Gyoranji 魚籃寺 Gyoran-Ji - Mita
三田山 Mitasan 水月院 Suigetsu-In

港区三田4-8-34 / Tokyo, Minato ward, Mita

魚籃観世音菩薩

- Chant of the temple
身をわけて 救う乙女の 魚かごに 誓の海の　深きをぞ知る

- quote -
Gyoranji is located in the mountain side of Tsuki no Misaki.
The name was chosen because the principal image is Gyoran Kanzeon Bosatsu (魚藍観世音菩薩), whose figure is a maiden with her hair tied in a Chinese style topknot (唐様).
The following is a Chinese tale of the time of the Tang dynasty.
The Buddha appeared in a beautiful maiden's figure, selling fish in a bamboo basket, and spread Buddhism.
The sculpture was made based on this story.

In 1652, the temple was moved to its present location at a slope, which then got the same name, 魚藍坂 Gyoranzaka.

The statue is in the 観音堂 Kannon-Do hall.
