🛡️ Warding off misfortune

A Shingon Yamaie sect temple enshrining Jizo Kannon (the Kannon of the Wheel of Wishes) as its principal image, commonly known as Nagata Kannon or Yakuyoke Kannon (Disaster-Averting Kannon).

History

Founded in 921 CE (Engi 21) by the monk Nenbutsu Jōnin. The temple burned to the ground during the 1585 CE (Tenshō 13) Kii Campaign, but the principal image was rescued. It was later revived through the efforts of the venerable Dōyo. In 1624 CE (Kan'ei 1), it was relocated to its current site with donations from Tokugawa Tadaaki and designated as the Kii Domain's permanent temple for prayers against misfortune.
