. Kannon Bosatsu Introduction .

This small statue of about 1 meter is secret and only shown once every 33 years.
It is made from one piese of a 針葉樹 cornifer.
It was made by 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu.
Gyoki came to the area on a long boat trip and when he landed in 上総国市原郡五井村洲崎, he fell asleep.
In his dream he saw a huge serpent swimming in the river, which was in fact the trunk of a large tree.
Gyoki took the trunk and used natabori 鉈彫り hatched carving to make the statue.

The temple was founded in the Heian Period by 慈恩 Priest Jion.
