Ōsu Kannon Temple 大須観音
It belongs to the Owari Thirty-three Kannon Temples.
- - - - - History
The official name is Kitanosan Shinpuku-ji Hōshō-in, but is popularly known as Ōsu Kannon.
The temple was originally built in about the year 1333 in Ōsu-gō, Nagaoka village, in Owari Province, which is currently known as the city of Hashima in Gifu Prefecture.
Construction was sponsored by the Emperor Go-Daigo, who appointed Shōnin Nōshin as the first head priest. Nōshin had a dream of Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion, known as Kannon in Japanese. Hence, the name Ōsu (from Ōsu-gō) Kannon. Due to repeated flooding, the temple was moved to its present location in 1612 by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the 1820s, large parts of the temple were destroyed by fire, but it was rebuilt in the 1970s.
The main hall has a very large, red paper lantern hanging from the ceiling where worshipers can tie small paper notes with wishes to the holding wires. - - - - - Library
The current temple is home to a large collection of books.
It houses about 15,000 classic Japanese and Chinese works. The Records of Ancient Matters (古事記 Kojiki), a Shinpukuji manuscript (真福寺本) transcribed by the monk Ken'yu (賢瑜) is the oldest extant manuscript of the Kojiki and consists of three books that were written in 1371–1372 during the Nanboku-chō period. It describes the ancient mythological history of Japan. The library also has many other books designated as national treasures and important cultural properties.

. Oni demon legends from Aichi 愛知県 .
Near the temple 眞福寺 Shinpuku-Ji in 岩津村 Iwazu village there lived an oni 鬼 demon,
but he was killed by the villagers.
They put its bones into a urine bottle and burried it,
but there was a curse and they held proper rituals for the dead.
They never put urine into a bottle again and the curse stopped.

sukui o mitomeru onna 救いを求める女 a woman asking for help
Once a young Samurai walked down a slope near 真福寺 the Temple Shinpuku-Ji
when he met a beautiful woman.
"Please help me, I am the courtesan and my man is coming tonight to kill me!"
The Samurai promised to help her, but then went back to his home near the river.
At night when he was in bed he heard a voice from the river:
"Help me! Help me!"
And soon the cut-off head of a woman came flowing to his home.
