Jizo son 地蔵尊 Jizo Bosatsu
The Statue of Jizo Bosatsu had originally fallen into the water near the hamlet Maine.
Every night there was a strange light coming from the sea.
When the fisherman looked for it and found a statue.
It was placed in a small hut.
But every evening, when the fisher women and children were on their way home,
it touched their bodies.
So the villagers cut of its fingers.

八軸のみのりのふみのたこやくしうちおさめたる十二大願

The temple was founded in 1181 by 林秀僧正 Priest Hayashi Hideo.

He build a temple in 二条室町 Kyoto, Nijo Muromachi, and called it Eifuku-Ji.
Around 1250, the mother of a priest named 善光 Zenko became ill.

The priest thought she wanted to eat tako 蛸 an octopus,
took kyoobako 経箱 a sutra box and went to the market.
He bought an octopus and put it into the sutra box.
He prayed all the time on the way back home to 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai.
When he opened the box the ocotpus had changed into

From the scrolls bright light flowed to all directions
and to the ill monther, who recovered soon after.
Since then, the temple statue was called Tako Yakushi 蛸薬師 Octopus Yakushi.

Hamada Ryo Kannon Pilgrimage

Hamada Ryo 33 Kannon Reijo 浜田領三十三ヶ所観音霊場

宝永年間　　卽阿法印と雪山村積和尚などが開創、昭和3（1928）年に復興 ◆石見物語：随筆　から抜粋・補記◆
・濱田領三十三所と巡禮の復活・
今から二百二十餘年前、三隅正法寺の卽阿法印、龍雲寺第十七世雪山村積和尚等の高僧達によって、濱田領三十三所の札所を定め其巡禮を盛にしたものだが、何時の頃からかそれが衰微し今では全く廃れて、其中の寺院も廃滅移轉したものが少なくない。
篤信者の誰彼は此名刹道場の巡拝を思ひ立ち、昭和三年十一月の御大典に因みて愈々之れを復活した。乃つ、同行三十三人は明治節の佳節を卜し菅笠、金剛杖、負摺を身につけて濱田寶福寺に祀る第一番觀音院の本尊を拝し、御詠歌の第一聲をあげ順次巡拝して、同夜は三隅龍雲寺に一泊し、二日目の午後五時濱田觀音寺を打留めとして復興第一回の濱田領三十三靈場巡りを終った。
因みに御詠歌の作者は、寶永の歌人米山重矩、森脇澤水、矢野茂の諸氏で、京都に於て懸額三十三面を作り、各寺に奉納したのである。
又、昭和五年八月、濱田中川金平翁は歌詞を背景として觀音の妙相を描き、石板に付して詠歌本五十冊を作り、靈場の各寺に一部づつ奉納した。

Re-established in 1928.

- quote
When you visit a temple, it is important to follow the proper etiquette.
First, put your hands together and bow in front of the first gate.
Second, purify your hands with water.
Third, if you are taking part in a pilgrimage, you may want to offer osamefuda,
a paper slip with your name written on it, which indicates that you visited a temple.
(In recent years, pilgrims no longer write their contact information on these papers to prevent crime.)
Then, you should light an incense stick or a candle.
These days the candles and incense are burned outdoors to prevent fire.
You need to throw in a coin in the offering box if you take an incense stick or candle.
If there is no ceremony happening and the doors are unlocked, you can enter the temple.
Remove your shoes and place them toes out, neatly together at the bottom step.
Bow before you enter the temple itself and do not enter the altar area.
Sitting quietly with your legs underneath you near the entrance, facing the altar,
will allow you to observe the beauty and peace of the temple without breaking any taboos.
There is a big difference between the popular pilgrimage to 88 temples on the island of Shikoku.
To put it simply, those 88 temples are on the roads and places where Kukai, founder of the Shingonshu sect of Buddhism, actually went.
In contrast, the 33 temples in Iwami are for 33 Kannon to deepen believers’ faith.
But even if you are not Buddhist, you can enjoy looking at these ancient temples
and appreciating the lifestyle and devotion of earlier peoples.

Mibudera Yakushi Kyoto

京都市中京区壬生梛ノ宮町31 / 31 Mibu-naginomiya-cho, Nakagyō ward, Kyoto

The main statue is 延命地蔵菩薩 Enmei Jizo Bosatsu.
The Yakushi Statue is known as 歯痛止薬師 Ha-itamidome Yakushi,
Yakushi to heal toothache.

The temple has taken on several other names such as
Jizō-In (地蔵院), Hōdō Sanmai-Ji (宝幢三昧寺), and Shinjōkō-In (心浄光院).
The current abbot is Shunkai Matsuura.
Temple records state that Mibu-dera was originally established for the Chinese monk Jianzhen (688-763),
known as Ganjin in Japan.

- quote
The temple was founded in 991 by the 円覚上人Priest Kaiken of Onjō-ji as a gift to his mother.
In 1005 a memorial service was held in which the temple was given the name
"Komii-dera (小三井寺, lit. "little Mii-dera")" in reference to the founder's original temple.
It is said that the title "Jizō-in" was bestowed on the temple during Emperor Shirakawa's imperial visit.
The priest Engaku of the Yuzu Nembutsu school restored the temple in the medieval period.
Tradition holds that he was responsible for establishing the practice of the Mibu Dai Nembutsu Kyōgen,
now an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
Towards the end of the Edo period, the Tokugawa Bakufu established the Mibu Rōshigumi
at the nearby stronghold, the Yagi House (八木家 Yagike).
The Mibu Rōshigumi were an elite public security corp that would later be known as the Shinsengumi.
Mibu-dera's grounds served as the base for the organization's military and martial arts training.
A bronze statue of commander Kondō Isami stands within the temple precincts,
as well as a grave-site for Shinsengumi regimental soldiers.
The resting place of Kondō Isami is believed to be elsewhere.
Mibu-dera's main image was originally a half-lotus seated Kṣitigarbha statue,
fashioned in the latter part of the Kamakura period, affectionately dubbed "Mibu Jizō" among the local faithful.
The image was destroyed by arson along with the main hall on July 25, 1962.
After the fire, a standing Kṣitigarbha statue was relocated from the head temple Tōshōdai-ji
and became the temple's new main image.
The main hall was rebuilt in 1967.

History of To-ji Temple
In 794, the capital of Japan was transferred from Nara to present-day Kyoto.
With the arrival of the imperial court, the city was renamed "The Imperial City of Heiankyo" (the former name of the city of Kyoto). From the entrance of Heiankyo, an 84-meter-wide avenue ran directly north to the Imperial Palace, in the middle of the city.
The city was arranged symmetrically on either side of this grand avenue and all streets ran precisely north-south and east-west in a grid pattern. The layout of old Heiankyo is still visible in the rectilinear pattern of modern Kyoto's streets.
Two huge guardian temples were built on the east and the west sides of the main entrance of the Imperial City of Heiankyo. Unfortunately, the temple on the west side no longer exists, but To-ji, which literally means "East Temple", has survived to the present day.
In 823, the Emperor Saga honored the Monk Kukai and gave the temple to him.
Kukai made To-ji the central seminary of Shingon (or Esoteric) Buddhism and added various buildings such as the pagoda and halls.
Since then, To-ji has been the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism.
The major buildings were damaged by earthquakes and fires but have been rebuilt to retain the original layout and the architectural styles.
Many magnificent treasures such as statues, carvings, paintings and artworks are housed in these temple buildings.
