Virtual Quasi-Saigoku Inage 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #32-1 Saizo-ji Temple

 

     Surprisingly enough, #32 has 2 temples in Quasi-Saigoku Inage 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.

     #32-1 is Saizo-ji Temple.  It is unknown when and by whom it was founded.  It was revived by Priest Ryokai (?-1488). In the Kanto Region, the Kyotoku War lasted from 1455 to 1478.  The temple might have burned down on one of those days.

     The temple has the Arya Avalokitesvara statue, which is said to have been carved by Unkei (?-1223).  It doesn’t necessarily mean the temple was founded in his days.
