Okadera Honbo
明日香村岡
A Shingon Buddhist temple known as Japan's first site for warding off misfortune (yakuyoke) and the 7th temple on the Saikoku 33 Pilgrimage route. The principal image is Jizo Kannon (the Samantabhadra Kannon), which is the largest clay statue in Japan.
History
The temple is said to have been founded by the monk Gi-en on the site of the Okamiya Palace, which was once the residence of Prince Kusakabe, a son of Emperor Tenmu. During the Edo period, the monk Hoju, who served as the head of Hase-ji Temple, moved to the site to restore it and became the first abbot of the revival. The temple currently belongs to the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism.
