Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 Jigen-in Temple

      Jigen-in Temple was founded by Priest Nisshin (1271-1346) as part of his propagation of the Nichiren Buddhist School in Kazusa, Shimousa, Musashi and Sagami Provinces.  The school's main deity cannot be Avalokitesvara.

     In 1592, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) started invading the Korean Peninsula, a fisherman netted an Avalokitesvara statue, which is now sealed in an Arya Avalokitesvara cover statue.
