- quote
According to the temple biography, it is said to be an ancient temple related to the opening of 行基 Gyoki in Tenpyo 10 (738),
and it is said that it was originally located on Mt. Atago in the west and had 17 temples.
During the Tensho era (1573-1592), the army under 織田信長 Oda Nobunaga attacked and burned down 諸堂 Morodo.
The chief priest of the time, 蓮華法印 Renka Hoin, took out the statue of Fudo Myo, the principal idol, on his back and escaped the difficulties.
In the 3rd year of Genroku (1690), the fourth great monk of Chuko, 海養法印 Kaiyo Hoin, moved the temple to its present location and changed the name of the temple to Daishoin Matsui Temple.
The statue of Fudo Myo, the principal idol, was made in the late Heian period and is designated as an important cultural property of the country.
It is said that 源 頼義 Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, a military commander of the Heian period, sensed Fudo Myo in the camp, engraved it in the Jocho period of the Buddhist priest in Kyoto, and worshiped it as a lifelong memorial Buddha.
