Ookuboji　大窪寺　Okubo-Ji
香川県さぬき市多和字兼割96

Visiting in 2002, with a bit of "Daruma Hunting".

This is the very last one of the 88 henro pilgrim temples in Shikoku. Pilgrims come here with a full heart, leaving their walking stick kongō-zue as a sign of gratitude to Kobo Daishi, who has walked with them and protected them on the long pilgrimage.





The temple bell and little pilgrim's bells have even been selected as one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan by the Ministry of the Environment.




Okubo-Ji is located at the foot of two high mountains, symbolizing the two important Mandalas of Esoteric Buddhism.
Mount Nantai is 776 meters high.

The main deity is Yakushi Nyorai 薬師如来, Buddha of healing.

The sacred mantra is
おん ころころ せんだり まとうぎ そわか on korokoro sendari matoogi sowaka

The pilgrim's song is
諸病なかれと願いつつ まいれる人は大窪の寺

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::








The compounds are huge, with many interesting buildings and other monuments, and a huge Gingko-Tree shadowing it all.





Even the komainu guardian dog is enjoying the cherry blossoms.


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Since it is the last temple of the pilgrimage, you put the walking stick, which is an incarnation of Kooboo Daishi himself, at a special place to rest there.




People also offer small statues of Kobo Daishi to express their thanks.







. Kobo Daishi, Kukai 弘法大師　空海 .

The Five Great Wisdom Kings, Godai Myo-O - 五大明王

. The Five Great Elements of the Universe - 地水火風空の五大 .

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


The view down the steep valley to the pink cherry blossoms was just breathtaking. On the stone stairway up to the temple was a simple little stone statue of a Hime Daruma (Daruma as a Princess) - at least that is what the statue looked to me.

in gratitude


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Since Temple 88 is the last, it signifies your wish has been granted, your vow fulfilled
結願 kechigan, ketsugan .



And on the body of this wooden Daruma is a large sign saying: Kechigan Daruma!
So here again we find a natural combination of Kobo Daishi and Daruma Daishi on the Shikoku Pilgrimage.
These impressive Darumas are made by Mr. Fujii Hiroyuki, Samukawa-Choo Ishida-Nishi 2585-2. 藤井博行　寒川町石田西2585‐2 .The kind lady at the store even checked the telephonebook, but Mr. Fujii was not listed.

While seeking a new spiritual place, Shoku 性空上人, a holy Buddhist priest, founded the Engyoji Temple on Mt. Shosha in the early Heian Period (10th century). This temple is one of the three most important training centers of the Tendai sect, and is called the Mt. Hiei of The West.

Kannon Statue

From the ropeway terminal you can walk up the pathway while flanked by Kannon statues of 33 pilgrimage sites. The clear and solemn atmosphere is physically and spiritually refreshing.

Juryoin 寿量院
Juryoin has the highest rank among the sub-temples, and records show the former Emperor Goshirakawa visited there. Its outer appearance is built in the traditional Shinnden style, but the inside was designed in the Shoin style. You can enjoy a “Shojin Dinner” with Shosha lacquer ware by appointment.

Maniden 摩尼殿
The magnificient structure of Maniden, standing halfway up the rocky cliff, reminds visitors of the Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.

Kaizando 開山堂

Shoku, founder of Engyoji Temple, is worshiped at “Kaizando”. Formally there were Sumo wrestlers, carved by Jingoro Hidari, sustaining the roof at the four corners. But it is said that the wrestler at the northwest corner ran away, incapable of sustaining the weight of the roof.

Gohoodoo 護法堂 Goho-Do

These two buildings, Gohodou, with thatched roofs made of cypress bark, are dedicated to two deities,
Ototen 乙天 and Wakaten 若天.
They served Shoku as guards and guides.

The Benkei Study is facing Gohodo. It is said that Benkei had studied and trained at Mt. Shosha in his youth, and many legends and related objects remain.

Art and Craft Museum 美術工芸館
After spending a relaxing and calm time on Mt. Shosha, you are welcome at the “Shosha-no-sato Art and Craft Center” at the foot of the mountain. You will find artwork done by Kosho Shimizu who was born in Himeji and became the chief priest at the Todaiji Temple in Nara. You can observe or participate in making traditional Himeji crafts such as Himeji Hariko, Himeji goma, leather products and Himeyama dolls.

kaisan 開山 temple founder

- quote
Kaisan (開山) is a Japanese term used in reference to the founder of a school of Buddhism or the founding abbot of a Zen monastery, literally meaning "mountain founder" or "to open a mountain." Ch'an monasteries of China and Japan have traditionally been built in mountainous regions, with the name of whatever mountain it has been built upon then fixed upon the monastery as well as the founding abbot.
©　More in the WIKIPEDIA !


- quote
A kaisandoo (開山堂, kaisan-dō), also termed the Founder's Hall,
is a temple structure in a Japanese Buddhist monastery complex or other temple where an image (or images) of the founding abbot and other significant teachers and Buddha ancestors are kept, along with a memorial slab (J. ihai). Sometimes also referred to as the Patriarch Hall (J. soshido) or Reflection Hall (J. Eishitsu), this building holds memorial services yearly on the anniversary of the death of the founding abbot.

