Virtual Old Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #2 Keko-in Temple

 

     Keko-in Temple was presumably abolished due to the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order in 1868 and because of the movement to abolish Buddhism and to destroy Buddhist images at the beginning of Meiji Period.

     It is said that the status as #2 temple of Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was handed over to Jufuku-ji Temple.  But it is unknown whether Jufuku-ji Temple has inherited the Avalokitesvara statue Keko-in Temple had.
