manga jizoo マンガ地蔵 Manga Jizo statue



- quote -
Jizo is regarded as the protector of children. However, the Jizo at Kongo-in, a lovely temple located one stop away from Ikebukuro Station in Toshima Ward, is looking out for a different group of people.
Who? When you go to visit, pay close attention to this little guy. His wardrobe gives you important clues. His staff has been replaced with a fountain pen and his robes are decorated with comic book panels complete with speech bubbles and sound effects. Fans of the game Dragon Quest might look at the smiling blob in in his left hand and think of the character Slime, but it’s actually a cheerful version of Jizo’s wish-filling jewel. Lastly, rather than a halo of light, Jizo is ensconced by a pen nib.
... Manga Jizo, offering protection and spiritual guidance for all aspiring artists as well as anyone who works in a creative field.
But why does Kongo-in have a manga Jizo?
Despite Akihabara’s high name recognition as the center of otaku subculture, Toshima Ward is considered the origin of Japanese manga. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, some of Japan’s most famous manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy, and Fujiko Fujio, creator of Doraemon, lived in the same apartment building: the Tokiwa-so. While then young and unknown, these artists shaped the way in which manga is produced during the time they lived in Tokiwa-so. Considering that Kongo-in is located near the site of Tokiwa-so, it’s an appropriate spot for the home of the manga Jizo.
The manga Jizo is a nadebutsu,
meaning you are encouraged to touch him for good luck. Give his head a pat to get your creative juices flowing!

The temple is counted as one of the
江戸三えんま / 江戸三大閻魔 three famous Enma temples in Edo




On the first floor of the building are 地獄極楽図 paintings of hell and paradise by 宋庵 Soan painted in 1784.




The statue of Enma is 3,5 m high and 4,5 m wide. (Said to be the largest in Japan.)
If people throw coins in the box for offerings (saisenbako 賽銭箱), the halo in the back of the statue lights up and flickers for a while. The statue is therefore called
ハイテク闇魔 Hi-Tech Enma.

- 智剣山 Chikenzan 威徳寺 Itoku-Ji
港区赤坂4-1-10 / Minato ward, Akasaka 4-1-10
Shingon Sect : 智山派



This temple was founded in 1600 by 良台法印.
The main statue is 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O.

When priest Dengyo Daishi was on his way back from China, his ship experienced strong wind and rain. He carved a statue of Fudo Myo-o with the prayer to save the boat and threw it into the waters. He arrived safely in Japan (and later founded the Tendai sect). The statue was picked up on the beach of 越後出雲崎 Izumosaki in Echigo in 858.
The statue was later protected by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi 源頼義 (988 - 1075) in Yonezawa.
During the Kamakura period 北条時宗 Hojo Tokimune (1251 - 1284) prayed to the statue for victory in the war and it became quite famous.
In 1699, priest 住僧良台 (died 1617) had a dream and moved the statue to the hills of 武蔵一継(一ツ木) (now Akasaka Hitotsugi). The land below the temple was an irrigation pont, so he called it 池見山遮那院.
In the Edo period it became a family temple for 紀州徳川家 the Kishu line of the Tokugawa clan, and the name was changed to 智剣山威徳寺.
The temple burned down many times during the fires and war in Edo, but the statue survived to our dy.
