Old Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #31 Nyorai-ji Temple
The Suzuki Family in Takawa invited the statue of Ekadasamukha, who has 11 faces, and the Hamano Family in Shinjuku founded Obai-in Temple with its beautiful plum garden in 1600's.
The Suzuki Family had worshiped the Acalanatha statue for generations, while the Hamano Family deified a stone ball. The both family have washed coins, praying to the deities. The customs have guaranteed the wealth to each family. They teamed up and put the 2 deities in Obai-in Temple so that wider people can enjoy the blessings.
