Virtual Buso 48 Kannon Pilgrimage #37 Shoun-ji Temple

     Shoun-ji Temple was founded in 1526 by Priest Shukaku.

In 1523, Ise Ujitsuna (1487-1541) changed his family name to Hojo, which was a brand name in the Kanto Region.  That was a proclamation of war against the Uesugi Clan over hegemony in the region.  Ujitsuna also built shrines and temples to demonstrate authority. Shoun-ji Temple might have been one of them.
