Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #23 Kanzo-in Temple

     Jinmu-ji Temple was founded in 724 by Gyoki (668-749), who carved the statue of Ekadasamukha, who has 11 faces, that of Bhaisajyaguru, and that of Buddha for the temple.  The Ekadasamukha statue has been enshrined in Kanzo-in Temple, which is one of the branch temples of Jinmu-ji Temple.

     The area is named Sakurayama, namely Cherry Mountain.  Some cherry trees here were transplanted to Mt. Yoshino by Muso Soseki (1275-1351), who was a Rinzai Zen Buddhist monk and teacher, and a calligraphist, poet and garden designer.
