).

History

Established in 1344 CE when Kikuchi Takamitsu invited the monk Hoan Genkai from Shofukuji to found the temple. Takamitsu designated this temple as his family's memorial temple (bodaiji) to repay the debt of gratitude to the monk who had taken him in when his father, Kikuchi Takeki, died in battle. It was once ranked as one of the Ten Great Zen Monasteries (Juppatsu) of the Rinzai sect and flourished with many branch temples.
