Virtual Old Kasai 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #30 Reisho-in Temple

 

     Reisho-in Hermitage was built by Priest Juhaku in 1639 in the precincts of Ryozen-ji Temple.

     Ryozen-ji Temple was founded by Priest Daicho at Surugadai in 1601, a year after the Battle of Sekigahara, in which Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) defeated the Toyotomi Clan. 

     The 2nd Priest Ryogaku moved the temple to Yushima.  It burned down in the 1657 Great Fire of Meireki, and moved to Asakusa.  Priest Kakuei revived the temple and moved it to its present place.  Every time, Reisho-in moved with the temple.
