Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #31 Chokei-ji Temple

      Chokei-ji Temple has the statue of Arya Avalokitesvara, which is said to have been carved by Kukai (774-835).

     In 1793, 7 followers of Basho (1644-1694) built a stone monument with one of Basho’s haiku poem:

In a hermitage of divers

Shrimps are in baskets

Mingled with land shrimps.

Among the 7, only Soshu (?-?) is known to have been born in Mino Province.
