Juutooji 鷲頭寺 Juto-Ji - Nakaichi
妙見宮 Myokengu 鷲頭寺 Jutoji "Eagle Head"

山口県下松市中市91/ Yamaguchi, Kudamatsu, Nakaichi

.......................................................................

Nr. 18 - Rishabi 利車毘（りしゃび）童子 Rishabi Doji

.......................................................................

The main statue is Rakuju Kannon 楽寿観音.

.......................................................................

The temple was founded in 597 by 琳聖太子 Rinsho Taishi, the Korean ancestor of the Ouchi clan.
This marked the beginning of the belief in 妙見 Myoken.
Myoken Daibosatsu 妙見大菩薩 is the protector deity of the Ouchi clan.
There was a huge matsu no ki 松の木 pine tree in the compound, which give rise to the area name
Kudamatsu 下松 "Beyond the pine tree".

The Shrine 降松神社 Kudamatsu Jinja is said to be the origin of the Myoken belief.
. Myoken Bosatsu 妙見菩薩 .
This deity is a purely Japanese Bosatsu, presumably an amalgamation of the Shinto Deity Myoken Shin 妙見神
and the deity of the Northern Polar Star (Dipper).

- quote
Ouchi Clan (大内氏) - Origin
In many cases, samurai families in Japan call themselves a descendant of so-called 'genpei tokitsu' (shortened expression of four major families) or other central nobles, however, the Ouchi clan calls itself a descendant of Rinsho taishi, the third prince of Seongmyeong-wang of Paekche.
Since Rinsho taishi emigrated to Japan and docked at Tatarahama in Suo Province, he called himself 'Tatara,' and thereafter he moved to Ouchi Village, so he is said to have used a family name of Ouchi.
However, because there is no record for Rinsho taishi in ancient times, and because it is said that the Ouchi clan came to call itself a descendant of Rinsho taishi from and after the 14th century, this legend lacks credibility.
Nothing has been made clear, except for the fact that it came from Zaichokanjin (the local officials in Heian and Kamakura periods) who had been appointed to Suo no Gonnosuke (supernumerary vice governor of Suo Province) by heredity for generations in Suo Province.
