Toofukuji 東福寺 Tofuku-Ji

Nr. 02 - 金峯山 Kinbozan 　世尊院 Seson-In　東福寺
中野区江古田３丁目 / 3 Chome Egota, Nakano ward
Shingon Sect : 豊山派


source : goshuin.blog.jp/archives

This temple was founded in 1280, but the name of the founder is not known. It seems the villagers of Egota built it.
It is related to the temple 宝仙寺 Hosen-Ji in 中野村 Nakano Village.
It is located on a hill, with stone steps leading up to the wide compound.

The main statue is 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O, said to be made by Kobo Daishi.

The 3nd Shogun Iemitsu and 8th Shogun Yoshimune in 1728 passed here on their takagari　鷹狩りhawk hunting excursions and had a meal (ozensho 御膳所), now a stone memorial reminds of these events.

Gofunai 御府内八十八ヶ所霊場 88 Henro Temples in Edo
Go-Funai 88kasho - Visiting 88 Temples in the Lord's City
Junrei - Pilgrimage in the central area of Tokyo
- Introduction -



This pilgrimage was established in 1755 by 正等和尚 Shoto Osho (1703-1774).
His grave is at the temple Nr. 31, 多聞院 Tamon-In.

Gofunai or 府内 Funai referred to the part of Edo that was under the jurisdiction of the machibugyoo 江戸町奉行 city magistrate. Fukagawa, Itabashi, Shinagawa, Honjo, Senju and Yotsuya were included.

Jippensha Ikku 十返舎一九 (1765–1831) mentiones this pilgrimage as　東都大師巡八十八箇所. He wrote that many people start a pilgrimage to seek healing from an illness or pray to stay healthy until the day they have to die, so as not to become a burden to their family.
Like watching Kabuki theater, going to a pilgrimage in Edo became a kind of hobby for the rich. It is also a way for bereaved people to try and cope with the loss of a loved one.

After the Meiji restoration, earthquakes and fires some temples were relocated outside ofthe central area, to make room for the modern city development.
Therefore the temples are now located here and there in Tokyo.

It is only important to start the pilgrimage at temple number 01 and end at temple number 88.

- quote -
Sumako Matsui 松井須磨子 Matsui Sumako (November 1, 1886 – January 5, 1919)
was a Japanese actress and singer. Born as Masako Kobayashi in Matsushiro, Nagano, Nagano Prefecture as the fifth daughter and last of nine children of Tohta Kobayashi, she was adopted by the Hasegawa family in Ueda at the age of six and in 1900 graduated Ueda school. She had to return to her birth family after her adopted father died, however in the year of her return, her natural father also died. At the age of 17 she moved to Tokyo.
She married in 1903 at the arrangement of relatives but divorced within a year.
In 1908 she married Seisuke Maezawa from the same country village and in 1909 joined Shoyo Tsubouchi’s newly established theatre group only to divorce Maezawa the following October 1910.
Matsui first became famous in 1911 for her portrayal of Nora in A Doll’s House. In 1913 after establishing the Geijutsu-za theatre troupe with the shingeki director Hogetsu Shimamura, she became an acclaimed actress thanks to her performance in the role of Katusha in Tolstoy’s Resurrection (translated by Shimamura). "Katyusha's song", written by Shinpei Nakayama, which she sang in the film, became a huge hit selling over 20,000 copies at the time. This was said to be the first ryūkōka song.
After Shimamura died of the Spanish flu on November 5, 1918, she committed suicide by hanging on January 5, 1919.
It was Matsui’s wish
to be buried alongside Shimamura, with whom she had been having an affair. However, her wish was not to be granted and her grave lies with her family in her hometown of Matsushiro.
Remains are also buried in the Tamon-In Temple in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Gofunai 御府内八十八ヶ所霊場 88 Henro Temples in Edo
Go-Funai 88kasho - Visiting 88 Temples in the Lord's City
江戸八十八ケ所霊場めぐり Junrei - Pilgrimage in central Tokyo
- Introduction -



This pilgrimage was established in 1755 by Shootoo Oshoo　正等和尚 Shoto Osho (1703-1774).
His grave is at the temple Nr. 31, 多聞院 Tamon-In.

Gofunai or 府内 Funai referred to the part of Edo that was under the jurisdiction of the machibugyoo 江戸町奉行 city magistrate. Fukagawa, Itabashi, Shinagawa, Honjo, Senju and Yotsuya were included.

In Shikoku, all the Henro temples belong to the Koyasan Shingon sect of Buddhism. When the Gofunai route was established in Edo, temples of other Shingon sects participated too. They all have a statue of Kobo Daishi in the compound, surrounded by sacred sand from the Shikoku pilgrim temple of the same number, thus the Edo pilgrims could "step on sacred sand" of Shikoku :

. o-sunafumi, osunafumi お砂踏み stepping on sacred sand .

Some temples have お砂踏の石 a stone memorial, a flat stone to step on with the "Sacred Sand" in mind, or a statue of Kobo Daishi to walk around.


source : blog.goshuin.net/gofunai

The Henro pilgrim is always walking together with Kobo Daishi　二人同行, usually wearing white robes, a hat and a walking stick, symbolizing Kobo Daishi.
The go-eika ご詠歌 chant of the temple is the same as the corresponding to the temple with the same number in Shikoku.

