Virtual Old Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #29 Gyokusen-ji Temple

 

     Gyokusen-ji Temple was founded by Tachibana Tsunekiyo in 1321.  His elder brother, Tsunemitsu, was working in Hyuga Province.  Tunemitsu believed in Avalokitesvara and Bhaisajyaguru so devotedly that they sent Tsunekiyo a message that Tsunemitsu had died.  Tsunekiyo built the temple to thank them.

     Priest Shogi transferred it to the Chan Sect, and renamed it Gyokusen-ji in1330’s.
