Wanganji Kannon Hall
長浜市高月町渡岸寺５０
A Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) hall located within the detached precincts of Kogenji Temple, housing the National Treasure, a standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon.
History
In 736 CE (Tenpyō 8), Taishō carved an Eleven-Faced Kannon for prayers to ward off disaster and established Wanganji Temple. Later, during the Enryaku era, Saichō built a seven-hall complex. In 1570 CE (Genki 1), the buildings were destroyed by war, but the Kannon statue survived by being buried underground. In 1900 CE (Meiji 33), the site came under the management of the neighboring Kogenji Temple, and in 1925 CE (Taishō 14), the Kannon Hall was rebuilt incorporating Heian-period architectural styles.
