北区田端1-25-1 / 1 Chome-25-1 Tabata, Kita ward
Shingon Sect : 豊山派
This temple was founded in the Muromachi period by 秀栄 / 秀榮 Suei.
The main statue is 地蔵菩薩 Jizo Bosatsu, carved by Kobo Daishi. The statue is not shown.
It is also called
zokuyoke Jizo 賊除地蔵 "Jizo preventing theft".
Once thieves wanted to take the statue away at night, but out of nowhere some monks appeared and could prevent it. When the priest looked at the Jizo statue next morning, its feet were covered in mud from last night's pursuit of the thief.
The temple was first established by Kobo Daishi in Kyoto, but in 1648 it was moved to Edo as the main temple of Ninna-Ji in the Kanto region.
京都仁和寺の関東末寺の取締役寺
The belief in 女人成仏の本尊 Amida Nyorai as a saviour of women was strong, so the temple became one of the Six Amida Temples in Edo.

Hōkyōintō
A hōkyōintō (宝篋印塔) is a Japanese pagoda, so called because it originally contained the Hōkyōin (宝篋印) dharani (陀羅尼) sūtra.
A Chinese variant of the Indian stūpa, it was originally conceived as a cenotaph of the King of Wuyue - Qian Liu.
----- Structure and function
Usually made in stone and occasionally metal or wood, hōkyōintō started to be made in their present form during the Kamakura period. Like a gorintō, they are divided in five main sections called (from the bottom up) kaeribanaza (反花座), or "inverted flower seat", kiso (基礎), or base, tōshin (塔身), or body, kasa (笠), or umbrella, and sōrin (相輪), or pagoda finial.
he tōshin is the most important part of the hōkyōintō and is carved with a Sanskrit letter.The 'sōrin has the same shape as the tip of a five-storied pagoda. The kasa can also be called yane (屋根), or roof. It's decorated with four characteristic wings called mimikazari (耳飾) or sumikazari (隅飾).
Different structures exist, and the hōkyōintō property of the Yatsushiro Municipal Museum in Kyushu for example is divided in just four parts, with no kaeribanaza.
The sūtra
contain all the pious deeds of a Tathagata Buddha, and the faithful believe that praying in front of a hōkyōintō their sins will be canceled, during their lives they will be protected from disasters and after death they will go to heaven.
The hōkyōintō tradition in Japan
is old and is believed to have begun during the Asuka period (550–710 CE). They used to be made of wood and started to be made in stone only during the Kamakura period. It is also during this period that they started to be used also as tombstones and cenotaphs.

tsurigane 釣鐘 hanging temple bell
In the beginning of the Meiji period they wanted to build a school. To pay for it the hanging bell and the Hokyointo of the temple were sold.
Now if there is a strong wind the school building is swaying. Once during a celebration at the school the wind blew off the roof . . .
The elders of the town only laugh at this . . . after all, the hanging temple bell had been sold . . .
