Virtual Ueno Oji Komagome 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #23 Fudo-in Temple

     Fudo-in Temple was founded by Priest Kaizen (?-1620).

     There used to be an Amidabha Hall in the precincts, and the hall used to enshrine an eleven-faced thousand armed Ekadasamukha (or Sahasrabhuja?) statue, which copied that of the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #23 Katsuo-ji Temple.  An old guide book pointed out what they had in common as follows:  Fudo-in Temple was on the south slope along the Tanida River, and Katsuo-ji Temple was on the south slope along the Katsuoji River.

     The temple has gone through a couple of fires, and the hall has gone.
