Tatsugi Kannon (Tatsugizan An'yō-ji)
〒520-0865 滋賀県大津市石山南郷町奥山１２３１
Tatsugizan-ji (Tatsugi Kannon) is a Jōdo-shū (Pure Land) temple, known as the 20th station of the New Saigoku Sanjūsangosho (New 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Sites). Located on a mountainside, reached by climbing approximately 800 steep stone steps from the banks of the Seta River, the main hall houses the principal image of the standing Kannon.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in 815 CE (Kōnin 6) by Kūkai. Legend states that when Kūkai spotted a glowing sacred tree on the opposite bank of the Seta River, he was guided across by a white deer. He then carved an image of the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva into the sacred tree and established the temple. Because Kūkai founded the temple during his age of 42, a year considered inauspicious, the image of the Holy Kannon is revered for its power to ward off misfortune.
