- quote
Sugimoto-dera (大蔵山観音院杉本寺, Taizō-zan Kannon-in Sugimoto-dera)
is a Buddhist temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, one of the oldest temples in Kamakura and, together with Hōkai-ji, the only one of the Tendai denomination.
Two of the three statues of goddess Kannon it enshrines are Important Cultural Properties.
Sugimotodera is nicknamed Geba Kannon ("Dismount Kannon"), because horsemen never failed to dismount from their steeds when they passed by.
(According to a different version of the legend, non-believers always fell from their horse when passing in front of the temple.)
The temple is a branch temple (末寺, matsuji) of Hōkai-ji.
According to the temple's own records,
Sugimoto-dera was founded in 734 by the minister of the Imperial Court Fujiwara no Fusasaki (681 – 737) and
行基菩薩 priest Gyōki on orders by Emperor Shōmu.
The temple's legend holds that Empress Komyo (701–760) in the Nara Period (710–794) instructed Fujiwara and Gyoki (668–749) to build the temple enshrining a statue of Eleven-Headed Kannon as the main object of worship. It is therefore considered to be the oldest of Kamakura's temples, predating the Kakamura shogunate by half a millennium.

Gyooganji, Gyōganji 行元寺　Gyogan-Ji Gotanda
牛頭山 Gozuzan 千手院 Senju-In

東京都品川区西五反田4-9-10） / Tokyo Shinagawa ward Gotanda

The main statue is Senju Kannon 千手観音.

行元寺の創建年代等は不詳ながら、日光御門主の訪問があった寺院だといいます。尊慶（寛永9年寂）が牛込に中興開基、寺領4石の御朱印状を拝領していたといいます。
行元寺は元牛込肴町にあり行願寺とも称されていました｡本尊である千手観音は恵心僧都の作と伝えられ､甞て頼朝公が石橋山で敗戦して､関東下向の砌行元寺に来詣し本尊に祈願して曰く､もし天下に覇たるを得ば荘田を寄附し永く法燈を輝かさんと｡其の夜尊像を襟にし､天下を平定すと夢を見る｡後に霊夢の如くなると､故に世俗これを襟掛の尊と称す､とあります｡
又一説には行元寺は､室町時代太田道灌が江戸城を築いた時に地鎮祭を行ったという名僧尊慶によって開かれたとも言われるが詳しくは明らかになっていません｡
現在は明治末に区画整理により､現住所に移転しました｡戦火により本堂焼失以後､昭和30年コンクリートブロックの本堂を建て､本尊を安置してあります｡行元寺は頼朝公祈願により､祈願寺として維持しております｡
17世豊道慶中は春海と号し､日本芸術員会員として戦前戦後を通じて書道会の中心的役割をになった｡
戦後日展に書部門を設立するに盡力し又書道教育にもつくした｡作品として浅草寺の楹聨､延暦寺の大講堂､目黒瀧泉寺の春洞西川先生碑､日光山輪王寺の石柱などがある｡
18世印南慶隆は渓龍と号し､父春海と同じく書道会の要職を歴任し､モダンで特異な作風をもって一家をなした｡終戦直後に用いられた隷書の読売新聞題字は現在も用いられている｡
行元寺には､隠語の碑がある｡碑は太田南畝の筆になるもので裏面に28字より成る隠語が綴られている｡近時歴史研究の方々が訪れて調べられることが多い｡

The History of Shōfuku-ji temple (Sacred Mountain Aonominesan, Granting protection at the Sea)
Shōfuku-ji temple stands 336m (1102ft) above the sea level,
in the middle of Ise-Shima National Park. Its terrain spreads between cities of Toba and Shima. The temple is a sacred ground and one of the important spiritual places in Tōkai area. Surrounded by beautiful nature of Aonomine mountain, Shōfuku-ji is said to be the first place in the area where Yamatohime no mikoto (the legendary daughter of Emperor Suinin (29-70), who established Ise Shrine) made a shrine devoted to Amaterasu – Shinto goddess of the Sun.
The main statue of the temple is Jūichimen Kannon (Eleven-Faced Kannon),
which according to the legend appeared at the beach of Ōsatsu village, riding on the back of a whale.
The Light of Wisdom (kōmyō) was emanating from her body in all directions. She flew up in the air and settled down on Aonomine mountain, where the temple lies today.

Sakashimagawa Jizo 逆しま川地蔵尊 Jizo Bosatsu from River Sakashima
Once upon a time, an old woman from 北奥田 Kita-Okada had a dream:
"If you built 地蔵堂 a Jizo Do Hall at the place where the river runs upside down, your family will be for ever prosperous!"
They found a place where the water was running upside down and built a hall to venerate Jizo Bosatsu.
The water of the river went back to flow normally.
The family of the old woman became prosperous.
Washing with the water of such a river will take away warts.

昔，ある六部が根津村の長命寺大日堂にお篭りしていると，子猫が沢山集まってきてうるさく鳴く。よく聞くと「国分寺の小太ばば来なけりゃ踊りにゃならん」といっており，大きい怪猫が嵐と共に入ってきて子猫達と共に踊り狂った。六部が仕込杖で怪猫を刺すと，血を滴らせて逃げていった。次の日，「小太ばば」が門前の小太郎の家の老婆であることを知り，訪ねてみると，老婆は昨日足を痛めて寝ているという。六部がお薬師様に祈願して法力を身につけ小太郎の家に乗り込むと，老婆は怪猫の本性を現して尾野山に逃げ込んだ。家を探すと，縁の下から老女の白骨が現れた。小太郎は薬師様に願をかけ，六部の助けで尾野山に飛びつけて怪猫を仕留めた。今も国分寺の裏に六部の石塔があり，小太郎屋敷という地名も残っている。
