Virtual Gyotoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #4 Jisho-in Temple

 

     Jisho-in Temple was founded in 1588 by Monk Hosen as a shrine temple of Hon-Gyotoku-Yawata Shrine, whose foundation year is unknown.

     In the 1580's, the Salt industry in Gyotoku was growing under the management of the Takagi Family, and the number of temples was increasing.  In the Kanto Region, the Takagi Family's master, Hojo Ujimasa ((1538-1590), was further expanding his territories, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) was the ruler in the western and central Japan.  In 1588, Hideyoshi invited Ujimasa to Kyoto, but Ujimasa turned down the invitation.  Political and military upheaval was threatening between east and west.
