"深川ゑんま堂" Fukagawa Enma-Do
This hall has been built in 1760.


Enmadoo 閻魔堂 Enma-Do Hall

The temple is counted as one of the
江戸三えんま / 江戸三大閻魔 three famous Enma temples in Edo




On the first floor of the building are 地獄極楽図 paintings of hell and paradise by 宋庵 Soan painted in 1784.




The statue of Enma is 3,5 m high and 4,5 m wide. (Said to be the largest in Japan.)
If people throw coins in the box for offerings (saisenbako 賽銭箱), the halo in the back of the statue lights up and flickers for a while. The statue is therefore called
ハイテク闇魔 Hi-Tech Enma.

Nr. 75 - Itokuji 威徳寺 Itoku-Ji - 赤坂不動 Akasaka Fudo

- 智剣山 Chikenzan 威徳寺 Itoku-Ji
港区赤坂4-1-10 / Minato ward, Akasaka 4-1-10
Shingon Sect : 智山派



This temple was founded in 1600 by 良台法印.
The main statue is 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O.

When priest Dengyo Daishi was on his way back from China, his ship experienced strong wind and rain. He carved a statue of Fudo Myo-o with the prayer to save the boat and threw it into the waters. He arrived safely in Japan (and later founded the Tendai sect). The statue was picked up on the beach of 越後出雲崎 Izumosaki in Echigo in 858.
The statue was later protected by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi 源頼義 (988 - 1075) in Yonezawa.
During the Kamakura period 北条時宗 Hojo Tokimune (1251 - 1284) prayed to the statue for victory in the war and it became quite famous.
In 1699, priest 住僧良台 (died 1617) had a dream and moved the statue to the hills of 武蔵一継(一ツ木) (now Akasaka Hitotsugi). The land below the temple was an irrigation pont, so he called it 池見山遮那院.
In the Edo period it became a family temple for 紀州徳川家 the Kishu line of the Tokugawa clan, and the name was changed to 智剣山威徳寺.
The temple burned down many times during the fires and war in Edo, but the statue survived to our dy.