The largest Founder's Hall in Japan is the Goei-dō (御影堂) in front of the Higashi Hongwanji (Hongan-ji) Temple in Kyoto, Japan, one of two head temples of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Buddhism.

- quote
kaisandou　開山堂 kaisando
A hall that enshrines a statue, portrait or memorial tablet of the founder of a temple or the founder of a particular Buddhist sect to which the temple belongs. Frequently, the halls are 3x3 bays square but sizes vary. The word kaisan 開山 means founder.
There are other names for these halls depending on the sect and the time of establishment, but the usual term at Zen sect temples is kaisandou. Temples of Joudo 浄土 or Joudoshin 浄土真 sects, often call these halls *mieidou 御影堂 Miei-Do.
In the Shingon 真言 sect, the hall is called *daishidou 大師堂 Daishi-Do after the founder *Kuukai 空海 (774-835), who was posthumonsly given the name *Kobo Daishi 弘法大師 in 921. Other names used instead of kaisandou are *soshidou 祖師堂 Soshi-Do, meaning a hall dedicated to the founder of the sect, for example that at Manpukuji 萬福寺 (1669) in Kyoto, shidou 祀堂 Shi-Do and haidou 牌堂 Hai-Do. There was a great proliferation of founder's halls during the Kamakura period.

Some temples are established by direct orders from an Emperor (chokugan-ji).
When an emperor decided to have a temple built with a certain vow to the deities, he usually entrusted a high priest with the effort to visit that region and supervise the construction.
The founder of a temple is called kaisan.

京都府京都市左京区一乗寺才形町 Saikata Village, Kyoto
Ichijoji is a district in Sakyo ward of Kyoto, with many famous buildings.


Ichijoo-Ji Konbuku-Ji 一乗寺金福寺 Ichijo-Ji
a Zen temple famous through Basho, Buson and Kyoshi.


- quote
Konpukuji temple is one of the most important historic site for Haiku enthusiasts.
A number of travellers visit this holy site of Haiku, a Japanese style poetry, annually around the world.

Historical back ground
In 864, An’e (An'ne 、安恵 / 安慧) , a monk, built Konpukuji, due to his master, Ennin’s dying wish. The temple was originally called Ryugean.

Tesshu 鉄舟, a Japanese monk, restored Konpukuji in the mid 18th century. It belongs to Nanzenji temple, a Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. Matsuo Basho, a renowned Japanese Haiku master, frequently visited the temple and had enjoyed an intellectual and cultural exchanges with Tesshu.

Since Basho stayed at the thatched hat in the east side in the back of the garden, the place has been called Basho Hermitage (Basho-an).
The temple was then ruined later.
Yosa Buson, a renowned Japanese poet and Haiku master, restored the temple in 1776. Now it hosts a famous tea room.




After passing through a gate and turning to the left, visitors receive a spectacular view. Pass through a dry landscape garden on the left and a building. With a wonder and an expectation, take steps towards the hut by looking a dry landscape garden and a building on the left.

Green moss delicately cover a ground under the round topiaries. A sazanqua tree gorgeously fills up itself with blooming white flowers on the left under the hut. On May, azaleas put pinkish flowers on the topiaries.

The hut keeps a peaceful surroundings, sitting on hilltop, overlooking the city. Take a seat in the hut. Immerse yourself to be surrounded by beautifully tinged foliages with red, orange and yellow. Listen to the sounds of tossing foliages and feel milder lights under trees, forgetting about time.

Tesshu (円光寺の鉄舟和尚) was a good friend of Matsuo Basho.
Basho visited him frequently when he stayed in Kyoto.
Tesshu named an old hermitage in the compound after him, another Basho-An 芭蕉庵, which now has a beautiful curved thatched roof and a small tea room.

For the tea ceremony and haikai meetings with Yosa Buson, there were always just a few good friends invited, like Takai Kito 几董, 道立 and Hyakuchi 百池.

Teramura Hyakuchi 寺村百池 (1748 - 1836)
a great sponsor of Buson, who lived to the ripe age of 88. He had a silk and cloth store 糸物 in Kyoto, the Sakai-Ya 堺屋. His haikai name was Dairaidoo 大来堂 Dairaido.
Dairaido studied haikai with Buson, painting with Maruyama Ookyo 円山応挙 (1733 - 1795) and the tea ceremony with the 6th master of the Yabunouchi school 薮内流六代比老斎紹智

- Buson wrote the following haiku at this temple :

鹿ながら山影門に入日哉
. shika nagara yamakage mon ni irihi kana .


耳目肺腸ここに玉巻く芭蕉庵 ji moku hai choo
三度啼きて聞こえずなりぬ鹿の声 mitabi
畑うつやうごかぬ雲もなくなりぬ hata utsu ya
冬ちかし時雨の雲もここよりぞ fuyu chikashi
我も死して碑にほとりせむ枯尾花 ware mo shi shite

Buson at Basho-an



(the following haiku are given in translation by Dougill san:)
ji moku hai chou koko ni tama maku Basho-an

hata utsuya ugokanu kumo mo naku nari nu
fuyu chikashi shigure no kumo mo koko yori zo
ware mo shi shite hi ni hotorisemu kareobana
