When Roben gave it to his ancestor, he said it would protect the family from burglers, robbers and all kinds of disasters.

The statue of Yakushi is said to have been carved by Kobo Daishi, with 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon at the back side, as a double-statue, covered with gold.
The statue belonged to the 新田氏 Nitta clan in the Kamakura period and was then lost.
Much later in the 南北朝 Nanboku period in 1586 a monk named Gyoshun built a hermitage to pray for peace of the country. At night he could see a special light at the bottom of a plum tree and when he took a closer look at the place, he found the statue of the Nitta clan.
The name of the temple reflects this episode:
Bai Sho In 梅照院 Hermitage of the Shining Plum Tree
The statue is now secret, shown only every 12 years in the 寅年 Year of the Tiger.

- quote -
Jinmaku was born in Ou District, Izumo Province (modern Yatsuka District, Shimane). His real name may have been Shintaro Ishigura (石倉槇太郎, Ishigura Shintarō).
..... In 1850 he moved to Edo (now modern day Tokyo) and became a pupil of Hidenoyama Raigorō, the 9th yokozuna.
..... Jinmaku won 87 bouts and lost only 5 bouts in the top maku-uchi division. All his defeats came when he was ranked as a maegashira and sekiwake. He is the only wrestler to have never lost a bout as a yokozuna.
- - - More in the WIKIPEDIA !

is also known as the birthplace of Kanjin-zumō (勧進相撲), founded in 1684 and origin of the current professional sumo.
... In 1900 (Meiji 33), the stone monument to commend successive yokozuna, the Yokozuna Stone (横綱力士碑, Yokozuna Rikishi-hi), was built by Jinmaku Kyūgorō, the 12th yokozuna. Now, the stone inscribed with the shikona しこ名 ring name of all yokozuna until Hakuhō Shō, the 69th yokozuna, and "unrivaled rikishi" Raiden Tameemon. The shrine has many other stone monuments related to sumo.
