raijuu 雷獣 Raiju, a Thunder Beast Monster
At the temple Daishooji 大聖寺 Daisho-Ji Around 1720 at a small shrine within the temple compound
there was a Raiju which could not find its way back to heaven.
The priest stuck a long pole in the ground to help it climb up.
When the officials heard the story,
they thought the temple must be blessed especially
and gave it a lot of land as special reward.

When he walked nearby on his way to 伊勢神宮 the Shrine of Ise Jingu,
he found a golden rope, heard the beautiful voice of a rooster and found a bottle of ritual water.

It was later shortened to kanenawa 金縄 "golden rope" and then called 今井山 Imaizan.

- Chant of the temple
おん　まか　きゃろにきゃ　そわか　

The temple was founded around 820.

開基は平安前期の弘仁年間(810～24)と伝えられる以外往昔の寺史は明らかでない。本尊の十一面観音は真言密教による祈祷の本尊として艶麗な姿に作られ
、鎌倉時代の特徴をよく表現しており、市の文化財に指定されている。
毎年八月九日深夜から十日にかけて、十日観音、四万六千日供養として本尊が開帳され、近在から多くの参詣がある。
現在は無住寺で、津市窪田町の一隅にひっそりと佇んでいるが、近在の檀家と信者により古刹は守られている。
又、本堂左手には現住職が奈良県信貴山より毘沙門天王を勧請し奉安されている。

Midokoro
十一面観世音菩薩＝ 頭上に十～十一の仏面を頂く観音で、衆生の十一の苦を転じ、仏果を与える広大な功徳を形に表したもの。
正面は慈悲、左方は憤怒、右方は白牙上出相、後方一面は大笑相、頂上一面は仏を表わす。
天平時代から信仰が盛んになり、ことに平安時代には民間信仰と結びつき、多くの像が作られ、
興味ある像が今に残されている。 ▽仲福寺の十一面観音立像△ 木造、彩色、像高86.5cm。鎌倉時代 寄木造りで、眼は彫眼、左手に蓮花を持ち右手は掌を前方に向けて下げ、中指と薬指を上に曲げている。頭上に十一の化仏。
正面に立像、頂上が大形の如来形となっている。
丸顔で眼、鼻、眉が大きく豊麗で両耳に巻毛を巻き、総体的に女性的にしている。
上半身はやや細身で、条帛や天衣、裳などの彫口や変化をもたせ、
作者の女性的表現に努めた傾向が伝わってくる。
後補が各所に見られるが、当初の基礎を維持している所から文化財に指定された。

Toonichiji 東日寺 Tonichi-Ji, Mukumoto
瓦崗山 Gakozan　東日寺 Tonichiji

三重県津市芸濃町椋本602 / Mie, Tsu city, Geino town, Mukumoto

The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai.

- Chant of the temple
おん　ころころ　せんだり　まとうぎ　そわか

The temple was founded in 1185 by 頼弁和尚 Priest Raiben.
The 山門 Mountain Gate was built in 1670 and relocated in 1668.
In the library are 大般若経六百巻 600 volumes of the Daihanya Sutra.

寺伝によると、延暦年間(782～806)椋本の北方薬師山に一宇を建て、薬師像を祀ったのが始まりで、爾来村里の氏仏として奉拝され、文治元年(1185)に本格的な寺院として整備された 元和元年(1615)に至り、今の地に二股竹が繁生し吉兆の仏縁を感得、この地(瓦岡野)に薬師堂を移築し、瓦岡山と号した。 さらに寛文年間(1661～73)頼弁和尚により中興され今日に及んでいる。本尊の薬師如来は弘法大師一刀三礼の作、千手観音は恵心僧都の御自作と伝えられている。本堂は寄棟造り、向拝は密教仏堂で中央方一間を内陣としている。山門は寛文八年(1668)の建立と伝える。
また当山には江戸中期の寄進と思われる大般若経六百巻が所蔵されている。境内の地蔵堂は、方形の小堂で堂々とした瓦製の露盤宝珠をあげている。
内陣に修理の跡はあるが、概ね古材を残し文久以前(1861前)の古建築であるといわれている。この建物は元々ここから500m西方の灌漑用の横山池の中にあったが、池の築造時にこの地に移築された。堂内には秘仏地蔵菩薩木像、胎内仏として石造聖観音像を収めていると伝えられる。脇壇には聖観音、大日如来、阿弥陀如来来迎像が祀られている。
また本堂と地蔵堂に掛かる鰐口について、両方の銘文をみると末寺であった千数寺(廃寺)との間でやりとりがあったらしく、
両寺の関係を知る上で数少ない金石文として貴重である。
この他、十六善神像や釈迦涅槃図を所蔵する。ちなみに開山の故地、薬師山には五輪塔の残欠や、小石仏が散在しており、伽藍地であったことを物語っている。
伝承の二股竹は今は繁生していないが、昔のものが原型のまま、外陣入口に掲げられている。
ほかにも古刹にふさわしい伝承が残されている。当山は東海四十九薬師第六番霊場でもある。

