Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #24 Kaiho-ji Temple

      One of the egg-form pagodas in the graveyard tells Kaiho-ji Temple was founded by 1770’s.  The main hall enshrines not only the Arya Avalokitesvara statue but also those of Yama-raja and 10 Judges.  The precincts also has the stone Buddhist images of Six Ksitigarbha and Shozuka Granny as well.  The granny is believed to be waiting for the dead at the bank of the Sanzu River, the border river between this and the other worlds.  If you don’t have 6 coins, you will be stripped of all the clothes by her.  In short, the precincts show you the players in the other world.
