Sekiyama Shrine
〒949-2235 新潟県妙高市関山４８０４
A shrine located in Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, which has long been a sacred site for mountain worship and a center for Shugendo (mountain asceticism). It houses numerous cultural properties, including Important Cultural Properties.
History
It is said to have been founded in 708 CE (Wado 1) by the monk Hadanjo as the village shrine (sariya) of Mount Myoko. It remained a center for Shugendo until the Meiji era. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji period, the associated temple, Hozoin, was abolished. As a remnant of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, the shrine houses the bronze standing image of a Bodhisattva, an Important Cultural Property and the oldest Buddhist statue in Niigata Prefecture.
