Mizusawa-ji Temple: Niomon Gate
渋川市伊香保町水沢２１４−３
Mizusawa-ji is a Tendai sect temple located in Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture, and is the 16th station of the 33 Kannon Pilgrimage of the Bando region. It houses cultural properties such as the Niomon (Guardian King Gate) and the Kannon-do (Hall of Kannon).
History
It is said to have been founded during the Asuka period by Takamitsu, the provincial governor of Ueno Province. The 'Shinto Shu' (Collection of Shinto) from the Northern and Southern Courts period records that Ika-hime, the widow of Takamitsu, enshrined Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) to pray for the repose of her husband's soul. The monk Sonshu, who passed away in 1658 CE (Meirei 4), is recognized as the first restorer of the temple, and the Edo Shogunate granted the temple a letter of commendation (shuinjo).
