Virtual Buso 48 Kannon Pilgrimage #45 Kansen-ji Temple

 

     Kansen-ji Temple was founded by Ida Jiroemon by inviting Priest Son’yu (?-1630) to pray for the comfort of his late father, Masaari, who was killed in the Seige of Osaka Castle in 1615.  So, the temple must have been founded sometime between 1615 and 1630.  Jiroemon’s descendants still lived in Shinkoji Village as farmers when Mamiya Kotonobu (1777-1841) was compiling the New Chorography on Musashi Province at the beginning of the 19th century.