Shindaibutsuji 新大仏寺 Shindaibutsu-Ji, Tominaga
五宝山 Gohozan, 新大仏寺 Shindaibutsuji

伊賀市富永1238　/ Iga city, Tominaga

The main statue is 毘盧遮那如来 Birushana Nyorai ((Maka Birushana).

- Chant of the temple
おん　あびらうんけん　ばざら　だとばん

The temple was founded in 1202 by 重源上人 Saint Chogen.
The Buddha Statue was made by 仏師快慶 Master Carver Kaikei.

建久七年(1196)源頼朝は、この地に叔父の佐々木秀義の追善供養のため、一宇を建てた。建仁二年(1202)東大寺再興の大勧進職、俊乗坊重源上人が頼朝の協力を得て、この地に後鳥羽法皇の勅願寺として創建した祈願道場、伊賀別所が当山の始まりである。寺号を新大仏寺とした。鎌倉時代には十余坊を有し、隆盛を極めたと伝えられるが、天正年間(1573～92)の戦乱で、伽藍の大半を失い荒廃の一途をたどる。芭蕉が「丈六にかげろう高し石の上」と詠んで荒廃ぶりを嘆いたのは、貞享五年(1688)のことである。その後、享保十一年(1726)陶榮和尚が再興を発願し、藤堂藩の庇護を仰いだ。
大仏修復を終え仮堂に安置したが、享保十四年(1729)所願果たせず、中興二世宝梁律師が延享五年(1748)に上棟し、入仏したのが現大仏殿である。
その後寺容を整えつつ今日に至っている。本尊毘盧遮那如来坐像は、木造、漆箔、台座を含めると高さ6mに及び、木造仏では類をみない大仏である。仏師快慶初期の作で若々しい張りがあり、国指定重要文化財である。このほか、興正菩薩画像、俊乗上人坐像、僧形坐像、板彫五輪塔も国指定重要文化財である。舎利塔は県指定文化財になっている。成田山を勧請して「伊賀の成田山」と呼んでいるが「阿波の大仏さん」、雨乞いの寺としても知られ八百年の歴史を刻む伊賀屈指の大刹である。

midokoro
緑深い山が境内地になっており、麓に大仏殿、上人堂、開山堂など十数の堂宇が建てられている。平成七年に落慶した山門は立派なものである。ご本尊は宝蔵庫に安置され、春秋大祭日と正月以外は拝観料三百円を要する。境内では桜・あじさい・もみじや秋名菊が楽しめる。
伊賀四国八十八カ所第四番霊場、東海三十六不動尊第二十八番霊場、東海白寿三十三観音十四番霊場でもある。

- quote
An old temple built in the Kamakura period.
It enshrines a wooden Great Buddha that is over 4 meters tall and has the same appearance
as the Great Buddha at Todaiji Temple,
as well as a statue of Fudo Buddha that is 6 meters tall.

In addition, flowers such as cherry blossoms in spring, green leaves in May, hydrangeas in June,
and autumn chrysanthemums and maples in autumn are waiting for your visit.

Shindaibutsuji Temple is a “hidden autumn foliage spot”!
