The statue of Yakushi is said to have been carved by Kobo Daishi, with 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon at the back side, as a double-statue, covered with gold.
The statue belonged to the 新田氏 Nitta clan in the Kamakura period and was then lost.
Much later in the 南北朝 Nanboku period in 1586 a monk named Gyoshun built a hermitage to pray for peace of the country. At night he could see a special light at the bottom of a plum tree and when he took a closer look at the place, he found the statue of the Nitta clan.
The name of the temple reflects this episode:
Bai Sho In 梅照院 Hermitage of the Shining Plum Tree
The statue is now secret, shown only every 12 years in the 寅年 Year of the Tiger.
