Virtual Kanesawa 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #4 Eisen-ji Temple

 

     There used to be Eisen-ji Temple.  The last written record about it was dated in 1775.  When Hayashi Jussai (1768-1841), Mamiya Kotonobu (1777-1841) and others compiled the New Chorography on Musashi Province at the beginning of the 19th century, it had already became a hermitage and was called Eisen-in.  The main deity,  the Arya Avalokitesvara statue, is supposed to have been moved to Yakuo-ji Temple nearby.
