Nr. 43 - 源光山 Genkozan 円手院 Enshu-In - 明石寺 Meiseki-Ji - Brilliant Stone Temple
愛媛県西予市宇和町明石201 / 201 Uwachō Ageishi, Seiyo-shi, Ehime-ken
- quote
This temple was founded in the 6th century by Shōchō Enjun ?円手院正澄 , under the orders of Emperor Kinmei 欽明天皇. Later, a 5th generation disciple of En no Gyōja (En no Ozuna) named 寿元 dedicated the gods of the twelve Kumano shrines here and made this the Dōjō of the practice for followers of Shugendō. Kōbō Daishi repaired the temple buildings and Minamoto Yoritomo constructed buildings and donated a Sutra mound (kyōzuka) in memory of the nun Ike no Zenni in the early years of the 13th century.
During the Kamakura Period, the Saionji clan became rulers of southern Iyo and patronized this temple, as did Uwajima Date in the Edo Period.
The temple is popularly called Ageshisan (Brilliant Rock Mountain). Note the reddish roof bricks (Sekishun-kawara).
Note: This is the temple where many pilgrims start if they are coming from Kyūshū or further south. You can see Kyūshū from the hill behind the temple, or as you cross over the mountain coming from Temple 42. The trail over the mountain has been repaired and is now in spectacular shape.