Jippensha Ikku 十返舎一九 (1765–1831) mentiones this pilgrimage as　東都大師巡八十八箇所. He wrote that many people start a pilgrimage to seek healing from an illness or pray to stay healthy until the day they have to die, so as not to become a burden to their family.
Like watching Kabuki theater, going to a pilgrimage in Edo became a kind of hobby for the rich. It is also a way for bereaved people to try and cope with the loss of a loved one. Masaoka Shiki wrote:

その人の足あとふめば風薫る
sono hito no ashiato fumeba kaze kaoru

there is a fragrant breeze
if you can step on the footprints
of a loved one

. Masaoka Shiki　正岡子規　 .

After the Meiji restoration, earthquakes and fires some temples were relocated outside of the central area, to make room for the modern city development.
Therefore the temples are now located here and there in Tokyo. This is one suggestion for a route:

1－85－81－84－62－43－61－82－32－34－86－71－31－22－58－48－77－65－69－80－27－19－20－67－13－74－68－73－40－46－50－51－45－72－41－60－78－49－53－55－70－63－57－64－42－56－66－59－47－33－35－28－79－87－76－54－52－30－38－15－17－16－14－12－11－3－24－2－36－29－23－37－25－21－18－83－39－26－44－10－9－75－6－5－7－4－8－88

It is only important to start the Edo Gofunai pilgrimage at temple number 01 and end at temple number 88.

建立大師相応和尚 Konryu Daishi So-O Kasho (833 - 918)
（そうおうかしょう） Souou, priest Soo Kasho
His teacher was Ennin.



He was born in 近江国浅井郡 Azaigun in Omi and is said to be a descendant of 天帯彦国押人命 Ametarashihikokunioshihito no Mikoto, the first son of Kōshō 孝昭天皇 Kosho Tenno (475 - 393 BC), the fifth emperor of Japan.

The statue of Fudo is a secret statue and only shown on the 28th day of the 8th month.

- Chant of the temple
白露の玉まくくずのかつら川　くる秋にしも我はかへらん

- quote -
Sokushō Kō 息障講 Stopping-Obstacles Group
an organization of individuals who devotedly serve the practitioner and act as guides through the Kyoto portion of the circumambulation.
- Writes Catherine Ludvik:
"The Sokushou-kou appears to derive its name from a temple in the western foothills of Mt. Hira in Shiga Prefecture known as Katsuragawa Sokushō Myō-ō-in 葛川息障明王院, an important center of Tendai mountain asceticism since the Heian period (794-1185).
The temple was established by the founding figure of the Kaihougyou, the Tendai monk Souou 相応 (831-918), who performed ascetic practices in this area. When Fudo Myo-o appeared to him in a waterfall, Souou jumped in to embrace him, and, finding a log of a katsura 葛 tree, enshrined it.
Tradition has it that from this log of katsura he carved three images of Fudo, worshipped today at Katsuragawa Sokushou Myou-ou-in, the temple he established near the waterfall, at Mudouji 無動寺 (Mudo-Ji), the temple he set up on Mt. Hiei, and at Isakiji 伊崎寺 in Shiga Prefecture."

Isakiji 伊崎寺 Isaki-Ji (Izaki-Ji)
滋賀県近江八幡市白王町1391 / Shiraocho, Omihachiman, Shiga

Isaki no saotobi 伊崎の竿飛び　Isaki Pole Diving
- quote -
Izaki Pole Diving is a Buddhist rite held on the 1st Sunday of August every year at Izaki Temple in Shirao Town in Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture.



Izakiji Temple located at the tip of the small peninsula protruding into Lake Biwa is a temple belonging to the Tendai sect. It is said that the temple was founded in the Teikan era (859-877) by Priest Gyoki.
A thick, square 13m pole protrudes out in parallel to Lake Biwa, about 7 meters above the water.
On the day of the event young trainees at the temple dive boldly from the end of the pole, or drop into the water after hanging by their feet from the metal ring also attached to it.



The rite is said to date back more than 1100 years, to when the monk Konryu Daishi trained at the temple.
He would throw a bowl down onto the lake in order to collect charity from the fishermen below, and then dive down into the water to pick it up again.
It is performed to pray for getting rid of bad luck and also testing for participants’ courage, which is a vestige of harsh ascetic training performed by Tendai monks.
The spectators on fishing boats on the lake erupt into cheers and applause when gallant young men dive into the lake with splashes of water in the strong sunshine.

Hoozanji, Hōzan-ji 宝山寺 / 寳山寺 Hozan-Ji - Ikoma
奈良県生駒市門前町1-1 / 1-1 Monzenchō, Ikoma-shi, Nara



- quote -
'Ikoma-Shoten' 生駒聖天.
a Buddhist temple in Monzenmachi, Ikoma, Nara, Japan.
It is also called 'Ikoma-Shoten' (生駒聖天）.
The area around Hozan-ji was originally a place for the training of Buddhist monks.
The name of the place at that time was Daisho-Mudo-ji (大聖無動寺).

Mount Ikoma was originally an object of worship for the ancient people in the region, and so this area was selected as a place for religious training. The training area is said to have opened in 655 by En no Gyōja. Many Buddhist monks, including Kukai (空海), are said to have trained in here.

Hozan-ji started when Tankai (湛海) re-opened this training area in the 17th century. Tankai set up a statue of Kankiten at this place in 1678, the official year Hozan-ji was established.
In the Edo period, this temple was one of the most popular Buddhist temples in this region.
