Old Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #11 Enjo-ji Temple

      In 1581, Priest En'ei founded Mitsuzo-in Temple in Hongo, Edo, when Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) was fighting to unite the whole of Japan.  In 1620, 4 years after the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), who actually united the whole of Japan, Priest Hosen renamed it Enjo-ji, and moved it to the present place in 1631.  Next year, Tokugawa Hidetada (1579-1632), the second shogun, died.
