Virtual Edo Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #18 Tengaku-in Temple

 

     Tengaku-in Temple was founded by Priest Zenku near Sakura-no-baba Riding Grounds in 1590, when Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) moved to Edo.  Later, it moved to Bakuro-cho.  It was burned down in the 1657 Meireki Great Fire, and Priest Buntetsu revived it in its present place.

     It enshrined an Avalokitesvara statue, which was made in the continent and which was called Tejima Kannon for some reason.
